I just noticed that my 13 year old daughter has some dark chin hair . It’s not super noticeable but I think could be noticeable and would be uncomfortable if someone ever said something . I think it’s likely just increased hormones as she goes through puberty (she just got her period a few months ago) . I’m not concerned for pcos or anything like that right now- but just want to know the best way to handle this. Should I very chill just say - oh sometimes when I see a hair I don’t want on my face , eyebrow or wherever I just tweeze it. Can I help you with a hair or two on your face? Or just ignore it?

Definitely don’t ignore it. Ask if she’d like to go for electrolysis.

Yes, say that and ask if she wants you to show her how the first time.

I’d prefer not to tell her she needs electrolysis. I think I should make it more chill at this age .

If she's happy to handle the pain, do electrolysis and get rid of it for life

Does she groom or wax/thread her eyebrows yet? Is she interested in grooming in general? I’d just open a conversation about it, sharing what you do. Don’t make it about the chin hair specifically but just share the ways girls and women often groom facial hair (eyebrows, lip, chin) as they enter their teen years, and make it normal and part of her choice. Share different options: threading, waxing, home dilapitory, bleaching, and that you’re happy to get her anything she’d like to try or take her to a salon. Maybe turn it into a fun thing and include getting a facial or a fun face mask, so it becomes part of self care and not like you’re telling her there’s something wrong with her.
If the hair is quite noticeable and she’s not aware of it or not yet into grooming, and you’re really concerned about teasing, you might have to approach it differently and more directly.
