(asking for a friend obviously) i am she is mid 40's and 3 times now, since December a thick, wiry, curled, coarse black hair has erupted overnight.

There is no way it can have been not visible the night/day before- it's in the same place .

Is there such a thing as a super hair (so I can reassure her) she is very fair skinned and not excessively hairy on arms /face etc. Grin

At what age do I need to have a chat with my DDs about making sure that if I get too blind or malcoordinated, they will have to keep my random hairs in check? My DM hasn’t asked me to do that for her, so I can’t use some time honoured family tradition. But there’s no way I want to be left with sprouts bits when I’m old.

Someone should video their face each night with the hope of catching the sudden sprout on film.

I have one mutant grey eyebrow hair that grows at warp speed. I can track the fucker because I regularly get my brows tinted, all the others are neat and dark except one 2cm long hair with a cm long white root.

I thought it wasn't that noticeable until DH grabbed it and pulled it out whilst we were having lunch in a restaurant last week. Blush

The tweezers that come with Swiss Army Knives, or the cheaper Swisscards (lke a credit card with tools that slot in) are excellent for dealing with the bristly fuckers.
They are slim and lightweight but very precise with fine edges for grasping the most porcine of bristles... so satisfying when they come out too. I've had mine for years.

kungpopanda · 20/02/2018 00:35

a white wirey hair that grows horizontally from a small mole on the left side of my face, just by my ear. It suddenly unfurls and appears and looks like a cats whisker.
@FellOutOfBed2wice, it's not a good think for me to be doing, I am definitely going to hell, but just hought I would let you know I am weeping with laughter and keep saying 'Kersproingggg!'.

The actual cat, meanwhile, is looking at me funny.

ClumsyFool · 20/02/2018 00:40

Yes! I have one on my chin, it grows poker straight, black and thick, it appears from nowhere on a regular basis, even though when I pluck it out (which I love doing as it’s so satisfying because of how thick it is Grin) it really does feel like I’ve got the root?! It even has that bulb like white bit at the end, but still the fucker is back a couple of weeks later!

LemonysSnicket · 20/02/2018 00:43

You just don’t catch it in the light and then one day... you do. My mum has one.

RebeccaWrongDaily · 20/02/2018 00:44

back from nothing? and one single hair? one massive, long, thick, single hair? that is not there? and then is enormous?

Yes. I'm often to be found shining my phone torch onto my jaw line searching for the wee fucker

I'm glad someone else shares my routine Grin

woodlanddreamer · 20/02/2018 11:03

They migrate up from your pubes.

GrannyGrissle · 20/02/2018 11:19

*FellOutOfBed2wice i am a little bit envious you have a whisker. i have a bog standard witch hair on my chin. I find it enthrallingly foul. Aren't human beings repulsive?!

Namechange101110 · 20/02/2018 11:25

I've got billions of these, go to bed smooth faced, wake up like I've eaten a bear. To make it even worse DH really struggles to grow a beard and is quite envious of my abilities Blush

MrsCharlesBrandon · 20/02/2018 11:40

wake up like I've eaten a bear
Possibly my favourite comment ever!

On a more depressing note I can totally relate, plucking sesh last night and I can feel the bristly fuckers now.

UpstartCrow · 20/02/2018 11:47

I daren't wax mine, the skin on that bit is too saggy and would just stretch.

littlewoollypervert · 20/02/2018 11:49

I got a magnifying mirror with suction cups on the back and stuck it to the bathroom mirror, and a clip on light from IKEA, for my plucking sessions. Also a fan of Tweezerman tweezers here.

whoareyoukidding · 20/02/2018 11:58

Tweezerman tweezers are really good for tough hairs. I have lots some tough hairs on my chin that fight back when I try to pluck them, but tweezerman tweezers always win in the end:)

Pfftkids · 20/02/2018 12:00

I had a clear hair (no pigmentation at all) growing out of a forehead line for a few years. I never noticed it until it was tickling my eye, I had been swiping it away thinking it was a stray head hair then one day the sun came out for a brief visit and boom!! I had a forehead line hair blowing in the wind! Kept it for the day to show everyone my pet hair Grin so now I'm always feeling around on my forehead for line hairs 😂 it comes back occasionally but never had the chance to grow as long

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 20/02/2018 12:06

Yes! I have one of these too! Goes from nothing to an inch long BLACK hair overnight. I have pale skin too. I just check the mirror one day and there it is, staring at me. I know exactly where it grows now and check for it most days but I never spot it until it's fucking massive. It looks like an eyelash has fallen onto my cheek. But it's attached.
I get chin bristles too but these have the good grace to be fair so less noticeable.

VanGoghsLeftEar · 20/02/2018 12:10

My husband has what he calls his "stress unicorn" hair.

It sprouts dead centre of his forehead like a unicorn horn, literally in a couple of hours, after a stressful day. It's got no pigment and it's weird.

IdaDown · 20/02/2018 12:12

Ninja hairs.

Katedotness1963 · 20/02/2018 12:13

Since I hit my 50's I have stopped looking in anything reflective in the sunshine. I leave the house thinking I've plucked all the stray hairs but daylight reveals I look like a bloody goat. I don't understand how the black, bristley hairs just show up so long I can practically curl them round my finger. Surely you should be able to feel them shooting out of your pores...

LadyKyliePonsonbyFarquhar · 20/02/2018 12:15

I have got a hairy mole on my arm but have always been wary of plucking it and use nail scissors to cut the hair. Is it really ok to pluck? I am scared of turning it into a melanoma.

TheDailyMailIsADisgustingRag · 20/02/2018 12:19

Shock I had no idea this was a thing! Yikes. Have you plucked the fucker now?

Paperthin · 20/02/2018 12:24

LadyKylie. I don’t think you can pluck the hairs in a mole - my beauty therapist has never done it - I have electrolysis on my few chin hairs. If I pluck the one in the mole I am scared it will develop into something more too!
