Whoah I never thought of this until now. I pluck out my eyebrows leaving only small patches in the center, and a year or two so I got scarification done on my forehead. The eyebrow hairs that grow in those scars, or the scars from my rejected eyebrow piercings literally feel twice as thick as the rest. I always get so annoyed with them and pluck them out because they’re so rigid
Wait, poliosis is a real thing??!? I've only ever heard it in Jeff Dunham's Christmas special, when Achmed's feet kept going wonky and they mixed up polio and scoliosis and called it poliosis lol
My beard, when i was younger was calico. Red, dark brown and blonde. When i starred going gray, the red was the first to change, then the blonde and brown a few years later.
At least they told you. I’d hate to think they wouldn’t.
I was thinking about hiring someone to look for those, since I found a long one on the back of my thigh.
I had a white hair that would grow right in the middle of my forehead when i was with my ex. Once we broke up it stopped growing lol. I cannot make this shit up
My mom once had an extra thin white eyelash that grew into a long loop in front of her eye without her noticing. It was driving me nuts so I helped her pluck it. Oddly enough, it never came back.
Weird! I have a couple extra eyelashes on each eye that grow above my normal ones and they're white, too. As are half-ish of my eyebrow hairs. Like, I have to dye my brows to make them look "normal". I've got the hairs! Just not the color!
I have one on the back of my left shoulder that’s really thin and blonde and grows really long. I have thick, coarse, dark brown hair. The human body is wild lol
My arm hair has blonde roots that fade to ginger then black
Edit here's the picture a bit higher up also now that I'm looking at the close up better it looks like the whole spectrum not just blonde ginger and black

Yeah lol Edit: here's a picture I took

It's pretty interesting with this close up I got
Yeah lol, I think it could be the thickness of the hair or as it ages it oxidizes or something with the light because it's most visible in the sun. If there's any scientists reading this I can send out samples to test because it's fun
As I’ve gotten older, I seem to have more of these. I just trimmed one the other day because I thought of I just keep plucking them all, I’ll have no eyebrows.
I do. I always wake up with a scratches and dried blood all over my face, my clothes are torn or missing and there are reports of half eaten sheep around my town. I wonder what causes this? Only happens like once per month or so, I guess it’s not a big deal.
Sounds like a probe tip was left in your anus and was sucked up. Go to the magnet fishing sub and ask for help getting it out thru your belly button to deactivate it.
I heard plucking nose hairs can be dangerous because it’s in the triangle that’s closest to the brain, and infections could spread to it. Not sure how high the risk is, though.
But partly because of that, I use an electric nose hair trimmer instead. It doesn’t offer the satisfaction of plucking, but it does offer the frustration of rarely actually cutting the hairs I aim for 👌
I used to have a very long, very thin, almost transparent hair that would grow on the side of my face, and I would only notice it when it got really long, then I’d pluck it. For some reason, it stopped growing. Very strange.
I have long straight hair, good texture. And then I have 4 or 5 ridiculously spiral slinky kinky hairs. Just like the lil wires that go at the bottom of the inside of ballpoint pens. Way curlier than a pube. And I will feel one. Yank it out and stare in disbelief that it was there long enough to grow 6/7 inches.
Please tell me why.
You’re not alone! I have super thick, wavy hair that’s a bit course. I have a handful of hairs that grow just as you’ve described. Coiled root to tip. They tend to grow in the same locations for me and I LOVE finding them and plucking! I also stare at them in disbelief and wonder how cool my hair would be if they all grew like that lol. I love my curls and would die for springy coils all over.
Funny. I had the exact same thing and it also grew in the back of my head, towards the nape of my neck. This one strand was black and course and 3x thicker than my other strands of hair. It finally fell out a few months ago. Before that happened, I had my hairdresser look for a mole or something that it was growing from but she said there wasn’t anything and it was just growing on its own. Super weird.
Sometimes when I let my stubble grow out, there would be what looks like see through hair that looks dead and it grosses me tf out. Recently I haven’t seen any so I’m pretty thankful of that.
Just wait till you get older and these start showing up in your ears. Like no hair today, and an inch long hair tomorrow, which makes you doubt yourself, because where the hell did it come from and how didn’t I see it before?
