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

[tsturm@famichiki.jp]

@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 🤨

[linuxfiend@vmst.io]

@vmstan Yes.

[user47@vmst.io]

@vmstan yup

[paulknightly@mstdn.social]

@vmstan the worst offenders are the ones that seem to come out of nowhere. Like how the heck did I not notice this beforehand? And then once I notice it, it can go unseen. Offensive little buggers.

[intrepidhero@vmst.io]

@User47 @vmstan they're the majestic hairs.

[ohmu@social.seattle.wa.us]

@vmstan
I suppose the reference to one's "wild hair" is just not in vogue anymore to warn folks about this as they get older.

Go ahead! You now have something to blame your must inexplicable and dangerous digressions on. That's what it's there for.

Go wild.

[chertridge@beige.party]

@vmstan Ohhh. First, I'd only have one long eye brow if I didn't tweeze the middle. Second, if I didn't trim, my brows would become an upper beard.
