Daughters Eyebrows

[mummymayhem18]

Another post from me about my rapidly growing up daughter 🤣. What do your daughters do about getting there eyebrows done as there are so many different types now to have done. She gets a few growing in the middle but just generally could do with a nice shape. Thanks

My DD is 12 and has really thick brows with no shape. She wanted them to be tamed a bit so I took her to a shopping centre threading booth.

They did an amazing job for a fiver, now they are a beautiful shape and I am helping her to pluck the regrowth. She enjoys her life just as much as did when they were a bit bushier 🙄

I don't understand some of the responses on here. Life is hard enough for secondary school girls with puberty and friendships and everything else that entails - why make things harder by not allowing them to feel comfortable in their own skin 🤷‍♀️.

Get her watching your tube tutorials for how to do it herself, anything else will become an expected & expensive repeat service that you will regret big time. Save salons etc for birthday treats

I vote for threading ... normally a little cheaper and there are lots of drop in places!!

Threading hurts like a MF though,I am hardcore and waxing is fine but threading makes me wants to punch the woman!!

Just a word of caution on eyebrow waxing. I know loads of people get it done and they all say it’s fine but the skin around the eyes is very thin and fragile and waxing is very severe on that skin. Personally I wouldn’t be encouraging that on a young person’s skin for them to repeat every few weeks. Not least to avoid having loose baggy eyelids from having but constantly stretched like waxing does.

@LoafofSellotape 🤣🤣

@JoxerGoesToStuttgart yes I wasn't really thinking of waxing. I think get it done,shaped and then she can maintain it hopefully lol.

My dd has been tweezing since primary school. She's luckily inherited great eyebrows from her Dad than my weedy ones.

Get her to love the natural eyebrow look. Wax and tint is great and enhances what is already there. Just steer her away from the “debenhams counter” look. The Kardashian shite look etc. She willbe thankful in years to come.

In the 70's when we were 13 we either plucked them into a very very thin line or in some cases they were plucked so much they disappeared and those girls just looked permanently surprised. Thank goodness times have changed. I'd advise taking her to get them plucked professionally as a treat then that will give her a shape that she can maintain herself. I wouldn't advise waxing at that age.

When I was a kid I was EXTREMELY hairy. Kids take the piss out of whoever is different, and I was different.
Was called a beast, a gorilla etc for years.
And my mum didn’t let me shave my armpits or legs until I was older because apparently it’s only for older girls to decide.
If my child ever wanted to remove their body hair at pretty much any age I’d allow them to, for the sake of being bullied for having a mono brow for years on end just give the kid a fiver to get it waxed off.
If anything, being different and not being able to do anything about it made me more image conscious, whereas if I’d been allowed to shave my legs and have my eyebrows done when younger, I wouldn’t have such a hang up about it now.
