Any other men of a certain age just randomly get a super duper long eyebrow hair?

@vmstan me

[vmstan@vmst.io]

@apmeyer yes!

[vmstan@vmst.io]

@jalefkowit fortunately nothing going on there yet.

[jalefkowit@vmst.io]

@vmstan It becomes a whole thing. Or, um. So I'm told

[vmstan@vmst.io]

@lauren 🤨

[krisfreedain@fosstodon.org]

@vmstan and no matter how many times it's plucked - it comes back with a vengeance within days....

[krisfreedain@fosstodon.org]

@jalefkowit @vmstan can concur - then your 22 year old walks up and pulls on the ear hair you had no frickin idea was even there.... little punk.

[vmstan@vmst.io]

@krisfreedain it takes a little while longer for me, I do pull it out though.

@jalefkowit @vmstan

Yeah, not just eyebrows. Pick a place with a follicle, it'll grow some random long hair overnight.

Middle of the cheekbone? Yep.
Forehead? Absolutely.
Top of the nose? Weekly.
Anything involving an ear? Get the hedge clippers.

@johntimaeus @jalefkowit @vmstan Can confirm. Top of the dome gave up on the hair growth thing, but it’s enthusiastically being picked up by random other parts of the head.

[stinerman@mastodon.social]

@vmstan yes. My wife hates them and begs me to let her pull them out. I think they're great.

[ocdtrekkie@mastodon.social]

@vmstan I have a single hair on my shoulder that will grow like *inches*. Like a cluster or cells that were supposed to be on my scalp just ended up over there somehow.

[slyborg@vmst.io]

@vmstan All the hair you lose from the places you want it eventually comes out in places you don’t want it.

[vmstan@vmst.io]

@ocdtrekkie yep. That too.

[ramsey@phpc.social]

@jalefkowit @vmstan I tweez the shit out of my ear hairs. How can they grow so fast?

I’ve started getting white eyebrow hairs, and they go in weird directions.

[twipped@twipped.social]

@jalefkowit @vmstan I plucked a three inch hair off my ear lobe the other day, I don't even know how it survived long enough to do that

[rpmik@avgeek.social]

@vmstan I was disturbed when barbers began to trim my eye brows (one just went for it and didn’t ask) and now I get my hair trimmed at home

[smallsco@oldbytes.space]

@vmstan Not just you! I have two eyebrow hairs that for whatever reason like to grow 5x as fast as the rest of my eyebrow hair.

[kboyd@phpc.social]

@vmstan Yes. My barber suggests taking a comb, pushing it to the roots, then running it against the grain to pop them out. Then you can trim them ("but not too short!", he says)

[retrosponge@kind.social]

@vmstan
I'm 55 and this is an ongoing issue.
