What age daughters getting eye brows don't?? Just seen fb post.. Age 11 due to bullies..

[Springisspringing2]

Just wonder as my dd doesn't shave legs nor mentions brows etc.. She's nearly 14.

Mine is also 14 and DGAF about shaving legs etc...her friends are all the same. Its peer pressure.

My dd (now 14) started getting her brows done at 12 (year 7) she doesn't shave her legs much as she prefers tights at school but will when it's summer and she's out meeting friends.

When they want to. It’s their body hair.

When they want too...

Oh I thought there was a special Penn somewhere with teen Sheering going on, forced..

Eh?

Do you mean at a brow bar? DD is 14 and does her own brows. And legs / underarms. I'd pay for her bikini line to be done by an expert if she wanted that doing for swimming, but she's not asked yet.

Dd first got her brows done at 11 and has had them waxed a few times (I think she plucks stray hairs herself now) . She shaves her legs and pits intermittently- she's 17

???

Get yourself a coffee and try again?

Mine is 16 and doesn’t have her brows done - she just paints more on every day.
No to any shaving.

It is personal choice, but seems a bit sad to be arsed with it by 11.

In my day it was perms and eyeliner - lots of us just looked at them like and went our own way.

If your DD isn't bothered I think that's positive really.

Do you mean you’ve seen a facebook post where an 11 year old was being bullied due to her eyebrows?

Bullies will bully whatever you do. If this kid is being bullied for her eyebrows, you can bet if she gets them done they will bully her for that. Or for something else.

It is the bullies that need to change, not the bullied.

My DD 19 was really into make up and brows by age 14. My DD 13 shaves her legs when she can 'be bothered' but hasn't touched her eyebrows yet and doesn't do make up

My ds is in year 6 and some girls in his year have theirs done and dyed hair. I had my hair permed at 11 and shaved my legs around then.

Might sound old fashioned (and just plain wrong!), but we have all known that person (male or female) whose brows have taken over their face and it is all you can look at. So I would say if that is the case here they need a tidy. That is not to say that a perfectly neat pair of natural brows need making into slugs. One is grooming the other is unattractive contrivance.

When they notice or are bothered.
One colleague had her dds brows done at a far younger age than 11 cos she was mono brow and the dd was upset.

If your dd hasn't mentioned it then she's not interested in it. Same as she's not interested in other things she's never asked about.

My dd is yr8, 12. I shaved her legs and armpits about 4/5 months ago. This came about after an overheard convo and off the back of it, I asked her if she wanted to me to do them for her and she did. I have since asked her a couple of times if she wants me to do them again and she has been very non committal... so I haven’t pushed it. She hates pain so I did the legs with hair clippers rather than shaving her btw.

As for eyebrows, she plucked them herself a couple of months ago, decided it was a bit much and is now filling them in with a fine eyebrow pen whilst waiting for them to grow back. She also had a balayage when she had just started secondary, which is slowly growing out.

You could say to your dd if she is interested in any personal grooming or needs any advice, you’re there for her. Something innocuous that your dd doesn’t feel pressured but knows you’re on her side.

Dd is 13, she was 12 when she had her first professional brow and top lip wax. She looked fine to me beforehand but she was becoming conscious of her brows and lip.

I don't mind a tidy up as she has lovely shaped brows anyway but draw the line at these ultra HD black drawn on brows that look ridiculous! Thankfully she feels the same.

I think any hair removal on the face is best left to a professional. Overplucking is a thing and sometimes they don't grow back or they're not the same after.
Waxing/threading at a salon is the way to go.

I started at about 11 and dyed my fringe pink when I was about 14 in the summer holidays.
I shaved around 11 too. Never forced.

My dd hasn't mentioned it yet, her brows are a gorgeous shape but thick underneath.

It's tricky to mention any body hair without making it sound like it's something she should be doing...
On the other hand my dm never mentioned it to me and I would have appreciated being at least told about options.. If I wanted them!

At nearly 14 she'll be well aware of all the options I would think.

My Year 7 DD said she wanted to shave her legs because her friends laughed at her. It makes me sad that times haven’t moved on since I was at school 30 years ago. My DS has never mentioned shaving his legs.

I would love DS1 to get his eyebrows done (He's 21 now) but he's having none of it.

No sparkling Brook, this is the point of my post.

She seems blissfully unaware of this and if her friends are also not into it all nor their mums... How would she know?

And if she does what has she been exposed too eg.. Slug eyebrows or waxing legs....

I could lay out all the pro and cons of hair removal to her... This is the point..

But I'm reluctant too, because she's so unaware at the moment.
