[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please take her to get waxed. So much better than shaving and ingrowns etc[/quote]

Cosmetologist here.  Do not wax young girls skin, anywhere.  They have very thin and more delicate skin than adults and it is extremely painful.  Honestly, between this and the other thread about the Dad who waxes his 5yr old's unibrow, you wonder why girls have such a bad image of themselves. [/quote]

While I agree with you about waxing, I don't understand your point about shaving resulting in a poor body image.  Having something bother you looks wise that can easily be remedied, being teased for it and being told that you must wait till an arbitrary age to correct it will harm their body image more than shaving.

I have told my DD that if there is anything about her body she is unhappy with she should come talk to me about it.  Especially when it come to grooming.  I want her to feel free to come to me about these things and not take measures into her own hands (I have a unibrow and wasn't taught how to correct it.  So I "fixed" it myself, with terrible results.) I told her that I would help her learn the right way to handle these things.  And it worked.  DD came to me recently and said that she felt her eyebrows were too bushy.  We trimmed (not plucked or shaved) them and DD was thrilled.