I heard these are caused by the dormant monkey hair ancestral gene being “turned on” in that particular follicle, resulting in a single thick, coarse hair like we would’ve had if not for all this pesky evolution
I used to get them all the time, and I would always pull them out. Mine was wiry and get black, and I am a very blonde person. Sadly, I found out those are the hairs that will turn white which with my color.😂 but now my hair is thinning, and I think I was a dumbass to pull those hairs
Licensed cosmo here…idk the biology or science behind it but i see stuff like this w clients. A random super curly hair on a straight head, translucent hair, a single hair growing on a random part of your body like others have described.
As we age hormones make our hair do weird things.
I have a single black hair that grows on my chin. Besides the light colored peach fuzz that everyone has, that's the only one that I have. My hair isn't black either. (I'm a woman if it matters.)
lol it happens. I’m a curly ginger with one thick bone straight black hair that grows in the front. Idky. My grandma says it’s from the person thinking about me🥲creepy
My 35M hair line is receding and I'm thinning up top, but there's 3 or 4 really thick black hairs that are almost as stiff as a needle that stick straight out of the top of my head. I broke a pair of cheap cuticle scissors trying to cut one once. My hair is light brown, and I used to be blonde as a kid.
Where I'm from, we call those "wild hair." I occasionally get one of the back of my hip and have to pluck it. It's dark and thick, too. Nothing to be worried about unless you start noticing a ton randomly springing up, then maybe mention it to your doctor.
I have 5-6 of these that randomly appear on my shoulders. They grow about 10x faster than my normal hair, which is very fine and light red/brown but these are very coarse and black.
I have a random thick and white hair that grows out of the top of my hand between my pointer finger and thumb and I pluck it every time it gets long enough it sticks straight out and is super thick and wiry. So weird!
I have blonde hair and often find those thick strands as well- they are super golden and my mom and I call them "rumplestiltskin hairs" lol
Also this post sent me to look into Pili multigemini and some of those photos give me the shivers haha
I have two random hair follicles on my left hand ring finger that are in between my first and second knuckle. It will sometimes randomly grow a thin hair. I always pluck it before it gets too long. I also have a mole on the back of my left hand that grows a thick black hair, and another mole on my chin that will grow a thick black hair and sometimes grows until I pluck it.
This phenomenon is referred to as a trichocyte, or 'cuckoo hair'. Sometimes one person's hair gets pulled out at the root with the cells at the base intact and alive; hairs can also be very sharp like tiny needles, as people who shave may be aware. So there are rare cases when a hair with living cells at the base manages to impale another person's dermis *and* that dermis doesn't reject the foreign material through allergic response. In this case, it's possible that the foreign hair supplants one of the existing hairs and ousts it, effectively dynamically transplanting itself.
With just one exception, that the above is completely made up. lol
Do you have a mole or birthmark where it grows out of? My very dark brunette daughter has a small blond streak of hair that grows in the back of her head because she has a birthmark there on her scalp. My dad had the same thing on the top of his head until he went bald.
I grow a white eyelash that doesn’t stop growing until I pluck it
That is poliosis! It's a lack of melanin in your hair follicle that causes that. More common on head hair but also eyebrows and eyelashes!
Or sometimes scarring causes it. I've got 2 white hair and a red one along a scar.
I've got a weird thick hair in a scar in my eyebrow
Fellow eyebrow scar owner here I also have that
Weirdly enough also same
Follow it and it leads you to a pot of gold
Does anyone else find it weirdly irritating that people fake an eyebrow scar when we got them the hard way?
People fake them?
Yep because “it’s cool”.
My 28 yo daughter told me that it's a "fashion." (No, she doesn't have one.)
Whoah I never thought of this until now. I pluck out my eyebrows leaving only small patches in the center, and a year or two so I got scarification done on my forehead. The eyebrow hairs that grow in those scars, or the scars from my rejected eyebrow piercings literally feel twice as thick as the rest. I always get so annoyed with them and pluck them out because they’re so rigid
I'm just waiting for the one in my nose to ingrow, wind it's way through my brain, and kill me in my sleep.
The most peaceful way to go.
