Fellas how are those eyebrows and ear hair?

I've gotten pretty good at keeping my eyebrows trimmed but I'll get into a bathroom with some backlight and there's an inch long hair sticking out my ear.
It's like shitty second puberty getting hair in weird places.

I been helpless for long what to do with my eyebrows. Tweezers? Scissors? I even asked my gay colleague if he could recommend me a good male cosmetics salon, but he said sorry he and his circles are all bears.
Honestly at the end I was just brave and set the hair trimmer to a safe length and gradually decreased it until I was happy with the results. Now I just buzz over it as 0.5mm when I'm doing the rest of my head. Looks perfectly fine.
BloodyRightNostril@reddit
Fine, comrade. Why do you ask?
Joerugger@reddit
I get my hair cut every two weeks. Barber trims the eye brows at those and one a month waxes the nose and ears. Is it fun, no. But it keeps me pretty and that’s the goal.
Impossible_Mode_7521@reddit (OP)
I'm balding and pretty much buzz my own hair and beard. I wish I wasn't so cheap and would get a regular barber.
Burlington-bloke@reddit
The ear hair was a surprise, I must admit. My nose hair trimmer is also used in my ears. I also have to shave the tip of my nose. I don't touch my eyebrows. Why were we never told this during health class?
inspctrshabangabang@reddit
It's not great
_R_A_@reddit
A good beard trimmer with a length adjuster has been my vade mecum when it comes to grooming these things.
7empestSpiralout@reddit
Nose and ear hair kept tamed. Eyebrows have never been a problem.
amiableviking@reddit
I don’t know why nose hairs aren’t a part of this conversation
Weekly_Library9883@reddit
I wax the tip of my husband’s nose (using my home wax kit I bought for my new perimenopause induced beard). Never met anyone else who had hair on the tip of their nose. It’s like eyebrow hair. There’s a good 20-25 of them. It’s kinda crazy.
Ok_Researcher_9796@reddit
I've seen a few people on TV with hair in their nose.
BornTry5923@reddit
He should laser those!
spotcatspot@reddit
Or braid them.
Weird_Squirrel_8382@reddit
I have hair on the tip of my nose. I get them threaded which is a fun combination of tickling and pain.
ElectricLego@reddit
No issues with ears and brow's under control. Nose hair, though, is a nuisance. Tickley and gross. I use the Golden Birdie up there. Some trimming is mandatory these days
Impossible_Mode_7521@reddit (OP)
I get those ones that are about 18 gage. I'm thinking of saving them to make paint brushes.
sweetassassin@reddit
Not a fella, but Ive especially have glee when I pluck out a thick wiry white hair from inside my nose.
The body is a wonderland.
Weird_Squirrel_8382@reddit
🎶 We got the afternoon, good light and tweezers too🎶
leviathynx@reddit
I pulled one out a few days ago that was an inch and a quarter long and it was kinky at the end.
whistleridge@reddit
I get nose hair, but no ear hair yet.
Happily a trimmer takes care of the nose hairs without issue. But I’m pretty near hairless, and the hairs are soft. Guess I’m just lucky.

BattlebitsTooHard@reddit
Those are the real struggle.
Few_Candle9432@reddit
Yeah. I can grow thick dark hair anywhere but where I’d like to have it.
FlexDB@reddit
Fuck you, I hadn't thought about this in hours.
qordita@reddit
Mine are looking great thanks to my partners regular maintenance, she's the reason I have more than one eyebrow!
BeanerSchnitzel38@reddit
The first haircut where you are asked if you want them to "get your eyebrows" hits pretty hard.
RoyalPuzzleheaded259@reddit
My eyebrows are beginning to look like Wilford Brimley’s mustache. I have to trim them now. I’m also changing my earlobes. And trimming my nose hair.
