To use eyebrow razor on 14 month olds face?

[HMP123]

My daughter has fine hair on her face, but as we are a family of black hair and fist skin it’s really noticeable. It’s very very fine, but very noticeable.

If I took an eyebrow razor to it and just gently did the side burns bit, would that be ok?

Anyone done it before?

Poor DD, at just 14 months, having her appearance judged as not good enough by her own mother?!

Please tell me this is a reverse?

No you can’t. Do not remove the hair, obviously!
But anyway it will probably naturally grow out on its own, and if you shave it it will obviously grow back thicker and darker. Leave your child’s face alone.

It will likely fade by itself as she gets older. All shaving it will do is blunt the edges making it appear thicker and therefore more noticeable. And also you would be the parent that shaved their child's face - very unnecessary and shallow.

Your feeling self conscious on their behalf no-one else is batting an eye about it

Ain't that the truth !

Please don't do it OP - there's no medical or necessary need to shave your baby's face. It can cause harm (risk of cuts and grazes), damage to their skin, eczema and irritation, along with it just being unnecessary. Let your child make their own decisions about their body hair when they're old enough. The hair is doing no harm and is perfectly natural, removing it for reasons of vanity will teach your child from a young age that there is a problem with their hair, it's wrong to let it grow naturally and that they should shave it to adhere to beauty standards. We should be teaching our children that body hair is fine, it's natural and there's nothing wrong or abnormal about them for having naturally growing hair on their bodies.

Don't enforce your own beliefs on body hair onto a child that is too young to know what body hair is yet, or the fact that there is unfortunately such a large social taboo focused around women who retain theirs rather than removing it. If they want to remove it, that's entirely their decision. Removing your child's facial hair will do nothing to make them feel comfortable in their natural body and everything to make them feel shame about the fact that their facial hair is darker.

Surely everyone knows you wax a baby not shave them…. 😂

I personally find it's easier to smother them in Veet cream, let them sit for 10 minutes and then hose them down in the shower. It means they fidget less so in the 10 minutes I have whole Veet is working, I can wax their eyebrows 😉

Absolutely not. It will likely fall out in a few months anyway but even if it doesn't, why exactly do you need to get rid of it? She's a baby for crying out loud.

God no! Their skin is so delicate, she'll have horrendous razor rash. Are you going to shave her face for the rest of her life?

My brain just stopped reading after "I personally find it's easier to smother them" and I was like "WHOA! Extreme much"

Does she have hairy hands too?

Why not take her for nail extensions and botox while you're at it? Really make a day of it.

I'm not sure whether this is a serious question or not, seeing as the OP has dropped and run.

My son has a birthmark from his forehead, going down the bridge of his nose and across one cheek. When he was tiny it was obvious, but as he grew up it faded and now, no-one seems to notice it.

It never occurred to me that perhaps I should have been slapping concealer on his infant face.

Interesting first port OP - I doubt your baby gives a shit - so no - don't shave it!

Their skin is so delicate, she'll have horrendous razor rash.

True, she should use shaving foam, and a nice aftershave balm.
