I think that’s up to you. But I’ve been taking my niece with me to get her eyebrows waxed since she was 7. We got every two weeks, and in between I trim them at home.

I let my 12 year take care of all the feminine issues. I was teased horribly because my mom never taught me anything like that so I refuse for my kids to go through that. If it makes her feel better, show her how to do it it herself.

You can try those electric razor’s at stores first and please help her. I was 10 or so and was self conscious about my eyebrows and ended up shaving half of it off my accident. I’m also pretty sure I was 12/13 when I first got my eyebrows waxed. She’s almost a pre-teen, show her how to start taking care of hair if she wants too, or she’ll do it one way or another:joy:

I would make a mommy daughter day and get them done… my mom did it with me when I was about 12!
Definitely get it taken care of asap.
I started getting my eyebrows done around that age. If she’s asking I’d go ahead and get it done.
So let her… Why do you need our permission to make your daughter feel better about herself? Build her self confidence.

I started getting waxed at 10…girls at that age are nasty.
I had the same issue when I was a girl. Kids teased me and I hated it but my mom wouldn’t let me do anything about it. Now my daughter is 12 and has the same problem so I wax her whenever she asks. I don’t want her to endure what I did. We use the Sally Hansen wax strips.

Leave the lip alone for sure. Starting that at such a young age is just gonna be a pain in the ass for her the rest of her life. I’m 30 and I still barely fool with mine. I pluck a dark or course hair now and then, but I’m leaving it alone until I absolutely have to start dealing with it. 12 is way too young to remove that hair. Bleach it if she has to do something.
But the eyebrows being tamed I get. However, I would wax them. It hurts less than plucking and someone else plucking them hurts even worse than doing it yourself, which she is not ready for.
But most importantly, this is an important opportunity to teach that self worth does not come from looks. That only she can decide her beauty and confidence. And that it is her body and she is allowed to make the choices for it, but they need to be informed decisions and she needs to take time to think before acting.
I’d show her how to take care of it no need for her to be embarrassed just reassure her that this is a forever thing now

You need to let her get them waxed. Don’t let her do it herself.
The hair will stay away
Longer with waxing and shaving will only make it come back sooner. Because if she messes up and shaved half of her eyebrow off or plucks too much she’s going to get made fun of for that.
I got my eyebrows done at 12.

Do not let her shave her face!!
I started plucking my eyebrows at 12, I hated it but my sisters told me beauty is pain lol
For my upper lip my mom started me on facial bleach. I still use it til this day. I feel like once they start waxing that upper lip, it’s a point of no return. But I definitely encourage mama to explore options with their daughter bc entering those teenage years can really have an effect on their self esteem.
And it’s better for mama to be involved and figure it out together with the daughter so that the daughter doesn’t figure out other methods on her own and end up doing something like shaving off her eyebrows (had a friend who did it, true story )
My first time was for my senior prom
When I was younger and just getting into that, my mom would have me lay my head on her lap and she’d pluck my eyebrows for me 
It was sort of a bonding experience!
I would not shave her upper lip unless you want her to get a mustache like a man. You need to either wax it or bleach it.

Show her how to take care of them
Yes let her do it, show her how. Maybe you can take her to get them all waxed at a salon, make it a mommy daughter day. She’s almost a teenager and if she’s already feeling self conscious if say let her groom herself. It’s not like she’s putting on tons of makeup or wants to dress innapropriate she just wants to do a little maintenance.

Get her brows done. It’s something she will do forever. And it’s sooooo not a big deal! She will get to the tweezers if you dont. Just do it. She will be fine. Mine was 12 when I let her do it and she was so incredibly happy and felt so pretty. DO NOT LET HER SHAVE HER UPPER LIP! YOU WILL REGRET IT! Wax wax wax!
Of she’s self conscious of it, she’s old enough to have something done about it. Help her out, Momma!! 
My girls are 12 they are going through the same.
My biggest suggestion if you’re going to let her pluck her eyebrows is to make sure you both study the safe practice, shaping to suit the facial structure and other features, and how to avoid over-plucking. I started plucking at 16 and now I have almost no eyebrows left due to over-plucking over the last 15 years. As for the mustache, if the concern is that it’s noticeable but neither of you wants to deal with the daily routine of shaving or the pain of waxing, consider bleaching the upper lip. The maintenance of this is far more affordable, doesn’t have to be done daily.

This is insane to me. I try really hard not to be judgemental, but why would you make your daughter continue to be subjected to mean kids, for something that is so simple to fix? If she’s old enough to shave her legs, she’s old enough to take care of the rest of her body hair. To each their own, but waxing is definitely the simplest way to take care of this.

Please don’t let her shave her face let her try to go get waxed, unless she’s the one who doesn’t want to do it. I was 11 when I started, and it gave me so much more confidence! Now I have a wax kit at home I do it myself.
Yeah no. DO NOT shave your daughters facial hair unless you want it to grow in thicker and further embarrass her. Nair that shit
My mom let me at 12 depends on the hair
Do threading, no shave or wax PLEASE

Take her to get it waxed and get her brows done
Let’s be realistic, if she’s already needing these things done then it’s more than likely always going to be an issue. Take her to get waxed and teach her how to properly maintain it.

