Or is it more of a gradual descent over a period of time?
Not sure, but goddamn I could have done with some warning that I’d need to start shaving my ears when I turned 30.
No major ear hair here, but every once in a while a single follicle somewhere on one earlobe or the other decides to vomit out a 15mm hair in like a day and a half (or so it feels)
Do you get hairy nostrils? Like one or two really long nose hairs that need to be clipped?
“clipped” - you just reminded me of that episode of House, where the clinic patient (tw: gross) has been using his toenail clippers to trim his nose hair, and he developed a fungus.
PSA - Buy a trimmer specific for that purpose.
I started to get occasional gray nostril hairs. It’s annoying because they are super noticable but also in there far enough like a normal hair that I can’t just yank it!
Wait what… now I’m gonna be paranoid and check my ears in the mirror every day
You see, what’s really happening is that the hair-line gets lowered.
It’s like a hat with no top that you pull a bit down your head. So ears will get covered, nose hair will get head-hair length. You’ll even grow hair high on your cheek like over the cheekbones just under the eyes.
Basically they… fall out from the head and wherever they land that’s their new place?
I’m 59 and I’ve worn briefs my entire life. My wife calls my balls “high and tight”.
Your mileage may vary.
37 and they sag a little, but they can also go all brain mode randomly too 🤷♀️
Just to add to the choir. Noticeable in 30s, worse in 40s…
Let me save you some time. It all happens way quicker and way younger than you expected.
