Julie Brantley Holy crap - no please don’t let her use a razor on her face!!!

Tweeze wax or thread yes - yea it can have pain that comes alongside it but that’s not Guna go away with age…not too young for wax as it’s still just hair removal plus waxing cleaner less ingrown hair and hair growth reducing…

I tweeze mine. When you first do it it can hurt but you get use to it. My eyebrows grow like crazy. Lol you could also do waxing or threading! Sorry she’s getting picked on. Kids are so cruel.

Wax as it will help slow the growth good luck :purple_heart:

She’s not too young for waxing on my opinion. It’s only hair.

When my daughter comes to me and says she wants to shave then I’ll take her for a wax. Better to start her waxing than shaving. More manageable regrowth and make it a mum/daughter date :raised_hands:

Wax!! My son was 3 when we waxed his for the first time!! He had dark eyebrows, and I just took off the extra hairs that were below his natural brow line!! I think it worked great, because he had perfectly arched eyebrows from then on, and the extra hairs didn’t come back over time!!

I was 10yo when I asked my mum to wax my eyebrows because I had a unibrow. Definitely take her to get it waxed.

Threading is the best I go to a mall they have booths I pay 10 dollars and it lasts me quite awhile. I didn’t have a mom who taught me anything I learned how to shave everything on my own thank you for being there for her.

Get an eyebrow archers and do it that way, tell her you’re gonna shape her eyebrows, and while doing that shave the unibrow, use lotion, or something on it.

Help her take care of it! When I was 12 I had one and tried to shave it off :joy::joy::joy: needless to say I spent a couple months with half of an eye brow I would have loved if someone showed me how to wax it or even pluck at that point :heart:

Just shave it. My daughter had early onset of puberty and had a thin unibrow. I use a small electric trimmer or eyebrow razor and clean it up for her. No big deal and it takes awhile to grow back. She’ll ask me when she wants it done.

Put alcohol after u wax lasts longer. I wud rather shave then pluck cuz waxing leaves the red mark on ur face. Threading hurts too.

Get some really good tweezers and let her see you tweeze yours a little explain not to tweeze too much just a bit at a time.
Maybe her being able to just tweeze a few here and there will be easier for her to handle and get used to using them plus there is more control. She can work on separating first then maybe shape after but don’t let her tweeze too too much strong brows are in.

If she’s being picked on then definitely help her with finding a comfortable way to remove the unwanted hairs. Unfortunately I’ve dealt with this issue and I really wish now I’d had someone to help. I was also picked on because of that.

Well have a girls day out nails or pedicure haircut or not and have brows done not too young if she needs it

Tell her you are planning a spa day for the two of you for some quality time. Make a list of spa treatments , such as pedi, mani , eyebrow wax, 30 minute sweedish massage , facial etc. Ask her what 3 she would like the most. As long as she knows it’s an option to have her eyebrows done , and she really wants them done ,she will choose too.

She’s not too young to wax. :purple_heart:

I would wax and it she’s super self conscious look into getting it lasered. IPL, Laser hair removal is a really good option to not have it come back

Go get it waxed at a salon.

nobody told me about my unibrow i just always knew it was there and would use scissors to tame it. i have painless facial hair removal battery operated stuff that i use on my unibrow as well as rest of my face since i hit adulthood

Get an electric brow trimmer and help her with it. Also talk about plucking and waxing ler her choose, if you can afford it take her to a professional to teach you and her how to wax properly.

Just take her to get it waxed :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Threading or waxing/brow shaping is totally age appropriate

I do brows for a living and I will tell you, my biggest pet peeve is when parents and grandparents bring kids in to get their brows done and they don’t want it done. All of it right now will freak her out probably, I tell people in this situation, talk to them or show them the process and you go get it done and they watch.

I had that problem when I was young so I plucked them. It hurt but it seemed to have worked. It stopped growing but I suppose my problem with it was not that bad I dunno but everytime I looked at a mirror I was always seeing it #storyofmylife. My son has that issue but I dunno how we had that conversation but he was telling me and we had both a good laugh…he didn’t mind hehehehe

Try and be honest with her without hurting her if that makes sense. Just be like… my darling, there’s meant to be 2 of those :woman_shrugging::joy: no I’m kidding but that’s what I did with my daughter… her eyebrows were thick and joined in the middle lol … I was just honest with her and told her that we need to pretty them up… she was 11 too. I know it seems young but is it really these days? Those babys parted like the red sea and they’ve been separated ever since lol

Didn’t read the comments, but would you consider bleaching an option? Make a Beauty night of it for the both of you. Do lotions and exfoliate your skin, etc…maybe even dye you hair? Bleach the unibrow if you can and avoid painful waxing and plucking and embarrassing shaving with the hair coming back quicker and thicker. Could even consider nair if that is still a thing…

Get rid of it so she doesn’t get made fun of. Kids are cruel

Take her to get it waxed. The wax specialist can help with getting her comfortable maintenance tweezing. Seriously. Don’t treat her like a kid, celebrate it as a rite of passage into womanhood! It already sucks having hair, curves, and zits her fellow classmates don’t. I already going through this with a twelve year old.

