11 years old she’s not even a teenager! I have two girls aged 10 and 11 and wouldn’t dream of putting them through waxing and salon treatments at that age- they’re very young girls and very impressionable. My daughter started her periods at 9 - she has underarm hair etc she reached puberty very early. She is comfortable in her body however it’s the teasers at school sadly. It’s the generation we live in now. She should love her body. Primary school age and suggestions of the hair removal blades and waxing
Why is she too young for wax but not tweezers? They do the same thing. Aside from that you’re already letting her remove body hair so just wax. It last longer
Take her and get them waxed!!! She is 11 and getting made fun of that’s not fair to her
Wax it. My daughter is 11. We have been waxing since age 9. If they are self conscious why wouldn’t you. ?
Quickest painless way is to buy a derma planing razor and use that
If she’s already aware of it and self conscious of it, that’s you’re opening to talk about it. And I’m sorry, but it’s not what YOU feel like you’re ready for and it’s not what YOU think she’s ready for. Ask her what she is ready for. If she isn’t ready to wax her eyebrows, then teach her how to shave the unibrow properly. She can shave it until she’s ready to wax it. Kids in middle school are mean!
This is what I use as an adult. Less than $20 at Walmart, has attachments and a light on it🤷♀️
I was 11 when I first got my brows waxed. I also had a veeery bad unibrow and my mom was worried about the same things.
Ugh. Kids are so mean. is she embarrassed or you’re embarrassed for her? (
I know you mentioned she gets picked on. But I did too. And it didn’t necessarily bother me. at that age, I was more “whatever…sticks and stones”. I kinda miss it actually )
If she’s brought it up and is insecure about it then that opens the floor for discussion and you should take her to get it done if it’s something she wants. Be sure to tell her the responsibility of it. You have to keep going back again and again and again. And it DOES hurt. Especially the middle part. Don’t lie to her about it and tell her it doesn’t. The pain gets better over time once you’ve been doing it a while. It doesn’t really hurt to me anymore. It just makes my eyes water really bad. (I started getting mine waxed around the same age and am 28 now) But do NOT shave it. Take her to get it waxed and be sure to tell them just the middle not arched.
I know it seems young, but if she’s being made fun of, it’s bothering her and it’s impacting her mental health then spend the 5 minutes it takes to get waxed. It’s the only solution that won’t have the hair growing back every other day, and it’s the less painful one.
Unfortunately We can’t control how our body hair grows, and it’s something young girls will eventually have to deal with. There shouldn’t be an age limit as long as it’s for the right reasons. I’d do what I needed to if it meant my daughter felt good in her skin. It’s just hair. As long as she is aware that it’s something you have to keep up with and ultimately she’s the one making the decision because it’s her body.
I think its important to take care of it if it bothers her… Id tweeze, do your eyebrows show her and then do her…
My daughter 8 and been waxing hers since she was 6
I took my daughter to the salon when she was 10 she had the same thing and she loved it we called our a mommy daughter date and she 28 and we still have our dates that is such a bonding with her.u can talk about anything and trust me it builds a strong relationship between u both .a trip to salon and then lunch .u should never feel u don’t know how to approach any situation with her .start by having dates with her .trust me u will love it .my daughter comes to me with everything now .it’s not just a date it’s a Bond and a life long friendship
Take her to a beuty palour , anthey wil do it right …Then everyne is happy …
Please don’t shave.
Waxing is best right now.
You can look into Laser hair removal.
Dermaplane it. I do with my 10 and 7 year old. I just say it matter of fact that we grow hair but sometimes need help styling it. I don’t make the shaving of it a big deal at all. They ask for it when they notice it now.
Please wax. Shaving will just cause it to be worse and harder to get it under control. My child had one too. First we waxed once every two months then the periods between have gotten longer and longer that they needed it waxed. Now like twice a year and they are good to go.
Eyebrow threading if you have access to it. Very natural! Lasts a few weeks and keeps a lovely shape
I haven’t tried it but I’ve seen eyebrow threading becoming a trend, it helps to shape the brows and there are many places that offer it due to its popularity.
Waxing isn’t that harsh. Much more gentle than threading in my opinion and over much quicker as well
When she feels its needed do it, my daughter was 10 and i dont regret letting her get it waxed, quick and easy,shes your daughter, u dont need anyones input actually!!!
if you don’t think she would like to wax it, then tweeze them. Plain & simple. Tell her everyone tweezes their eyebrows, some more than other, And just maybe she will like how it looks
Got mine waxed at 11 way easier than my sisters holding my down to pluck them.
My son at the same age had a really think unibrow. It was so bad you could not tell where his actually eyebrows started or ended… I took him and had it waxed. Here we are 6 years later and he now makes his own appointments to have it waxed. Honestly, what is the big deal in having it done?
Kids are jerks.
I wouldn’t tweeze… because that’s little tiny pains over and over… I’d just bring her to get them shaped… waxed. (Nothing too extreme… just the unibrow and shape the edges if need be). and I know that’s extreme…but at least usually it’s fast and not one little hair at a time.
I plan on doing tweezers with mine - prolly about 13 I’ll take her for a brow wax so she can experience it and get the shaping where she wants it and then be able to tweeze as they come back.
While there are at home wax strips I personally wouldn’t subject someone so young to such an uncomfortable and inconsistent hack, (she’ll get there by HS with her friends)
I get my daughters unibrow waxed.
If you go get your eyebrows waxed take your daughter. Make it into like a spa day.
Anyone else find it terrible that 15 adults found this post funny??? (They must be the parents of the bullies)
My daughter does threading. She doesn’t tolerate waxing
Have you thought about threading?
I would say use a razor, they make special razors for the eyebrows. You can buy them on amazon and prob find them at Walmart too. As for approaching her about it just be straight forward. You said she is already self conscious about it so ask her what she thinks about shaving/shaping her brows . She will probably be relieved that you want to help esp if she already worries about the way it looks
My daughter asked to try waxing at 10 after seeing me have it done. She was also getting a pretty wicked unibrow and was self conscious so I let her. She handled it like a champ
11 years old and might freak out over tweezers? What? If she’s too young to pluck she’s too young to take care of that unibrow. Threading and waxing both hurt so much worse.
Bring her to salon have her brows done .most young girls would love this .easy peazzee
My sister plucked my unibrow for my 4th grade school pictures you should just ask her what she wants to do with HER body
Talk to her and ask how she feels about it. Her opinion is the only one that matters. If she doesn’t like it, let her know that there are options. I think I started getting my eyebrows waxed around 11 or 12. You can also thread it.
If she’s got a unibrow it’s not to young to wax. Take her to get a wax. She’ll mess up her brows with the tweezers.
My son had one. I simply said… hey bro, you got a wicked uni going on come here… let’s deal with this… waxed it and that’s what we do lol. Don’t make it weird.
I would take her to get them threaded.
Get her one like this it doesn’t hurt.
Just take her to an esthetician and get her brows waxed. It’s no big deal
Right when I went to 6th grade I started waxing my eyebrows my mom asked me if that’s what I wanted I said yes
I started waxing at 10, she’ll be fine
Make it a fun experience get her eyebrows waxed and add a manicure and do the same for you. Make it a girls day.
Go get it done professionally with wax. It’s not bad at all.
Bring her to have it waxed… she will probably handle it better than you think…
Take her for a spa day…let them professionally wax
Tske her and get it waxed
Make it a girls day nails toes wax. Make it a once a month girls day that is what me n my mom did
She is absolutely not too young to get it waxed. Take her
I got my brows waxed at 11. Take her to a pro and let the pros do it. It’s no big deal honestly.
Take her to the get the wax…
It’s just like a haircut, take her to get them threaded.
Get s personal groomer and shave it off. My daughter won’t let me wax hers so she just uses the small clippers for it.
She will be just fine with a wax, just be open about it, explain ppl wax their eyebrows I have my own wax pot I do mine and my husbands
They make tiny little face shavers that work great I got some at the dollar store
Of all the things that tweens go through this could be one of the easiest ones to tackle. Ask her. That’s it-simple. Give her the options. Wax, shave, pluck, professional or without a professional, spa day with a hair cut etc show her YouTube videos of each choice …she will give you an answer. Boom.
Eye brow treading if you don’t want to wax, but honestly if she’s that uncomfortable with stop calling it a unibrow
Shave it w a razor until she’s comfortable to have it tweezed. Honostly, you should just let her get it waxed… its less painful than tweezing.
Don’t shave it. It will come back in thicker than it is now. Tell her the options & let her choose.
Take her to get them done like a mom and daughter day you get yours done too so she can see it’s not that bad
Give her the choice. You said she’s self conscious about it, tell her that’s okay and here her options on what to do about it waxx, shave, pluck and let her choose.
My 11 year old son gets me to wax his. Beauty is pain
Wax it. Take her to a professional let her pick her new look.