Dickrubin14094@reddit
I bought a multi purpose trimming tool that has attachments for eyebrows and nose hair trimming. For the ears I’ll just lean up close to the mirror to check for any stray hairs sticking out. As soon as I see one I pluck it.
tgerz@reddit
Eyebrow hairs have gotten extraordinarily long so I’ve been plucking for a few years. Same with ear hairs. They just all of a sudden exist and I’m like where tf did you come from?!
cjandstuff@reddit
I keep a set of tweezers at work, at home, and in my car. And as for the eyebrows, they have to be constantly trimmed as they have somehow decided their goal is to make me look like Gandalf.
GlitterChickens@reddit
How about the luxurious mustache I’m growing? Which sounds nice until you realize I’m a woman 😭
dowut_ohghey@reddit
😂😂😂
LifePedalEnjoyer@reddit
I occasionally pluck an ear hair.
When I trim my eyebrows, the sink looks like I shaved off a beard. My eyebrows get wizard like.
Sempophai@reddit
I could probably sweep it all up and back to conceal the balding, especially my eyebrows.
jusxchilln@reddit
greying pubic hair and balding legs
jbarnett81@reddit
Bushy af and my nose looks like a dust mop
Cloud_Fortress@reddit
Eye brows are astonishingly on point; ear hair is like what the actual fuck. Shave those bastards almost every time I shave my beard
Automatic_Beat5808@reddit
Lady here. I found an inch long fine white hair sprouting from the middle of my forehead.
GlitterChickens@reddit
I just found one from my shoulder blade yesterday. Was like wtf?!
MFDoooooooooooom@reddit
God that must have been satisfying.
JurisUrsus@reddit
No ear hair, but I have a trimmer for the battle in the nose. Barber deals with rogue eyebrow hairs.
argyle9000@reddit
F you for posting the thing I was worrying about exactly as I was browsing Reddit.
Put my finger into my ear tonight and it felt like sticking my finger into a battery terminal brush.
Raffino_Sky@reddit
Still going from left to right.
Sm0kecheck@reddit
Yep, my barber asked if she could get 'em 4 years ago. My response was, "If you see one that shouldn't be there, done be shy". Hasn't been much of a problem since, just a new part of the routine......ugh.
napalmthechild@reddit
So glad I’m Asian.
picollo7@reddit
Tweeze that shit bruh. Eventually they stop growing pull em out enough times.
LAffaire-est-Ketchup@reddit
My eyebrows have finally grown back from the pencil-thin eyebrow era.
I have a single chin hair. No one will ever ever see it.
SB4_Camaro@reddit
My wife plucks them lol
x7leafcloverx@reddit
I have a new tick, and it’s pulling out my long ear and eyebrow hairs. But also nose hairs. Ps. They grow very quickly so it’s constant.
Astrazigniferi@reddit
I’m female and have had my hairdresser wax my unibrow for years. She always asks if I want my lip done as well and I tell her to look at it and tell me if I need it. That lip wax is getting more and more common, but the eyebrow wax is getting less and less necessary. Also, I’ve developed a WHITE eyebrow hair, which just feels like insult to injury.
spotcatspot@reddit
I have the white eyebrow hair and raise you a white eyelash.
Astrazigniferi@reddit
Oh, that hurts! Not the eyelashes!
tettoffensive@reddit
I have had one section of white eyebrow hairs since I was a kid. People used to comment on it but now they don’t as I have gray in my beard as well. Not much gray on the head though.
Weekly_Library9883@reddit
Yeah, I really wasn’t prepared for my eyebrows to go white. Scalp hair, yes, but I’ve got 3 stark white eyebrow hairs in one eyebrow.
WhatTheCluck802@reddit
Ah yes. I have literally two white hairs on my head (maybe - could be blonde since I can never find them after I think I saw a white hair…). Yet I have a coarse, long, WHITE brow hair that I just noticed today - it’s like a gotdanged antenna. What the actual fark.
Red_Car_Singer@reddit
Is your white one front and center too? I was insulted when I finally found that one. Damn blurry vision.
Astrazigniferi@reddit
Yep. Just outside the stuff that gets waxed, so plucking it would make a weird blank spot.
Skipper0463@reddit
The ear hairs really bother me. I pluck them regularly because I find them so irritating.
Negative-Wrap95@reddit
How about that one random hair on your back miles away from any other patch that ends up being two inches long for no damn reason?