I plucked mine from a young age. And waxed. I hated it my unibrow! if she hates it just talk to her about it maybe discuss her options and ask her what she would like to do. Self care and self love is huge at this age!

I was taking her to get them waxed :woman_shrugging:t5:

Why would you body shame her
Let her fond out what she wants to do with her body it’s not for you to decide I only started shaving my chin because my mother picked on me I’m had to do it ever day I’m now 38 and just finished $2000 dollars worth of lazer hair removal which could have been avoided

You could go get your brows done, take her with you and then when your finished ask her is she wants hers doing too? Then she can see how it’s done and how they look finished

My daughter will be 11 this month and I told her straight up she needs to shave it. No filters in my household

What about that string method they use…my daughter does that and it dont hurt

Take her to get it waxed. I don’t know why parents make such a big deal about shaving and waxing. It’s just hair. And if waxing her eyebrows helps her feel better I wouldn’t care how old she is. It’s her body. Not being ugly or anything so sorry if it came off that way. But my grandmother raised me and I wasn’t allowed to shave my legs or anything. We have to wear shorts in P.E. And I was so self conscious about it. One day I just got ahold of a razor and did it and ended up getting grounded for it. Why I don’t know. It’s literally HAIR.

Long time esthetician here :raising_hand_woman:t3: I know shaving has been a controversial subject in the skin care world but derma-planing is one of the most popular treatments I have offered and it is essentially shaving (with a scalpel and also taking the first layer of skin off). You can find the at home version that’s (waaay safer and easier to use) in most beauty departments and there are a bunch of options on Amazon etc. I would suggest finding one that has a super short blade so that you can easily go between her brows :smiling_face:

She’s bringing it up so you don’t have to. I’d probably say something like I know XYZ bothers you so I would like to tell you the different options available to maintain eyebrows - then tell her - I’d follow up with a let me know if you have questions and when your ready to do one of them and we will go get it taken care of.

I pluck both my daughters, they both have the best dark thick eyebrows ever but that also means the unibrow is quite noticeable, I just pluck them when I do mine, after a few times they get used to it and it doesn’t really bother them :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Just use nair sensitive to do the middle bit doesn’t hurt one bit it’s a Cream
I get light hairs upper lip and use it and sometimes u for brows when time poor

If the hairs are dark have them lasered just between the brows. That is more permanent. Don’t mess with the actual brows other than with tweezers as they are able to create the best shape. For now you can tweeze the most out of place hairs. Threading is very sore! Don’t shave it whatever you do.

To each their own and many can save their judgment but I let my 7 year make the decision about her unibody on waxing or plucking! It obviously was an issue with her as well and this issue was brought to me multiple times so she made her big girl decision and got it waxed! She loved it and it’s something we continue with.

Wax! Quick and won’t need done nearly as often as tweezing.

Check out Threading. It is really a lot better for the skin, but it does take longer and that may be more painful. I would find out about waxing for sensitive skin…. I remember a European Green wax that was a lot better.

Personally I’d take her to go get her eyebrows professionally done and go take her to do a little mani pedi session if you can

I begged my mom to help me take care of my unibrow around 12. I think I was shaving it until she took me to get it waxed at 14. I would really consider getting it waxed or threaded. It is much lower maintenance, 1x a month vs daily plucking or dermaplaning.

Go pay to get themthreaded

Get it waxed. It’ll be over for her so much quicker.

I was around her age when my mom took us to wax our eyebrows. We got our fathers bushy ones but we loved them just needed clean every so often. Mine have thinned a bit now but I think just explain it doesn’t feel good but it will help her with her concerns. Girls are pretty darn resilient.

Assist her by showing her how you properly care for your eyebrows. You can use a shaper shaver to just rid the center out.

If you are skilled enough wax it. Give the kid a break and say “ I think this would look really good, how about we have a go? If she is happy and confident in the way she looks don’t say anything, let it go. If she feels good about herself say a prayer!!!

If she is old enough to be self conscious about it then she is ready for a mom/daughter spa day …hair,nails etc.Maybe a fun day for her 12th birthday :blush:
