How to approach my daughter about her unibrow?

My daughter started threading the middle
Of hers at 9. No shame if it bothers them why force it.

My 12 year old has really hairy legs. I tell her there is hair that we need and hair that we don’t and I shave them for her and she spends hours loving on her smooth legs :joy:
I also have an eyebrow razor with safety wire across it so you don’t cut yourself for eyebrow tidy ups and due to her watching me do mine she allows me to do hers.

I wax my 9 year olds… She came home crying that kids where bullying her and I asked her if she wanted to. I used the supermarket cold strips and I told her it would hurt… she decided she wanted to. Kids are mean… she wears long tights because she’s self conscious about her legs and idk what to do I don’t want her to have to start shaving but I don’t think she could handle leg waxing yet… but she will literally wear tights in the middle of summer.

ive been shaving my legs, armpits, and unibrow myself since i was 10. i would just get a small eyebrow razor and teach her to do it herself

Threading or waxing! She isn’t too young. But take her to a professional, don’t do it yourself!

You can love your body and wax your brows. If she’s shaving she’s already changing her body (technically) so take her to get her brows done! You guys can go together and have like a girls day :slightly_smiling_face:

Sally Hansen wax strips are easy to use at home. I agree with what someone said above… one thin strip right down the middle. It’s a quick rip. Wipe the area with a cotton ball dipped in a little bit of alcohol after to close up pores and clean. :woman_shrugging:t2:

I’m confused? You can’t just say to her honey I’m taking you to have your eyebrows waxed?

Just shave it and legs

She’s not too young for waxing in my opinion! Ask her if she would like to or maybe even take her to a professional to get threading done. Make a mother daughter day out of it!

Ask her. Give her options - tweeze, wax, threading, leave it alone. Let her pick which she is most comfortable with.

I would walk up to the salon and get my brows waxed by myself at 11. No shame in it plus you get pampered at a salon and that feels nice.

Let her get waxed but not to tell everyone

They have little razor things for that specifically. I forget what they’re called. I have used them with my son since he was like 3.

Nair hair removal cream.

As a kid that grew up with a unibrow I would let her start the waxing. Or the little shaping razor someone suggested is good too. I remember all the comments made towards me about mine. Especially having thick eyebrows when it was cool to have super thin ones.

I took my daughter to get waxed bc she also had one. We did it right at the nail salon so we did nails then that. I think you could give her a choice :blush:

Take her to a licensed esthetician. They will know how best to handle it.

She shaves but you against waxing lol

My daughter is 9 and unfortunately got my eyebrows :woman_facepalming: We use the eyebrow shaping tool!

I dont make a big deal out of it and definitely don’t see it as a negative thing. Every female that I know does something or another to her eyebrows… nothing to be self conscious about!

Wax her unibrow…… my daughter loves getting hers done, no one picks on her anymore

Have it waxed. My son is 13 and he wanted his gone so I took him to have it waxed.

I have an 11 year old daughter, she’s been getting her eyebrows waxed since she was 9. She loves it. She asked if she could do it because she saw me getting it done. I let her. She had a unibrow and it bothered her. She loves going with mom to get our brows done.

If she has one I would let her get waxed! That’s if she wants to do it! :grinning:

Girls spa day! Ask her how she feels about it and if she wants to get her brows done. A professional could give her tips then on how to manage it and you get some bonding time in.

Shooot my childhood friend just straight up told me we’re going to fix this up and she tweezed them every few weeks for me lol. Threading works too!

You don’t want her to feel self conscious but you’re fully doing the same thing that the bullies are doing by thinking there’s something wrong with her that needs changing. What is important is what she wants. Ask her if she’s able to ignore the morons that don’t know better or if she wants to wax or tweeze. Those bullies are likely to notice that their words caused her to do something to change to please them and it might not stop them.