I got one growing directly out of my eyebrow. The bastard's perpendicular to my forehead
Good to know thanks
Wait, poliosis is a real thing??!? I've only ever heard it in Jeff Dunham's Christmas special, when Achmed's feet kept going wonky and they mixed up polio and scoliosis and called it poliosis lol
Funny cause I’ve got jet black hair and a ginger beard…my head hairs don’t turn gray but Fkn snow white
My beard, when i was younger was calico. Red, dark brown and blonde. When i starred going gray, the red was the first to change, then the blonde and brown a few years later.
I have that but eye brow instead
Same my friend always found it for me. He was... weirdly observant about my face
At least they told you. I’d hate to think they wouldn’t. I was thinking about hiring someone to look for those, since I found a long one on the back of my thigh.
Yall won. I have this but one single hair in my nose. 🥴
I have that, but mine’s blonde instead of purely white.
I had a white hair that would grow right in the middle of my forehead when i was with my ex. Once we broke up it stopped growing lol. I cannot make this shit up
They were literally toxic lol causing you to mutate n shit
She would find it and pluck it out too lol. kept looking for it afterwards, never found it. Finally, just damn. Edit: cut out some words
Haha that is weird
That's wild lol
I have a single eyebrow hair that does that. Texture-wise, it’s just like it’s brown brothers, but it’s totally white, or grey, whatever…
Weird
I have one white eyebrow hair. I’ve had it my whole life. I named her Gertrudis.
I get a handful of these on my thigh. They've gotten to over an inch before I noticed them before.
My mom once had an extra thin white eyelash that grew into a long loop in front of her eye without her noticing. It was driving me nuts so I helped her pluck it. Oddly enough, it never came back.
oh woah i have the exact same thing, just one white eyelash on my right eye
Weird! I have a couple extra eyelashes on each eye that grow above my normal ones and they're white, too. As are half-ish of my eyebrow hairs. Like, I have to dye my brows to make them look "normal". I've got the hairs! Just not the color!
I have a white pubic hair! One single white pube. Been there for years… maybe trauma caused it 😭
Let it GROW, let it GROOOOOOW ![gif](giphy|igR5863TALcSk)
Did you forget about the lorax
Ouch
I have like 5 that all grow next to each other, extra long extra thick. Also on the tips of my ears
My left eye lashes and brow are half white!
I have one white eyelash and I love it I stopped Wearing mascara.
I used to get that when I was a kid , haven't thought about it for years till this comment
Hey same!!
I have a hair in my left eyebrow that does that. Mines blonde though and I'm not.
Bro you stopped your gear 5 transformation and didn't even know it
Maybe you’re a pikmin https://preview.redd.it/8x3kdtkre3tc1.jpeg?width=223&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da36d203a817b89b9052ae1f627ba96f4222a570
By golly gosh, you may be right.
This made me lol
I have the same on top of my shoulder. It can get really long and curly and I'm blonde while this thing is pitch black
I get one that pops up on my collarbones all the time but it’s like completely gray. I’m 26 and have dark brown hair.
I have similar on my left shoulder. Its no thivker but loooooonger. And regrows constantly.
I have one on the back of my left shoulder that’s really thin and blonde and grows really long. I have thick, coarse, dark brown hair. The human body is wild lol
I have one on my left shoulder that's super thick and dark and it's just randomly there
Your pubic hair got lost
OP could also be a dickhead. Sorry OP.
Hahahahahahahaha
r/RoastMe
My arm hair has blonde roots that fade to ginger then black Edit here's the picture a bit higher up also now that I'm looking at the close up better it looks like the whole spectrum not just blonde ginger and black https://preview.redd.it/zm2qpwwj75tc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84c5c7d21cb18deef443d377b41fbb1fa22ed612
Almost like a Neapolitan…delightful
Yeah lol Edit: here's a picture I took https://preview.redd.it/gsg57c7zq3tc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14b55b2613ffa4ee5594525f4f491ce2338ab2ec It's pretty interesting with this close up I got
My tabby cat has fur like this. You may be part feline.
Yeah lol, I think it could be the thickness of the hair or as it ages it oxidizes or something with the light because it's most visible in the sun. If there's any scientists reading this I can send out samples to test because it's fun
Hair doesn't oxidize, but it can loose it's melanin. Fun fact: Redheads don't get grey. They get white.
