Us Weekly Mobile - Celebrity News - Farrah Abraham Defends Waxing 3-Year-Old Daughter's Eyebrows: "I Think I Did Something Right"

January 9, 2013

Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham** made headlines Tuesday, Jan. 8 after she wrote a blog about waxing her 3-year-old daughter Sophia's eyebrows. Despite criticism over her parenting decision, the MTV star tells ABC News it was the right thing to do.

"People just kept commenting on a unibrow," Abraham, 20, explained in an interview that aired Wednesday on Good Morning America. "And I was like, maybe I am letting it go too far."

Abraham shared in her blog post the her daughter "freaked out" when she put a dab of wax on her eyebrows. So instead, the mom decided to use her tweezers to pluck her brows while she was asleep.

The Teen Mom star has been criticized for being too obsessed with her appearance. After undergoing a breast augmentation in 2011 to go from an A to a C cup, Abraham received a $16,000 rhinoplasty and chin implant on Oct. 7.

"Cosmetic surgeries to me, are something that is way different from plucking your eyebrows," Abraham explained to ABC News.

Though ABC News reported that dermatologists recommend that plucking only begins after age 7 or 8, Abraham is happy with her decision.

"If I can help my daughter in a little way by just plucking a few hairs . . . I think I did something right," she said.

The young mom furthered defended her action on Twitter. "Unibrows are not sacred! Do the right thing tweeze no matter what age," she wrote Tuesday. The following day she added, "Sophia's beautiful with unibrow or without! Point is take care of your child's hygiene."

I have always tried to teach my children to appreciate their beauty from within as well as their beauty on the surface. How are we going to try to instill that when u have mother's, young mother's, tweezing and waxing their 3 yr old's eyebrows?? Baby's are innocent and beautiful gifts, there is no reason to change their physical appearance for your gratification!! When your child is old enough to make a decision like waxing or tweezing their eyebrows then sit down and discuss the decision with them. It's sad that today these young mother's make rash decisions on the opinions on others.

Still Don't See The Hype About It. Most Girls Get There Ears Pierced At A Very Young Age.

I cant stand this dumb broad, BUT, I honestly don't think this is any worse than parents piercing babies ears or circumcising. A lot less painful actually and both for looks.

Its not our place to judge her. Those saying she needs to put money into college fund for Sophia, she makes alot of money so Im sure shes doing both. Its HER bussiness what she does with HER money!

Oh my gosh! First of all what the stew does having a unibrow equate 2 hygiene? What the frick n frack! This dufuss thinks she did something right? Please. All i want is 20 minutes alone with her. And as for modeling? She can forget that. She looks like mr. Ed. For those that have never heard of him, he was a horse on t.v. Show n the 60s!

It's laughable that this reality show hoe aspires to be a model. The plastic surgery was a waste of money, didn't help her in the looks department one bit. Children's Services should be checking out the fact that she put hot wax on the face of a three year old. And near her eyes. What a fukking idiot. She needs parenting classes and needs to save her money to raise her kid and pay for her education. Reality fame doesn't last. She should get an education herself.
