Need advice about my daughter!

[Chezmcd86]

Hello...
my 13 year old daughter has shaved her chin because she was slagged for having hairs on her face ... now it's worse she has stubble !!! I'm so upset and I don't know what to do! Has anyone's daughter done this? I feel for the first time alone as a mum 😢

That’s a shame, it’ll grow like stubble now because shaving just cuts the hair so the ends blunt & sharp. Waxing, tweezing & threading remove it from the root which is much more effective. Sometimes women get hairy chins it’s normal. I’d take her to a salon to get waxing or threading done ☺️

Thank you ... I just need to know I'm not the only mum that has experienced this... and some advice 🙈

Get it waxed

Let her go to the salon. She's clearly conscious of it

Poor DD, please take her to a beauty salon this weekend as she will listen more to their advice than to yours (that’s teenagers for you!) and she can have a regular treatment like waxing or threading. Shaving it’s probably the worst solution here.
Go and talk to the beautician on your own beforehand to explain what you want to achieve so they can tell her it’s not necessarily that uncommon and there are solutions. She might be too young for electrolysis or IPL but ask them just in case she is a suitable candidate.
If she sees you are ready to help her with her dilemma she might come to you first next time (there’s always some ‘problem’ young girls want to fix!) and if you won’t have an answer you will find one for her.
Good luck!

We have a. Rey good relationship , I'm a young (ish) parent and I like to take care of myself , I've taught her to shave her legs and under arms and I take her to get eyebrows waxed ... so I was in such shock that she did this without coming to me ... none of my friends daughters have done this and I feel like she's having confidence issues and now this "stubble" will make her worse ... she is very deep although we have a good relationship ... I'm just worried about the appearance and confidence thing... we are going for eyebrow was tomorrow - I will speak to my beautician then ... 🙈🙈 there just isn't a manual for these things ... thanks mums... this is the first I've posted here xx

Bless you both. Could you look at dermaplaning?

I'm going to ask my beautician tomorrow ... I just wish she would have come to me as she usually does ... so I know she knew it was wrong ... 🙈 I just don't know any other mum with daughter who has done this at a young age x

I would help her with tweezing or take her to get it waxed.

I myself as a teen, with dark hair feel the same kind of way with upper lip hair, but I agree with other people, waxing is a good way x

It won't be stubble forever. It's like if you shave your legs and then don't for a few days - the first hairs that grow back are stubbly but when they are shed the new hair is soft.

A permanent or semi permanent solution to your daughter's facial hair would be a sensible move. No girl or woman wants facial hair - especially not at thirteen.

I presume she doesn't have a lot of facial hair, maybe just a couple or three. I had one at the side of my face, just above jaw, and plucked from the age of about 12 which was fine for me but it was only one. I had to do it quite often, they grow back. I must say now it doesn't seem to appear as often as it did when I was young.

If I'd had a lot of noticeable face hair I would have chosen electrolysis but I honestly don't know if it is suitable for everyone. Worth looking into though.

Thank you all xx

I think dermaplaning is too harsh for such a young skin. Bear in mind potential for acne coming up because of hormones, it would be difficult to keep up the treatments.
Start with the basics like plucking or waxing and work your way up if needed.

Great mum you are

I know a teenage girl who shaves her arms because they are too hairy. I had black hair and my arms were a bit hair when I was younger but I would never have shaved them. As I got older they became blonder and finer so not really noticeable. I would take her to a beauty salon and get her chin waxed or even consider electrolysis if you can afford it.

Don't have any advice for you OP, but I just wanted to say I wished my mum had a mindset like yours when I was in my teenage years.

Let it grow a bit then take her to the salon for waxing. My daughter has an acne problem so she has a facial for teenagers when it flares up. They’ll be able to advise her.

Thanks everyone! I took her to salon and my beautician just plucked them out said that's what will just need to keep happening no biggy she didn't seem phased 🤷🏼‍♀️
I panic too much ! X

Super! Hopefully DD was also pleased with the beautician’s advice and realised she needn’t go to the extremes with shaving.
