How to approach my daughter about her unibrow?

Get your brows waxed together

2 Likes

My teenage sons inherited their dad’s super full & unruly if not seen to eyebrows. By puberty they both had a unibrow coming in. I tweezed literally one hair and well, let’s just say they took it “like a man” lol and there was no way either would let me do it again. I picked these up at the drug store and they both use them regularly! Doesn’t pinch or hurt and I’ve seen them even using it to lengthen how long they can go before breaking out a razor and shaving their would be mustache. https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/finishing-touch-flawless-facial-hair-remover/ID=prod6401167-product?ext=gooPersonal+Care+-+SSCPersonal+Care___local&gclsrc=aw.ds&gbraid=0AAAAAD7MwhSgrT8DvmqErF7r--EsKx0TZ&gclid=Cj0KCQiAuvOPBhDXARIsAKzLQ8HteVRCididg-TU-uWnwKAH5KEg9gv6liRkRvWasdU6EVrh8x4XMmsaAk-iEALw_wcB

My daughter used tweezers or eye brow razors. You can get them any where really. She did get them waxed and even tried the threading. I think waxing or threading is the way to go honestly.

I would just be like “hey we have to take care of this girl” :face_with_hand_over_mouth: and show her pics of girls perfectly shaped eyebrows and explain a lot of women pay for perfect eyebrows (micro blading, tattooing etc). She probably already has them they just need to be cleaned up. :smiling_face:

We did hair removal cream for the face I get it at Sally’s.

I’ve had my eyebrows waxed since I was around that age. I had some werewolf eyebrows as a kid, so I’d definitely recommend wax. It’s quick and effective.

Take her to that beauty shop and have them do it I hope you’re talking about her eyebrows

Shave it using a dermablade. Tell her about it, it’s not like you’re making fun of her. You’re her mother and it’s your job to be the first to make her aware of these things and how to take care of them if she chooses too. I wouldn’t make her, but I would definitely let her in on the little tricks to care for herself as a young woman. My daughter also had a unibrow and I begged her for 6 months to let me get rid of it. She’s perfect and she’s beautiful and the unibrow was just in the way. Be open with her, and don’t keep her in the dark about things. There will always be people her age that bring them to light. Trust me when I say, it hurts a lot less for her to hear them from you.

Buy this and put it on for 3 minutes…wipe away and whooolaaaa! Gone for a week or so. No pain and super simple. Good luck!

Just make you both a eyebrow waxing appointment! Problem solved.

She is beautifully and wonderfully made in the image of God, people are always going to make fun and bully, if its not about a unibrow its gonna be about something else, the way you dress, change that they might make fun of your personality, someone is always gonna find something to say or something to make fun of you about, who cares what they think? They’re just people, strangers maybe.

My daughter is 9 & she just got her armpits waxed for the first time & she didn’t cry she was totally cool with it! The place where I have been getting my eyebrows waxed for years is where we went the lady their told me don’t shave her armpits bc if you wax once a month then In a 3-4 years her armpit hairs will come in more like a peach fuzz so this is what we are doing!

help her to wax them

Wax but get it done professionally by a hairstylist who does it. You don’t want any mistakes.

It doesn’t matter what others think, if you feel she’s too young for waxing that’s your valid choice.

My opinion is waxing is better than shaving at this age. My daughter sounds very similar to yours. I started getting her waxed (eyebrows and legs) age 10. She was getting picked on too, and was self conscious.
The beautician we see said that with regular waxing, her leg hairs will thin out in a couple of years.

As for how to approach the subject…
Do you do your eyebrows? (Don’t tell me, answer it for/to yourself). Maybe ask her if she’d like you to shape her eyebrows. Or offer a facial and include doing eyebrows. So it’s not a big deal and not the sole focus. You could wax her eyebrows yourself. Or take her to a beautician for the first wax (or first few).
Maybe approach it like this - that she’s growing up and self care is important and she’s responsible for herself/ making her own choices.
Gently ask if she wants to try it and if she doesn’t like it, it will always grow back.

