For the first 40 years of my life my eyebrows kept themselves perfectly in check, all short hairs, nice and neat. But over the last couple of years, more and more of the individual hairs are growing at an alarming rate. I'm assuming my body knows what it's doing, so I was just wondering what sort of situation I will find myself in that will require long eyebrow hair? Presumably it will be something that I've never experienced before, so I was hoping that those who have already been through this could give me the heads up so I can be ready for it when it happens.
I only have the odd misbehaved eyebrow hair - seems to sprout an inch from nowhere.......much easier to use small scissors to keep them in check rather than tweezers.......what I'd rather know is how to control nasal hair.........
Nasal hair Now we're talking. Over the past year my nasal hair has really kicked up to the big league. It employs an ingenius tactic too where it grows unseen, somewhere up there, developing and maturing undetected before springing suddenly down to hang a centimetre out of my nose. There's no tucking them back up either. Once they're out, they're out and proud. So then it comes down to the yank and pluck. "Why is budmustang sitting at his desk with tears in his eyes?" Emotional work son.
Re: Nasal hair You will have hair sprouting out from every orifice. The barber will be happy to trim eyebrows and ears but will probably say no to the nasal hair.
Its to compensate for the loss of hair on your head. Rain and sweat will travel with greater ease towards your eyes, the less hair on the head you have. Bushier eyebrows will help to divert the extra moisture away from your eyes. Just a guess.
Re: Nasal hair As someone who is 10 years older than you Jay, the nasel hair, ear hair and also wild eyebrows (I have 2 or 3 hairs that are more like whiskers, perhaps this is to enable to judge getting through tight spaces) is now taking full effect. So far I have not encountered a situation where these hairs are required though.
Re: Nasal hair I go to the barbers opposite the post office. They set fire to the ear hair - that's fecking scary! The whole place will go up one of these days!
It offers nothing practical Long, irregular eyebrows, bushy ear hair, forests of nasal hair, two pathetic, feeble hairs on my scalp. But does it bother me?
Re: It offers nothing practical I'm about your age, but I think I will be spared all this. I've barely started shaving. Remember, this used to be one of the most beautiful men in British cinema. Pluck it!
Re: It offers nothing practical Never try the fire tactic, particularly on the nasal hairs...I once accidentally set fire to mine..my snotter went up like the Hindenburg..brings tears to the eyes even now!!
Re: It offers nothing practical It's 'orrible..since turning fifty, hair's disappearing rapidly off dome. Ears, nose, back and shoulders veritable forests...and how can I put this, hmmm, let's just say I seem to get through more bog roll nowadays. Don't tell me there's a god
Re: It offers nothing practical I'm 35, and at about stage 4 according to Father Ted. Nose hair has to be trimmed at the end of each month, l have two hairs on each eye brow that have to be plucked once they get to about nearly an inch long which is about every 6 weeks, they hide in the length of my eye brow until my missus finds them out. Its a great show showing the kids how long the hair is once she's plucked it. I also have to trim my leg hair every March to about a grade 3, then by the time l go on holiday in July/August the suncream is able to rub in without getting tangled in the fur. Mental. Not one hair on my back though! Richard Keys is my father, the hairy b*stard.
