Should I get my toddler's eyebrows arched??

Question

My little girl is 2 years old and has very thick bushy eyebrows. They are connected and are about 5 inches thick and cover her entire forhead. I'm tired of people in the street asking me if they can brain my daughter's eyebrows to her hair. I want to get her eyebrows arched but I don't know if I should or if I do should I use tweasers or hot wax. Should I get my baby's eyebrows's arched?? Help please!

Answer 1

In my opinion she is too young to understand; however, it won't be long before the comments, not only effect you, but start to make her have a very low self esteem at a young age. The first few years of a child's life make up a huge part of their future. My daughter was 6 when the kids at school started making fun of the dark hair on her upper lip, and yes it was very embarrassing but I waited until she noticed. (I allowed her to get waxed). She was much older though. I would definitely check with a professional or her pediatrician to see if you can fix her problem painlessly and in a fashion that will not affect her tender skin. I would also make sure that the solution is something that does not have to be done very often (ie. once a month or even 6 months). The doctor might have an idea about a laser treatment or something that won't hurt her and can permanently fix the problem.......But, I would not wax/tweezers or do anything without professional consultation on a baby or toddler. They are too precious to permanently scar their beautiful soft skin. Just an opinion with 2 girls of my own.

Answer 2

if it is truly an issue go and speak with her pediatrician. if it is troubling you enough that you are posting it on here it is worth getting a professional opinion.

i definitely dont' think tweezers or hot wax are the solution though. they make bikini hair trimmers which can just thin out the hair in a pain free way. you can do it while she is sleeping and she won't even know.

again, unless it is super bad then i wouldn't worry about it; however, if it is an issue where she could be teased when she is older than take care of it for her. if there is an easy solution then DO IT. at 2 it is hard to believe that her eyesbrows could be so thick BUT i am not saying you are not telling the truth, which is why i am saying go and speak with her doctor.

That is the link for the type of product I was talking about.

Answer 3

You should at least have the unibrow removed. This can be emotionally scarring to a 2yr old. I would recommend just using an electric razor to shave her forehead and to create a gap in the unibrow. This should only need to be done once a week or so at her age. When she gets to be 5 or 6 she may need it more often, at which point a hot wax treatment may be more viable for her.

You will almost certainly have to reappraise the situation then, as many unibrows can be indicative of future facial hair issues.

Of course, if that is the case, you may choose to sell her at that point: many small circuses, especially in Europe, will pay top dollar for hirsute children.

Answer 4

Yes, because the residue from the hairspray will clog the pores surrounding your eyebrows. If you're worried about breakouts, be extra careful to not let any of the hairspray to come to contact with the skin around your eyebrows.

Answer 5

I wouldn't get it done!!! Definitely not arched anyway...if they are sticking out a whole bunch, you might be able to trim them a little with scissors, but as far as waxing or plucking them, I think that would be out of the question! I would probably ask the pediatrician on what to do come kindergarten.

Answer 6

I would go to a salon and see what they can do with tweezers. Hot wax would be incredibly painful for her. Watch them carefully and make sure they give you the step-by-step breakdown. If it looks good, try to do it at home next time. And tweeze as you notice hair growing back. Do it pretty often, and once that's simple for her, consider hot wax. Eventually, you may be able to do it less frequently if you use hot wax. But just make sure you're not paining your baby. Make sure she doesn't really know what you plan on doing (ie: I'm ripping hair off your forehead) and that she comments when it hurts. Good luck!

Answer 7

are you nuts? do you want to make your daughters confidence level decrease to zero? maybe it is the character and the rudeness of the people you are coming into contact with. I think you more than likely need to consult a doctor to see if she has some disorder that would make her grow excessive facial hair. If not, who cares what other people think? To you, that baby should be the most beautifulest thing in the world!

Answer 8

How shallow can you be?! No, you shouldn't get your little girl's eyebrows done! She's 2! Who cares what other people say?! Tell them to f**k off, but don't put that poor baby through the pain of having her eyebrows done! I can't believe you're even considering it!

Answer 9

i see what these other people are saying, and you should think about what you are doing to your kid before this happens. if you think that this is really necessary, talk to a dermatologist first. after that, you should probably use a VERY small and safe childproof scissors. anything that could hurt you kid shouldnt be done, especially at the age of 2. do this yourself because plucking and threading hurt me leat alone a toddler. good luck i guess...

Answer 10

I have 2 kids of my own.I know what its like to be concerned about them.
I don't see a picture of what the problem looks like so I don't know if its a bad thing.
I would say no to any changes if its something thats natural.If the child has a problem with it and his or her feelings a being hurt then yes I would do it.
Other then that ask a professional person to person.