I would teach her how to take care of them. She isn’t asking to wear makeup. I wish I would have been taught about that age. I have some wild eyebrows if I leave them to it lol. I would suggest waxing.
Get them waxed… simple. It take seconds
No way. Let her do it and feel pretty!
Peroxide and sun will lighten the hair above her lip. Waxing is better than shaving.
Wax or pluck I reckon.
I didn’t have my eyebrows done until I was 17 because my hair, even though natural Auburn, would show up blonde first and only around then was it showing more.
Shaving is eh to me only cause I’m shit at shaving my face.
Just show her how to properly take care of her body
Self confidence is priceless
Kids are mean AND adults are worse when she’s older. I have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome…no one gives a good crap, they just see what comes to the eye and it’s it feels good to them to hurt you. It hurts. If she’s old enough to feel pressured about it at this time, it’s building or tearing down her self confidence right now. Be the builder with her. It’s not like small boobs or a facelift…help her with the hair.
Let her do it. I wax my son’s unibrow he is 12. I wax 11 and 12yr old all the time.
Waxing is less painful then threading

If she needs this done at her age there is NO problem. Although i wouldn’t advise you for her to shave her upper lip. It will just make it alot worse than it already is.
Show her how to do it your way or she will probably do it without you the wrong way. My mom didn’t let me shave my legs when I was 12 so I did it myself without shaving cream because I didn’t know any better 
Show her how to take care of it now. Kids can be cruel and its such an easy thing to sort out that theres no need for it to get as far as bullying etc. Or she may just have a go without help and end up hurting herself with a razor etc. Its not such a big step really and could save her a lot of heartache.

My mom was super strict about not shaving, plucking and waxing. I was self consciousness guys would tease me about it so I took care of it behind her back. I say you let her… use it as an opportunity to bond and for her to feel confident in coming to you when she’s having issues. I know you said no waxing but that’d be my preferred method or maybe bleaching the upper lip hair.

Maybe have her choose one she wants to “fix” and just focus on that instead of both lip and brows? If it is something she is feeling self conscious about and others are bringing it up to her I say no better time than now. Maybe talk with her the importance of wanting to do things for yourself and not because someone/others always have something to say. Maybe find some celebrities or models that have her same look and then let her decide if that is still something she would like to do. But definitely listen to her concerns and help her vs her just handling it on her own.
Do not shave her face! It will grow back thicker and darker. Waxing or threading is best bet

Okay, so I kinda dealt with this at her age… I would honestly just trim them for her and show her how to do the upkeep!
I can remember I was in a community college and an older lady just taking classes cause she had nothing better to do was my savior. I also had dark unibrow and lip hair. I didn’t have anyone growing up to “help” in those areas. She said honey I’m taking you to my saloon to get that taken care of. I am forever grateful. So do it. Give her that confidence she is looking for. It might be insignificant to you right now but it’ll mean the world to her because you listened.

Absolutely take her and get it waxed… my daughter went through puberty before her peers and her eyebrows were a source of bullying. She is part Italian and had basically a unibrow… the first day she mentioned the bullying I asked her if she wanted to go and have them shaped up and she said yes. She was 9! Now my baby has some fierce eyebrows and she gets compliments because of how thick full and maintained they are.

It’s just hair. No one has problems getting their kids’ hair trimmed but are afraid to remove facial and body hair? Why? As long as you are safe and aren’t taking her to get waxed then I don’t see an issue with it. 
She’s almost a teenager. I started shaving my legs when I was still in elementary school (with the guidance and supervision of my mom). I was sooo hairy and self conscious.
I would take her to get it waxed. Shaving that area will cause more problems in the long run.
Have a girls day! Show her the right way to do things. It’s only hair. I have hairy arms and was teased bc of it
I say do it but do not shave or pluck that will only 1 make the hair grow thicker once shaved and 2 I cant even pluck my eyebrows it’s to painful wax is much easier and it’s not expensive at all 1 snatch and problem solved
I would most definitely not have my daughter shaving her upper lip. It makes it grow back thicker and more coarse, plus do you want her rocking razor burn on her upper lip? Why are you against her waxing? It takes a couple minutes and doesn’t have near the amount of upkeep. If you start her shaving she will have to do it more and more til it’s every single day.
My daughter asks me to get rid of the hair for her between the brows, and then I clean up her brows a little for her. She is 13 now and gas been shaving since she was 12. Kids teased her. I have her nair her mustache. Way better then tweezing or waxing. I use one of those single blade face razors from amazon to clean her brows. My 13 year old daughter.
Omg don’t ever shave your upper lip it will be a million times worse.
My dtr is 12 and she’s had to wax eyebrows and shave legs/arms. Once they do it they find out how much up keep it all is ! And all the hype wears off then you’ll hv to remind them:rofl:
I would take her to a professional to get it taken care of. Please please don’t shave her lip, it always looks worse when it starts to grow back out and honestly she’ll have to do it more often. Let her get wax one time. If she absolutely hates it, she doesn’t have to do it again. I don’t think 12 is too young.
My daughter is 11 and I let her get her eyebrows done.
Now since she has asked
There is nothing wrong with waxing it. Id rather get my daughters upper lip waxed then have her made fun of.
Do not shave it! Take her to get them professionally done. From personal experience with both… my mom wouldn’t let me. I went behind her back and tweezed my eyebrows. Biggest mistake. Get her eyebrows threaded. And lip waxed.
Totally your call as her mom, but I would let her. I would even allow waxing. If I’m going to allow it, I’d go the best and most efficient way. Shaving is not it. That age is so hard as it is, and being self conscious makes it ten times harder. Yall could go together and make it a girls day.

If ur not happy about waxing her lip maybe have it threaded or veet cream I wouldn’t agree with shaving it at any stage as the hair comes back darker n coarser
DO NOT have her shave her lip!! Help her pluck her eyebrows or take her to someone professional to wax them
Highschool can be hard and life-altering. If people around her at school have brought it up to her it means that its possibly being talked about with others too… I think its a good age to start and to give her a good sense of self-confidence and prevent forms of bullying that she might receive because of it. Let’s be honest, young girls can be harsh to each other.