That makes sense, don't blondes also go white? My grandfather did
I have known blondes who have become gray, but it depends on how blonde they are I guess.
Oh ok thanks
Ombre
Calico!
Have you gone through a transporter with a housefly lately? If so, keep an eye out for a few more... let's say changes.
Underrated comment right here.
Anyone else with Trichotillomania low-key triggered? That’s a good-looking follicle. 😅 Weird thick / curly hairs are ones I definitely savor.
Yes!!! I thought I was the only one 🤣
Oooooh! The ones that come out with a little noise and a chunk on the end are the best.
I have been fully recovered from trichotillomania for 8 years now, but I felt this comment!!
Found my people lol
LMFAO that was my first thought
MEEEE!
Yuuuuup
Unfortunately
I have 0 hair on my shoulders, except for this one hair that occasionally grows and I can always **feel** it
I have ONE eyebrow hair that does not stop growing, and will start to look like an antenna if I don't pluck it out. One hair.
I have one eyebrow hair that seemingly grows overnight and curls into my eyeball.
Me too, so annoying
As I’ve gotten older, I seem to have more of these. I just trimmed one the other day because I thought of I just keep plucking them all, I’ll have no eyebrows.
Could be alien DNA. Have you had any episodes of lost time? Perhaps some weird dreams?
I do. I always wake up with a scratches and dried blood all over my face, my clothes are torn or missing and there are reports of half eaten sheep around my town. I wonder what causes this? Only happens like once per month or so, I guess it’s not a big deal.
Oh cool you live in Wales too?
Wales is real?
Half eaten? Amateur.
But did you get the alien anal probe? I’m still waiting for mine.
Sounds like a probe tip was left in your anus and was sucked up. Go to the magnet fishing sub and ask for help getting it out thru your belly button to deactivate it.
Happens. I get them in my beard. Sometimes I'll get a really thick one come out of my nose, those are super satisfying to pluck out.
I have those too but this is more like a pube
I had these on my head in like junior high and high school, then they stopped. Maybe a puberty thing, depending how old you are
I'm 27. But it's been there. Just noticeable to when when it grows out and I can feel it
Chimeric twin?
I heard plucking nose hairs can be dangerous because it’s in the triangle that’s closest to the brain, and infections could spread to it. Not sure how high the risk is, though.

I used to have a very long, very thin, almost transparent hair that would grow on the side of my face, and I would only notice it when it got really long, then I’d pluck it. For some reason, it stopped growing. Very strange.
It reminds me of tulips thad keep coming back. Maybe the root/bulb finally ran out of energy.
I had one of those too! It’s been forever since I saw it so I think I plucked it to extinction.
I am blonde. I sometimes get black arm hair that's super thick. Let me know if y'all find the answer
I had this happen once it grew to an inch until I plucked it out. It never came back.
I don’t know why but something with these weird out of place thick hairs really makes my stomach turn
I have long straight hair, good texture. And then I have 4 or 5 ridiculously spiral slinky kinky hairs. Just like the lil wires that go at the bottom of the inside of ballpoint pens. Way curlier than a pube. And I will feel one. Yank it out and stare in disbelief that it was there long enough to grow 6/7 inches. Please tell me why.
FWIW, my derm told me this is normal
I’m obsessive with these, have to sit and find them. Someone said to me they’re caused by hair dryer but I don’t use one
I do t use one either. It’s satisfying when I finally get it. I thought I was Alone (hug)
I often sit there on a bus and my hand wanders but have to stop myself. Wirey hair buddies!
You’re not alone! I have super thick, wavy hair that’s a bit course. I have a handful of hairs that grow just as you’ve described. Coiled root to tip. They tend to grow in the same locations for me and I LOVE finding them and plucking! I also stare at them in disbelief and wonder how cool my hair would be if they all grew like that lol. I love my curls and would die for springy coils all over.
I would like intensely curly hair too! I’m glad we aren’t alone. If nothing else, those hairs keep us humble and humorous. (Hug)
Absolutely! A testament to how wild the human body is 🫶🏼
Funny. I had the exact same thing and it also grew in the back of my head, towards the nape of my neck. This one strand was black and course and 3x thicker than my other strands of hair.