Apologies to my Sasquatch bros.
Funsternis1787@reddit
It's embarrassing, so I just always stay home.
Luckily, my wife loves all my hair, even on the back.
No joke. She just loves my manly hairyness.
GrendelDerp@reddit
HOW AND WHY THE HELL DOES ITGROW SO FAST?
smellslikebadussy@reddit
The trimmers do nothing!
starmartyr11@reddit
It only angers them!!
ReferredByJorge@reddit
Much like myself, an adversary only motivates their willfulness.
jackytheripper1@reddit
My husband is growing potatoes out of his ears and he has mentat eyebrows
Zenitram_J@reddit
I'm pleased that mentat eyebrows has become a somewhat common descriptor.
jackytheripper1@reddit
Me too I love Dune. I have 7 Dune inspired tattoos

ChiefSampson@reddit
I've been shaving the inside of my nose, and my ears every other day along with my face withy daily shave for 15 years now. Nevermind how hairy my fucking back is....
RealityOk9823@reddit
I had a nipple hair that was as long as any on my head. Proud of that sucker. Wife was like "WTF that's too long" and yanked it out one day. I still haven't forgiven her. She does help me pluck my ear forest so there's that.
Grinagh@reddit
Well I'm trans but along with my facial hair removal my electrologist zaps my ear hair too
PersonalityAlive6475@reddit
5 different danged electronic clippers for different types & areas of body hair & 3 different (types of) tweezers.
But the in-grown hairs are the heckin’ worst.
SlackerDS5@reddit
Non issue. People still think I shave my legs. I’m just melanated and don’t grow a bunch of body hair.
tettoffensive@reddit
Old man eyebrows suck. The hairs get longer yet the eyebrows also thin out.
And don’t get me started on ear hairs. They’re always in the most difficult spots to remove.
Ltimbo@reddit
I’ve dodged that bullet so far but I’m a ln unusually hair free person. I do have body hair but it’s very thin. I only shave my face twice a week. I have facial hair of a 16 year old.
va2wv2va@reddit
Same here
jackfaire@reddit
Hair on my upper back is the only weird place I have hair and it's been there for years.
FalseVeterinarian881@reddit
Neat and trim.
TwilightStranger@reddit
I've had an inch long hair that's grown out of the side of my neck since my early 20s. Hair on my head is still full and doesn't show much signs of thinning. Eyebrows aren't as full as they used to be but get kind of scraggly which my barber takes care of. Barber has also taken the clippers to my ears since the peach fuzz on them seems to be getting more noticeable.
Corporate-Scum@reddit
My ears don’t stop! And my eyebrows can’t pick a direction.
HeywoodJaBlessMe@reddit
All my hair is still present and growing faster every year, especially ear nose and eyebrows.
Alarmed_Drop7162@reddit
The electric shaver has an attachment for all that.
wifeski@reddit
Gotta get a close friend, lover, or wax studio to yank them out… with any luck, repeated yanking could result in alopecia of the ears due to over-plucking… much like my poor 90s eyebrows.
cirkoolio@reddit
I have a pair of video tweezers. It’s a veritable forest in there.
OskeyBug@reddit
I had chemo last year and while it was pretty miserable overall I was so happy to be free from nose hair.
lost_horizons@reddit
I get random long eyebrow hairs. I call them Gandalfs. I’m gonna end up with some bushy ones someday. As it is for now they get trimmed to a normal length, because otherwise it’s weird when they blow around in the wind, so.
WalterWriter@reddit
I fucking love my giant-ass eyebrows and get mad when my hair lady wants to clipper them.
The single hair growing out of my right ear canal is a different matter.
Zenitram_J@reddit
I have more hair on my ears than on my chest. It's some bullshit.
Impossible_Mode_7521@reddit (OP)
I have a hairy chest. Sometimes the ladies like it, sometimes they don't.
Zenitram_J@reddit
I have like 3 hairs on my chest, and SO MANY IN MY EARS NOW. What purpose does it serve!?!
moles-on-parade@reddit
BURN IT. Whenever I'm feeling stupidly brave I'll soak a q-tip in alcohol, light it on fire, and repeatedly hit myself in the side of the head with it.
