Teen eyebrows

30 replies

My teen (14) is really self conscious of her eyebrows.

She gets a thick monobrow which I started to try and help her with one of those electric eyebrow shapers but it only lasts a couple of days.

Plucking is not an option as she is ASD and the repeated pain isn't something she can deal with.

I'm no expert on this as I am really fair and a few tweezer movements resolve mine.

What's the best solution here that's the least painful?

I find threading less painful than waxing and it lasts quite a while.

Waxing hurts less for me. Hated getting them threaded

Same here! Never had so many tears in my eyes as I did from threading 😩

Thanks everyone! @ShyTed really appreciate you giving your advice.

I think I'll go to a brow bar, they are really lovely then longer term might try the strips on her as she gets used to it.

You could try if they do it on this are, sugar. Similar to waxing.

Yes sugaring is my favourite method, if you can find somewhere that will do it! I had it done on holiday in Tunisia. Painless and long lasting: best of both worlds 😍
