Hi Moms,

My daughter has one eyebrow. She's blonde and only three so I am honestly not interested in taking any strong measures like plucking (which is what I do to separate my eyebrows) at this point. Waxing also seems too unpleasant and unnecessary for a three year old. However at some point her hair will darken (we go from blonde to brown in my family and huband too), and I'm going to have to take some action. Any suggestions on some very gentle and/or quick form of hair removal would be great.

What can I do next?

I would wax it at a professional salon if it really bothers you. The hot wax doesn't hurt, and it really takes 1 second and it's over.

That being said, I think your child will be fine with one eyebrow. My stepdaughter has one eyebrow and the hair inbetween her eyes is quite light so it's not noticeable. She also has hair on her legs (she is 7) and I think letting her be natural is fine! (until she reaches the age where she chooses her hair removal)

What about Nair?
I have a 3 year old with a very dark but sparse unibrow and a (yikes) a large wart on her forehead. I've got her on some cream for the wart and we are very careful how we talk about it with her. I agree with an earlier writer that unless she is bothered by it or getting picked on, I would try not to mention it or do anything about it. She's way too young to have to worry about how other people percieve her or to think she's not perfect.

I think I would just shave it myself. I shave my upper lip and mole (on my cheek) every other day and have no problems. Can't see a unibrow being different. Of course this is probably years away from being an issue. Or grow her bangs out, lol.

I have a unibrow as well. I would not worry about it, unless she asks about it or if it makes her uncomfortable. If it is blonde it is hardly noticeable anyway....mine is very dark and I didn't know how to pluck it until after I was in college. Don't make her self conscious about it, just if she brings it up or someone makes fun of her or something when she gets a little older, talk to her about her options and see what she wants to do. Maybe bleaching would be easiest for a child cause I know I wouldn't have been able to do waxing or plucking at that young.