Take her for a girls day to a spa and have it waxed!
First ask her how she feels about it .just because it bothers you don’t mean it bothers her . second take her to a professional just don’t " shave it " .they might at first wax it than tweezers to maintain
Wax for sure. Quick and simple.
I’d tell her the options she has and let get chose. I’d also let her know that she can try all of them if she wants and then decide.
My daughter is 8 with the same issue instead of waxing it because she’s scared I got an eyebrow razor and just take off the unibrow part
Salon day!!! Get her brows done!! It’s such a fun thing to do with your daughter
I think waxing will the the quicker option and probably last longer, I’d tell her the choices and let her choose herself
I would ask her what she is most comfortable with
Take her somewhere and get them waxed! She’s not too young, especially if she’s shaving, and it’s quick and easy. I started getting a unibrow in 4th grade and I went to my mom asking what I can do to fix it. She showed me how to tweeze, and finally let me wax when I was 11. I’ve waxed my eyebrows ever since! They also have eyebrow razors that would work as well.
My almost 11 yr old asked for hers to be waxed… and it wasn’t extremely noticeable, it just bothered her. Tweezing is more painful in my opinion.
I started waxing about that age, I also grew up in a beauty shop though. Ask her how she feels about it momma and take it from there.
Just take her to get them.waxed and shaped then use tweezers to keep up with maintenance. You can use bonjela to numb
Omg thank you for asking this!!! My youngest is 10 and has a wicked unibrow and now I don’t feel weird.for wanting to help her. She starts middle school next year and I know kids just get meaner.
Go get that girl a wax! What are you even questioning!!!
Wax. She will have 100x more confidence
There are electric eyebrow trimmers. Wax irritates my skin and i hate thr pain of tweezing. So i use an electric eyebrow trimmer
You can’t enforce loving the body she has while she’s being bullied for natural hair. Not your fault, but it’s sad how cruel that is. A beard and moustache trimmer is fast, effective and painless.
Better to get her waxed then have her teased for a unibrow kids can be cruel.
Highlights and wax day… while she is waiting on the highlights to set, they can wax
Wax those brows she is not to young if shes shaving her arm pits already…
I would take her to a salon where they can wax and shape them. She’s not too young. It’s less painful than tweezers.
My husbsnd hsd s huge one when I met him I asked him if I could shave it lol our oldest inherited snd asked me to fix it he’s 7 he hates it I use thst lol hair removal thing I think domrbodu made fun of it Csuse I’ve never said s word they hsve great brows tho lol
Brow razors, pain free and VERY hard to cut yourself with.
Wax it dude it’s over and done with
My daughters 11th birthday is next week. I’m taking her to the salon to get her eyebrows waxed as well as, what she calls, her mustache. Kids at school are mean. She says she’s happy that she has to wear a mask at school so kids don’t make fun of her.
Take her to get it waxed. It’s not that serious. Especially if she’s already shaving. My daughter had the same thing. If you wait too long she will start shaving or plucking it herself and mess them up. A salon can do it every couple weeks and she will feel much better
I would take her get get threaded. Fast, no unsanitary wax and it lasts much longer. I don’t think it hurts as much as waxing. I personally think it doesn’t hurt at all.
She’s not too young to wax. Just do it.
My mom made a “date” out of the first time I got my eyebrows waxed. I was 11 and asked for it for months before she caved. We went out to dinner first then shopping after. It was an amazing time and one memory I will never forget. It was the first time I felt like my mom saw me as a preteen and not her baby. I would let her wax it. My niece had a really bad unibrow and she ended up completely shaving her eyebrows off when she was 9 because she was getting bullied.
Waxing it will help. I went through the same thing as a kid. I ended up trying to shave it since my mom wouldn’t let me wax. Took a chunk of my eye brow off. Make a spa day out of it.
Why would she be too young to wax? It doesn’t impact her hormones. I don’t get that.
I’d say wax and get it done at a salon lol I wasn’t much older when I waxed off half my eyebrow after thinking I could do it myself!
Also could try brown razors, they’re pretty safe to use and easy!
I would take her to the salon so they can shape and wax her brows give her confidence:D
Take her to a salon. Start teachin her to take care of herself n’ the best places to go. Make it a girls day, she will love it
Girl take that baby to get her eyebrows waxed she’s not too young
Wax it. Trust me, it’s not too young. It won’t do any damage. Only boost her self confidence, which is so important at this age.