I’m not trying to say your daughter SHOULD get waxed. That is completely up to you and her. Be ‘au natural’ forever, it’s nobody else’s business.
However, I do know what it’s like to have a self conscious daughter who gets picked on for having dark hair.

Eyebrow threading is a great option but in my opinion more painful than wax. I started waxing my brows at 11. It’s safe as long as it’s done by a professional. Make it a girls day. Get yours done too! She’ll gain a lot of confidence and just be honest with her mama. You’ve got this!

If she isn’t feeling self conscious about them & isn’t getting teased about them by friends etc then I would just leave them be for now. Let her know that hers look fine & she’s beautiful just as she is. When she’s ready for them to get done I’m sure she will come to you & tell you herself :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:

Get a flawless eyebrows pen. It works really well and just go between her eyes for now. If that makes her feel better than you don’t have to worry about the pain she’ll endure with waxing, threading, tweezing, etc. I wouldn’t do anything else if she’s hitting puberty it could break her out.

Waxing is by far the least painful option for dealing with a unibrow.

European Wax center offers a free brow wax for first time clients, if you have one in your area.

Go find a licensed esthetician who is certified in sugaring. I’m a sugarist. Instead of using hot wax, we use a sugar paste to remove the hair. It’s gentle and effective. Discuss with them that you just want the area cleaned up.

I use the brow razors with my daughters and only clean up the unibrow they are 11 :heart:

If I were you I’d take her to ulta beauty and get them done. It’s $30 but every ulta I’ve been to does a great job! They are all Esthetician!!

So, what my mom did was take me to get my nails done, and while we were there they asked if my mom wanted to wax anything. She got hers done and asked if I wanted to as well. Wanting to be just like mom and be a big girl, I did it! I haven’t had to do much to my brows ever since.

Threading is a great option, I’ve had that done and it was super painless. I feel like waxing just irritates the skin. I am a cosmetologist which is why I say that… I personally use the flawless razor thing I forget the name but it’s like a mini electric razor made specifically for brows/lips. It’s so easy, no pain at all and easy on the skin!

I will have to go through this with my daughter she has always had a unibrow and thick hair and she’s only 7. Good luck mama do what you think is best for her

Just wax its not a big deal at all. Theres more danger shaving.

Maybe take her for a spa day make it special. Nails brows, you both get them done. I would suggest threading, it’s a bit more gentle.

Go and get the unibrow waxed, together, even if you don’t have one. Throw in a pedicure and other spa services to make it a special, fun day. :heart:

Judge if u wish, but I’ve always just shaved mine :woman_shrugging: shape my eye brows this way too…since I was very young (10) I also wear glasses and have alot of Italian in me so my hair grows quick & rough so tweezing was never really an option for me since I get stumble so quickly (cant pluck stubble)…& no its not bc of shaving bc it happens regardless of I wax,use Nair or pluck… as the years went on, I’ve had to do it alot less

Mommy and me day. And when you go for the brows ask her if she would like to do hers… that way she doesnt feel embarrassed or pressured.

I use to go get my sons unibrow waxed around that age. Now that he’s old enough to shave his face he just shaves it now

Go together for a girls day to a salon get your hair done and see what they do to them? Then continue the idea they give for future brow care. The experience together will be loving and great for yous too

If she’s self-conscious about it, ask HER what SHE wants to do about it… give advice, tell her different options, how/what women do and let HER decide… Confidence is gained by self love & independence :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Shes 11. There is nothing wrong with an eyebrow wax, and who knows? It may boost her self-esteem levels. And mom and daughter time?!!! Who wouldn’t want that? MY dad didn’t let me shave until 7th grade. And for 5th and 6th grade, I was bullied alot.

Let her come to you about it, YOU shouldn’t approach HER about her perfectly natural and beautiful appearance. If/when she comes to you, explain all the options and allow her to decide.

