It’s becoming noticeable now she’s not mentioned it yet. Wibu to look into removing it? Or leave it until it bothers her?

I think my DD will be hairy as she’s dark and I think it’s so cute but I do worry that she will get laughed at. I’d leave it till she says anything.

My son (7) has a mono brow, it’s more noticeable in the winter months. I use a nasal trimmer to whisk it off once a week, usually on a Sunday; it takes a couple of seconds and he isn’t bothered by me doing it. He had had a couple of comments from children in his class last year and despite the fact that I’m very much a ‘people should take you as you are’ kind of person, I didn’t want him to worry about something that I could help him with in a way that was/is so easy to do.
It’s not the same but I had acne at his age (dodgy hormones) which has never 100% gone, despite strong treatments. I don’t want him to be easy pickings.

We use this one.

I remember being 11 and a prat of a boy commented on my ‘hairy legs’ while we were stood in the lunch hall, I went home and shaved my legs (used my mums razor) because I couldn’t bare the thought of him laughing at me again.

I would definitely remove it. I understand what others are saying about waiting until she notices it. But do you want the first time she notices it, to be when she gets teased about it?

Wait until she says something, my DD has one too. Some girls were calling her ‘monobrow’ At school at around age 7, so I pluck the middle every couple of weeks so her brows no longer meet. I don’t see the harm in helping her deal with it.

Leave it for now but definitely look into how you want to remove it so you're ready to go when she's old enough. There was a girl in my primary school who had a unibrow and slight mustache and she started waxing around age 9. But she got teased before that.

And ignore people saying that it's terrible you're considering removing it. Who would want their child to be slagged off at school!

Kids are horrible! Don't make a thing of it. If she's very bothered then take her to get it threaded properly. Make it fun. But otherwise please don't even mention it!
I had a monobrow until I was 20. It didn't bother me. It was my how my face was and I had enough good friends that any attempted bullying just rolled off my back.

Then it bothered my (3rd) boyfriend so I took it off. He was a dick though...
