My daughter is 11 years old, and she’s hitting puberty, and she has a pretty wicked unibrow. It’s quite noticeable, and she’s really self-conscious about it. We started shaving her armpits, but I’m not sure how to tackle her unibrow to help her so that she’s not embarrassed. I feel like waxing is too young, and the tweezers are just going to freak her out. I always tell her to love the body that she has, and she does, but she’s also in middle school and gets made fun of, and I want to be able to help her. I just don’t know the way that is best to approach an 11-year-old any advice would be much appreciated.
Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. How to approach my daughter about her unibrow?
Wax actually wouldn’t be a bad thing let her see you get your eyebrows done so it can be a mom and daughter thing

Just lay out all options for her. There’s waxing which really isn’t that painful. Tweezers. Eyebrow razors. I think there’s even something called micro blading? Just give her all options. Help her research them. And then have her pick which she thinks is best.

I had a terrible unibrow when I was a kid and started waxing at 11. I also had super hairy legs and started shaving at 11.
Take her for a spa day 
she’s not too young n if you do a mommy daughter spa day you’ll make it a good memory for her

I started waxing my eyebrows at 10. I don’t think she’s too young, especially if she’s self conscious.
Honestly waxing is not a big deal as many people make it out to be and you know not sure if you do your brows or your nails but go with her to an appointment make it a mom and daughter thing

Waxing. Take her to a salon to get it done right.
I was 15 when I started, but I didn’t have a very noticeable unibrow either.
It would just be kind of you since she is getting bullied a bit over it.
Waxing is wayyyyy better than any other removal option. Literally one strip down the middle and done. She doesn’t have to shape the rest of the brow.

Just pluck a little in the middle - not a complete pluck job just enough to separate so she isn’t ridiculed , when hormones stop raging it’ll thin out

Get that thing waxed.
Maybe she likes her eyebrows 
strike up a conversation about a trip to get yours done and see what she says.
We’ve used the eyebrow razor and also waxed. My son is 12.
Definitely just take her to get a wax!! Make a day of it!! Get her hair and brows done!
Once they’re shaped she can tweezer them between waxes I only get mine waxed probably 3 times a year! I just manage them myself between visits as needed - even then not needed often!
Take her to a beauty salon they will wax her! And she will see other teenagers and ladies getting theirs done!
Take her to the salon and get Mani Pedi and brow wax!!
Shave it while she’s sleeping.

I wouldnt think that just waxing between her brows wouldn’t be a bad thing. Less painful than tweezing. Lasts longer also, with time, hair will grow back less and less.

As a girl who hit puberty early as well and also gets a wicked unibrow, threading. Go find a place that does threading. Its better for sensitive skin, gets the hair at the root so it takes longer to come back, and theres no fear of her accidentally getting burned with wax or going too far with the tweezers.
Waxing is the easiest and taking her to a professional might be fun. That one strip it the middle won’t hurt too much.

Keep it casual. Don’t make a big deal out of it and it won’t be. Just casually pop up one evening and tell her let’s go pluck our eyebrows together. Let her know you do it. Let her know movie stars do it. Let her know her teachers do it. Let her know it’s normal.
Eyebrow razors or the Finishing TOUCH flawless facial hair remover
The little face razors are a godsend. She can do this at home any day needed and takes seconds. Waxing is great too!! But maybe the face razor will be a better option. I personally haven’t waxed my brows in over two years and just use a face razor to maintain the shape and trim as needed!!!

I had to start waxing mine at 12. My mom shaved it before and it was BAD! My mom casually took me for a pedicure and asked if I wanted to get them done while I was there. My daughter is 2.5 and has a unibrow already. 
Take her to a salon and make a fun day of it. Maybe a pedicure too so she’s not focused on what needs “fixed”

If she wants to remove the hair let her however she wants.
I have a 12 year old- going through the hairy phase as well. Maybe take her to a shop for girl day. Do the works and have the technician shape her brows the first time. She’ll have the choice of how it looks and a good starting point to maintain it. Plus it’s self care/pampering instead of change your looks to fit in.
I was the kid who tried to fix myself, myself and alone because of the harassment at school. Like most ppl in those shoes I ended up butchering my face/eyebrows/everywhere. I had no guidance and only sadness. You are a great mom for seeking to help her and doing it kindly

as many said I would wax it. my one daughter is only 7 almost 8 and she gets made fun of already… and bugs big sister who’s almost 14 to pluck it. I know I’m for sure going to get them waxed when she is a bit older.
I think i started getting mine waxed around that age. But they also make these small electric shavers for areas like that. They are painless and quick just make sure you do show her so she doesn’t mess up her brows with it
I shave my daughter s.
Ask her if it bothers her. Maybe she’s cool w it and wants to keep it or maybe she’s waiting on you. I’d literally say to her , privately, hey do you wanna wax your middle. She’ll say yes or no. Easy peasy
Do spa day, go get your eyebrows threaded or waxed together like a mommy daughter date. Maybe a mani pedi too that way it’s not just focused on her and her eyebrows

It’s not to early. My daughter is 8 and kids are teasing her about having one. She does not but she will once she is a bit closer to puberty. She has some stray hairs that like you I could pluck or wax so we have decided to make a girls day out of it. We will go do a make up tutorial (mostly skin care and how to use creams, cleansers to maintain perfect skin) While we are there we will do a “clean up” waxing with instruction about eyebrows, makeup and when and how do you start wearing it. You daughter will think it’s all part of the growing up tutorial that Mothers and daughters share. Have fun with it.

My son is 7 and my daughter is 4 and they have slight unibrows. I use the little .99 cent brow shavers, I put baby oil in the middle of their brows beforehand and it glides gently, no pain or fuss. They literally tell me when it’s time to shave them, they notice.

I didn’t have one, but in 5th grade there was a girl that had a unibrow. In 6th grade she showed up with her brows waxed. The thing is no one made fun of her or anything but I’m sure she did it because it bothered her. I don’t think 11 is too young to wax that small patch.
Just take her in and have it waxed. It’s not that big of a deal.
No threading hurts and is gross with the bacteria in their mouths. They have razors for eye brows. A little electric one that she could use or you. Think that would be the safest until she can get them waxed
Waxing for the eyebrows, they’ll look better and if u find the right style and go every 5ish weeks. She’ll love it!
You can get her some of these to use their not as painful as waxing or tweezing, we got them for my daughter to use too when she was younger they have smaller ones at most family dollars. They’re pretty cheap to. Good luck

Amazon. I had my daughter’s eyebrows waxed for the first time when she was 7. It’s a kindness, really.
Girl… just approach that shi*… with a razor. You’re doing her a disservice worrying about her emotions like that, over a unibrow. I’m always up front and very blunt about things my children have going on, it’s always best, they’ll appreciate it in the long run.
If she’s the one deciding to do something about it because she feels uncomfortable, then being her in for threading or waxing. Waxing is a little uncomfortable but it’s done so fast and lasts awhile.
Nair has an at home waxing strip kit…. She’s hitting puberty, in my opinion, she isn’t too young. It would be better than shaving it.