We shouldn’t teach them to change things about themselves because other people make fun of it, teach her to love herself reguardless of other people’s thoughts. :woman_shrugging:t3:

At that age my older cousin tweezed mine on vacation lol I didn’t even know I had a unibrow bc nobody told me what it was, I just knew I had “werewolf” eyebrows😅 after that my aunt and cousin would take me to get it waxed, it built my confidence and I felt cool going to a salon and getting it done. Be gentle about it but it should be fine👍

I waxed my daughters at 9 she begged me after watching me wax my eye brows. We did it occasionally for about 2 years and it hasn’t grown back like it was. It’s really not that bad if you know what you’re doing or go to someone who does.

Time to talk about hair care. The best thing to do is pluck. Dont wax or shave. Waxing and shaving causes hair follicules to grow vack in faster.
Go take her shopping at Walmart down the beauty aisle she is approaching puberty. Good luck

Just talk to her about it and ask if she is interested in learning about waxing, electrolysis, or laser. If she says yes, then you can explain to her what that entails. Honestly, if you can afford it, I’d just go with laser hair removal and be done with it.

Not too young for tweezing. Do yours infront of her. Guide her. She has 2 choices. Be freaked out or be picked on

Have a mother/daughter Spa day. Get a facial and wax and maybe a pedicure :two_hearts:

I was about 9 when I started getting mine waxed. And about 15 when I started tweezing. Waxing hurts much less tbh and takes almost no time at all if you’re just doing the middle part

Take her to a Salon have a girls day out

Let her live her life with out judgment from you I am down with the unibrow on a 10 year old and a 30 year old

I pluck my 11yr olds

Tweezers, waxing, or hair removal

Teach her to tweez! Lol #Besutyispain! :laughing::laughing::clap::clap:

Take her to get it threaded… Bout as painful as plucking but not as grown feeling or intimidating as waxing.

My daughter just turned 11 in December and we started waxing her brows and upper lip in the summer. She also had a bad unibrow growing in and thick brows in general which she gets from her dad, I waited until she brought it up and then we started waxing

I was 12 when my mum first took me to get my eyebrows threaded, honestly it’s such a confidence booster for young girls having these sorts of things done as it is us adults. It’s time to pull the bandage off she’s not getting any younger try a beautician that way you know a good job will be done.

Take a shaver and line it up right up the middle between her 2 brows … and scrape OR ask a beautician to trim it once then let your daughter tweeze it from that point on to maintain it.
Minimize it when talking abut it IF you even have to talk about it; it will only make it worse the more you discuss it -

Electrolysis. It will remove it permanently. They sell a device that you can use at home. It used to cost $$$$! to have this done. Now it’s just a few hundred. This way shaving a 5 o’clock forehead shadow won’t be a daily routine for the next 70 years for her.

Hey it works for Anthony Davis!! But he is a guy so I would wax!! My sis had to wax my nieces lip for the first time today (she is 11) because boys at school noticed and started teasing her…. I would ask her if she is comfortable or what she would want to do

Take her on a Mummy daughter facial treatment date.
A facial and eyebrow threading… though waxing is less painful :woman_shrugging:

Make it about time spent with you. That way she won’t feel insecure about it

I’ve been fixing my son’s since Kindergarten. Kids are cruel!!

Wal-Mart, I use this on my 12 year olds eye brows, I use a small paint brush to apply, leave on for 8-10 minutes wipe hair off with a hot washcloth or paper towel, pluck what I may have missed.

Just be a mom to your daughter and show her how to do it and make it like a makeover I think she would like that. Next comes her period then she might appreciate it more each time something changes in her body. The Big one is sex you’ll be there and tell her what you think it’s best for her.

If you think waxing is too young, go for the razor. But you could make a spa day out of waxing, nails painted and a wax. Ask her if she wants to do it and if she’s nervous go first and show her it doesn’t hurt, if she doesn’t want to, then don’t push her until she’s ready. She’ll do it when she’s ready
