AIBU to not let daughter grow a unibrow?

[Albatross454]

As you all may know, I have one ds (twelve years old) and a fifteen year old daughter.
My ds is on the spectrum, dd suspected and i'm currently suspecting it in myself too.
dd's father (we are now divorced) is from the middle east type area (a mix of Syria, Iran etc) so dd has very thick dark hair and grows facial hair very easily.
she's quite insecure about this. It breaks my heart when i hear her talk about how she wishes to be english like me and her brother, she's experienced racism from classmates
But she's recently discovered a 'model' on instagram called Sophia Hadjipentali? If that's the wrong spelling, I apologise.
Now, don't get me wrong, she's a beautiful woman, but she has a quite awful looking unibrow I don't know if it's to get attention, but she flaunts it around on instagram like some sort of fashion accessory.
Dd usually shaves her unibrow off, but these past few weeks she has been refusing. I personally think it looks awful. She's very beautiful, dark skin, dark eyes, dark hair etc and I think she could pull off a lot of things but not a bloody unibrow and a mustache
Now it's her body and she can do what she wants with it but I don't want to upset her.
What do you think? This probably sounds strange but advice would be appreciated! x

I’m amazed how often parents (on mn anyway) are willing to coerce their children into observing mainstream fashion (although, usually a very outdated version of it), in order to avoid potential bullying.

It shows a complete ignorance for what’s important in life and for how bullying actually works.

Read about Frida Khalo.
Think about why you think it looks awful - isn't it internalised subconscious racism, lifting up Caucasian genetic patterns as "better" than Syrian/Iranian?

I applaud your daughter. Tell her she is beautiful with or without facial hair and it matters not one bit.

I can relate here OP, I had the same issues growing up (being of partial ME descent) but only wished my mum was as interested as you are in helping get rid of them! It's true that thick eyebrows are in right now. While it's not bothering her and while she's not getting any negative attention from it, I think it's best to leave it as she might feel resentful. I think her opnion will change over time, when that happens, take her to get threaded.
