9:yr old now asking for upper lip hair removal

I had a set up at home and I would do all her beauty treatments in under 30 minutes every week. We were deep conditioning the hair, face and body mask etc. My kid was in the swim team with kids who did not have a dark hair on fair skin problem. Once a week care took care of problems before they arose.

Once I had removed

At what age? You are a good mom.

Ugh NO. Tweezing will make ingrown and harder to address later. When she’s older she should get electrolysis or laser.

She can get laser now. 9 years old is not too young.

I would not allow my 9 yr old to get laser just yet. Maybe 15+

Why?

I liked it so much I got one for myself (and getting the link for you I see they're 20% off at Target right now with pickup so may get another one in case one of ours dies). Like you, I waited for her to raise it. I'm low-maintenance (like extremely low) when it comes to beauty stuff but she wanted to do something about it. Maybe she'll do something more permanent in the future, but for now this is working well for us.

+1. Get this. Dark, hairy Italian here and this is what my daughter uses. She’s in middle school and still prefers this over other methods.

Threading is great for eyebrows and other parts of the face, but the lip not so much. Unless making your kid cry is the goal.

I have been having my upper lip threaded since I was eleven. It’s fine.

Another recommendation for the Flawless device!!!

Yes this! I got it for my DD around 9-10. She is 13 and still uses it for upper lip hair. She hates anything painful and has no interest in waxing. As a parent, unless you are experienced with waxing, I wouldn’t do it on a child. It is painful and can rip skin and be a really bad experience if you don’t know what you are doing.

I would take my DD to get it lasered in another year or two, if she is interested. You need to wait until a couple years after period onset for laser hair removal to be effective

Why do people say no bleach? That’s what we just used for our 10 year old’s upper lip.

It's just a small electric razor.

I would at least get a consultation with a laser clinic if you think your child will eventually get such a treatment.

Take her to a threading shop.

Pointless. It will be several years before OP’s daughter can get laser. Do the consult close to when you can actually have it done

Often bleach doesn’t really stop the issue especially if it’s thick.
