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

[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.

[timixretroplays@digipres.club]

@vmstan it's always the brightest snow white ones that stand out, too. Like if you're going to misbehave on my face, at least have the decency to be somewhat discreet about it

[witewulf@cyberplace.social]

@vmstan yup, same, but also ear and nose 🤨
