Examining my face close up in the mirror this morning, I found what looked like a blackhead. I gave it a little squeeze and out came this quarter inch long hair that was very black and very thick. More like bear fur than a human hair (is it a full moon, per chance?). It didn’t seem well connected and came out easily. I’ve had a few in the past, in the eyebrows, mostly. They grow very fast, very dark and very thick but just a single hair and they always come out easily. In my nearly half-century of life, I’ve had maybe five of 'em. Anyone else?
Had one on my chin one time when I started growing a beard. It was like a pimple and when I squeezed it a thick black hair popped up. It became infected so I put some topical anti-biotic on it.
I had a similar experience. Last September, just before my 33rd birthday, I was looking closely in the mirror at my goatee-style beard. And what did I see on my chin but a number of hairs that I’d never noticed before and that did not match the deep red color of the rest of my beard! No, these were much lighter; in fact, white…
My girlfriend sometimes gets long thin white hairs on her cheek that grows out over night, like 2 inches, they scare me a lot.
I’m so happy I read this before dinner.
Yeah, I wonder how many out there are now rushing to the mirror to have a look/check - yuk!