I try to make sure my wife's in the house so if I start screaming she'll take appropriate steps.
lemunche1@reddit
Sometimes when I get a hair cut it’s “do you want me to that one super eyebrow hair that’s been growing at 100x speed for 3 months unnoticed?”

burnafter3ading@reddit
Funny you ask. I just radically tripped my eyebrows with a clipper.
wuhkay@reddit
Trim, rip, destroy. I hate them with a passion lol
jbt55@reddit
Eye brows thinning but longer. All of them seem to have forgotten the previously agreed upon length rule. I have to trim my noise hair just about daily.
User_Says_What@reddit
Belligerent and numerous.
LilBennyPoo@reddit
One of my oldest friends cuts my hair every 2 weeks, she makes sure I have two eyebrows
RaygunMarksman@reddit
Ear, nose, and excess eyebrow hair is in full effect for sure. I gotta keep up with the maintenance every week or two, otherwise I'll start looking like an old wolf man in this B.
MonkeyChoker80@reddit
I bought one of those ‘earwax cameras’, and use that and a pair of tweezers to find and remove ear hairs once every week or two.
Keeps it down to ‘not irritating the hell out of me’ levels.
Unhappy_Performer538@reddit
I have one hair that now grows out of the side of my neck that is like two inches long sometimes before I remember to shave it. I’m a woman btw lol
Automatic_Beat5808@reddit
Same. I commented above about how my rogie hair grows from the direct middle of my forehead.
Express-Cow190@reddit
I’m pretty good at handling my eyebrows but I have one random wiry grey hair that will randomly appear. It’s funny to me because I keep them trimmed but it will just spring up fully formed
Quiet_Molasses_3362@reddit
Never forget those random hairs from odd places. Like why do I have to pluck the random ear cartledge hair. That's excessively long
sexwiththebabysitter@reddit
Try to keep on top of it with my little trimmer. Ear hairs are thin and blonde for now, so not too bad. The nose hairs are my issue. Keep them trimmed, but get a rogue tickler once in a while that will drive me nuts until I take care of it. And another issue is the dark hairs creeping from the chest to the back and shoulders. Before a trip to the pool or beach I have my wife take the clippers to my back.
someguyfromsk@reddit
Bought a nose hair trimmer attachment a few years ago.
The ears have been fine.
Traditional_Entry183@reddit
Eyebrows are big, as they always have been. No issues with ears yet.
Notchersfireroad@reddit
Just as whispy as theyve always been thank fuck.
TheFeshy@reddit
A tendril of hair reached out and grabbed a small bird. I have to recharge the nose hair trimmer for each nostril. I have to fill out an environmental impact study justifying the power use for the body hair trimmer. One day I'm going to fall behind, and the next day I'm going to be cousin It - but from my nose and ears or worse, rather than the top of my head.
Brandywine-Salmon@reddit
Re: eyebrows. It’s not so much that they’re long, it’s that their footprint is expanding further up my forehead.
TheDorkyDeric@reddit
WELL...
I was my nose hair and tweeze my ear hair. And yes, the electric trimmers suck ass.
Ok_Breakfast5425@reddit
I wish my head hair grew as well as my ear hair
TheVenetianMask@reddit
I wonder why can't my scalp be made of ear.
_____AMOK_____@reddit
Eyebrows are disappearing but I’m trimming my ears every week
elliemff@reddit
Wax them. Ears, nostrils, and eyebrows. I do my husband’s all the time.
TMore108@reddit
My eyebrows still look great, no trimming. My ear hair... Can we just focus on how good my eye brows look
mackeydesigns@reddit
Eyebrows are easy, the ear hair is infuriating. I’m constantly plucking, even tried waxing a few times.
If I don’t do anything for a week I question how old I really am.
tavikravenfrost@reddit
I have a random long eyebrow hair occasionally, and I'm getting random hairs on the tops of my ears. I don't have any in my ears yet, but I feel like that's coming since my grandfather had it.