I’m sure she’s gonna want to get rid of it however u decide

Maybe make a day of
it! Go to the spa/nail salon and get your nails done eyebrows, facial :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: great memories with your daughter and she will feel more comfortable if you do those things with her. Both of you will leave feeling like a million bucks :heart:

There isn’t an age in NC my sis got a bad unibrow and upper lip hair at 10/11…my mom had her getting waxed by a professional to help her eyebrows look as natural as they can minus the unibrow and lip hair…she was self conscious and as she got older she had to go more often…every 3 weeks…once I got 14 I got to start getting my done…but a professional after talkin with your daughter and letting a professional at least wax once and get the shape line out and then maybe help teach your daughter to daily check for growth and how to pluck…if she is interested…put it as her daily hygiene routine…night or day…night time will give the skin time to recover and loose any inflammation/puffiness or redness that can come from plucking or whatever…dabbing some ointment or oil afterwards…if needed but I personally think someone that knows eyebrows and natural shapes should do one good waxing and shaping…a natural shape not some crazy eye arch or whatever so make sure whatever salon you do use can respect she is 11 and trying to feel comfortable not some legal model going clubbing…make sure they know and respect your request some will not hear respect or offer what they think is better or would be better…our hairdresser ( has been my mom’s for over 20 yrs) shows shape sheets and also advised on things…( like my sis had thick hair and always wanted it short and our hairdresser point blank said it won’t work or look like these pictures without work and product and daily maintenance that if she didn’t she would look like a mushroom…so our hair dresser listens and also used her knowledge of us and hair to help tell us it’ll work and be awesome or it won’t and why

They have lil eyebrow shavers if ur comfortable with that but honestly I think tweezers would be a great start see how she handles that and go from there

Take her to have it done of she wants.
Let her know that it’s ok to be unhappy with that. No matter how much ppl love themselves, it doesn’t mean they wanted to be made fun of. So, bring it up and let her decide what she wants to do.

Why is 11 too young for waxing? My mom let me start getting my brows waxed around 10/11 because she didn’t want me to mess them up tweezing them (still did lmao) just ask if she wants to try waxing or tweezing, give her the pros and cons of both, be open to listen to her about it

My son had one too. When he mentioned he didn’t like it I waxed it. We’ve been doing it since he was probably 8… I don’t mention it… He just tells me when it needs done and we do it!

So, shes too young for waxing a “wicked unibrow” but shes not too young to shave, with a razor, her armpits?.. Hm. And you dont want to teach her to pluck because of the pain?.. Whelp. Poor girl will just have to deal with the consequences of her mother’s choices.

In all seriousness, you should make a spa day and take her to get her brows waxed, and tbh, unpopular opinion, i would totally allow my daughter to get “good” brows, not just natural shaping. Nothing extra or crazy, but a nice arch & whatnot. When i was 11, my mom let me pluck, but my eyebrows were crazy and plucking took forever, & i started using a razor to shape them. Take the poor girl to get her eywbrows done done, and show her how to pluck the strays afterward, when they start to show up. She’s not too young, & loving yourself and the body you have has nothing to do with personal upkeep that every woman, girl, lady, etc learns and does.

Just go get it waxed waxing isn’t bad, Probably your easiest route.

Eyebrow razors. They’re small. And inexpensive and hard to hurt yourself with. Just about any retailer sells em.

You could have a spa day together and both get waxing of threading and do your nails. She you never know she may be the next Frida and embrace her brows.

Threading is much less painful.

Maybe try these? They work great and don’t hurt at all. As a grown woman, I hate using tweezers and these work great! Especially the small one, you can use it to shave between her eyebrows and you’re done in seconds! I got mine at Walmart💛

I have one , my son too but I’m grown :grin: take her to get hers arched with you see if she likes that

I am just straight up honest with my kids about stuff. They got a unibrow… tell them how to fix it so they don’t get made fun of at school.

Go get it threaded …make a fun day outa of it n get ur eyebrows done to…lunch girly day

One of my old foster parents took me to get my eyebrows threaded for the first time! She took me out of school during lunch, got some food and got my brows done. It was honestly an amazing experience. :heart: she played it like a little spa trip and it was wonderful. :heart:

I’ve never had it done, but others tell me it works well, many people use threading
Many spas do it

Lots of 11 year old girls round here wax their eyebrows. Some don’t need to but if they are bad get it done. It will make her feel better
