Would you leave it alone, tweeze it, wax it, other? At what age would you address the issue? Does it change your opinion if it's a boy vs girl?

If I had a little girl witha unibrow I'd probably tweeze it just a little, but I don't know how early/when. It's easy to say I would, but tougher to actually do it when the time comes.

I would leave it alone unless it got to a point where the child was being teased and wanted me to do something about it.

@MamaMoose: I agree, although once my girl hit jr. high I would introduce tweezers the same time I talk about acceptable amounts of makeup. Kids can be so cruel.

I would probably tweeze it. My little brother started getting a unibrow when he was about 10 and once it was obvious that it was going to keep growing in my mom started tweezing it.

I had very thick eyebrows but I wasn't allowed to tweeze them until I was in grade 13 (back then, Ontario high school went up to grade 13), which made me 18 years old. I was self-conscious but not so much so that it hurt me in any way. The day I graduated from high school is when I went nuts on my eyebrows...Super thin (ugh, the 90s).

My niece has the startings of a unibrow. She's 8, which I really do think is too young to do anything. I don't think I'll ever mention the unibrow to my niece unless she brings it up (cuz I'm the cool aunt and why would I want to make her feel self conscious?). But I think around 12 would be a good time to introduce her to tweezers.

Wow, I feel so vain. I'm not sure what I would do exactly because I wouldn't want to hurt my child or make them feel self conscious but I feel like it would bug me and I would want to do something about it for my child.

I would probably tweeze or wax it around Jr high if my child had a unibrow, male or female!

probably tweeze it, but it's hard to say for sure until it's my kid!
