You know the one I’m talking about. The one that grows 10 times faster than any other hair on your body. Maybe it even grows where no hair has any business being.
Mine is on my back, it’s the only one back there BTW. Unlike most errant hairs, it’s not coarse and black. It’s soft and silky and white. It gets about an inch long before I know it’s there. I’ll be sitting in the bathtub and feel it floating around back there.
…chin. One damned long black hair. Wonder why I have a pair of tweezers in every room of the house as well as the car? Gotta get it when I find it, and not a moment later. And why did I not see it when it was tiny, not just when it was long enough to wrap silently around my own throat and strangle me?!
(former)Roommate would have one long eyebrow hair. He’d let it get to about two and a half inches long before it drove me totally nuts and he would finally pluck it out. Always looked like a brown thread caught in his eyebrow. And they would alternate brows, first the left brow, then a month later, the other brow would be infested with the "hair from hell’.
I have one of those. I call it the General Lee. Got it up to an inch and a half once, then plucked it and taped it to the bathroom door. It was still there when we moved out of the apartment some months later.
I’ve got one on my chin that I swear just pops out half an inch long, because I never notice it while it’s growing. And it’s dark… at the end. I figure it’s middle age creeping up on me, and by the time I’m 30 I’ll have three and I can braid them and tie a bow on the end.
Cheek - didn’t even know I had a mole there until I got a magnifying mirror. Fine, thin, wispy brown hair that I only notice when it’s about 1/2 inch long. I think if I totally ignored it, it would grow around my head.
neck. What’s worse is that it has no pigment so I can’t see it and have to hunt it down by touch. It hides in the folds of my neck so it will get about 2-3 inches long before I can find and destroy it. I wonder what other people must think when they look at my neck and see that mutant hair.
The base of my areola. While I don’t have a hairy chest, it seems that my body decides to shift all it’s hair growing attention to my nipples. They’re coarse, black and congregates in groups of four. And yes, I do pluck them.
In the front of my neck (not in the back by my ears, or anything, oh no). I first discovered this abomonation some years ago, when I was idly feeling my neck. I find this hair, and my fingers followed it and followed it and followed it. The damned thing must have been growing for years. It was probably a foot long. :eek: (I’m serious.) Who the hell expects for a frickin’ hair to grow out of their neck!?! It apparently didn’t have a whole lot of pigment to it, which would explain why I missed it for so long.
I keep tabs on it regularly, and like screech-owl, I try to have tweezers readily available. Sometimes the damned thing will hide for months, only to pop up as some mutant inch-long thing. Argh.
One time I was just getting ready to go on a trip to Yosemite, when I feel The Hair. On route to Yosemite, I had to make a special stop at Ralphs, just to buy tweezers. I plucked the hair out in Ralphs bathroom. Another time (coincidentally, when I was in Yosemite), I had to buy a pair of tweezers at the General Store, just for the sole purpose of plucking out The Hair. I cannot stand the torment of it more than a few moments. It must be removed.
I have one on my mid back and another on my right forearm. They are very fine and very light, and seem to grow at lightning speed, because I routinely check to see if they’ve grown back, and never find them until they’re 2-3 inches long.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one with weird miracle-gro hairs!
I had one that grew about a half inch from my left nipple in the aureole. It was black and coarse. I plucked it enough that it does grow back any more. I also have one that grows on my right breast about three inches from the nipple. Its days seem to be numbered though. It takes quite a while for it to poke high enough up for me to get at it.
My right shin. I usually forget about it for a year or so, then one day notice a hair on my leg which I try to sweep off, when I realize it’s attached. One time it got about 6 inches before I noticed. My legs are pretty hairy so it just blends in.
Ladies, as a confirmed non-Medical professional, I think it would be a good idea for you to send me pics of these rouge breast hairs. It would be for your own safety.
In all seriousness, I have no I call my Mutant Eyelash, it grows out of my left shoulder area, and it’s the same shape, thickness and color as an eyelash.