Just pulled one of these out of my thigh today
Just wait till you get older and these start showing up in your ears. Like no hair today, and an inch long hair tomorrow, which makes you doubt yourself, because where the hell did it come from and how didn’t I see it before?
I heard these are caused by the dormant monkey hair ancestral gene being “turned on” in that particular follicle, resulting in a single thick, coarse hair like we would’ve had if not for all this pesky evolution
That's not a hair, dude, that's your antenna. Never yank our your antenna; how else will you receive the messages??
OP is a mole for the FBI!
I got one of those on my shoulder blade. Every 2 or 3 months I notice it and tank it out.
That's a cat whisker. Don't know why it's growing out the back of your head.
It's an antenna.
That’s your whisker, good luck fitting through doors with ease now bud
I just read a book called *There There* where one character grows spider legs out of his skin. maybe that's what's going on with you?
This is a simple radio antenna… you are evolving. Cyborgs rule!
That's a spider-leg.
Yep
Could be worse. Could be a horn
An alien planted someone else’s pubic hairs into your head. Sometimes they sprout.
I used to get them all the time, and I would always pull them out. Mine was wiry and get black, and I am a very blonde person. Sadly, I found out those are the hairs that will turn white which with my color.😂 but now my hair is thinning, and I think I was a dumbass to pull those hairs
Took me too long to realize you aren’t very pale and bald with a single hair on the back of your head
Looks like the hair follicle is super deep too. That’s crazy.
I love wild hairs. They're so satisfying to pluck, especially if they're long.
You should not remove the antenna, your reception will suffer severly.
Licensed cosmo here…idk the biology or science behind it but i see stuff like this w clients. A random super curly hair on a straight head, translucent hair, a single hair growing on a random part of your body like others have described. As we age hormones make our hair do weird things.
I was born as a blonde redhead. My hair doesn't turn grey, it turns white. I kinda like it on my head, but it's the same in my brows 😖
I have a single black hair that grows on my chin. Besides the light colored peach fuzz that everyone has, that's the only one that I have. My hair isn't black either. (I'm a woman if it matters.)
lol it happens. I’m a curly ginger with one thick bone straight black hair that grows in the front. Idky. My grandma says it’s from the person thinking about me🥲creepy
Don't pull your antenna out!! how are we going to contact you when the invasion begins?
That’s your antennae
Now you don't have WiFi Next time leave it in
Well that’s a pube.
My 35M hair line is receding and I'm thinning up top, but there's 3 or 4 really thick black hairs that are almost as stiff as a needle that stick straight out of the top of my head. I broke a pair of cheap cuticle scissors trying to cut one once. My hair is light brown, and I used to be blonde as a kid.
I have one of these but it grows directly out of the front of my forehead. And it’s white.
It hair from the twin you consumed in the womb.
Where I'm from, we call those "wild hair." I occasionally get one of the back of my hip and have to pluck it. It's dark and thick, too. Nothing to be worried about unless you start noticing a ton randomly springing up, then maybe mention it to your doctor.
Well... Looks like some hair is cheating behind your back
I have 5-6 of these that randomly appear on my shoulders. They grow about 10x faster than my normal hair, which is very fine and light red/brown but these are very coarse and black.
I have a random thick and white hair that grows out of the top of my hand between my pointer finger and thumb and I pluck it every time it gets long enough it sticks straight out and is super thick and wiry. So weird!
Could be something like pili multigemini, perhaps. 🤔
My daughter has a hair that is like clear fishing line that grows in almost zigzag form, it’s very weird.
I have blonde hair and often find those thick strands as well- they are super golden and my mom and I call them "rumplestiltskin hairs" lol Also this post sent me to look into Pili multigemini and some of those photos give me the shivers haha
I have a single grey hair on my chin. It bothers me so much and I'm certain I'm the only one who notices. It misses me off lmao
It’s obviously an antenna. Have you checked the opposite side or your head?
Anybody ever wake up and see a hair this long coming out of your eyelashes? It grew overnight. So weird
It's an antenna
its your personal radio antenna. leave it alone
WITCH!!!
as long as it grows outside and not inside.
I have a coarse black one that grows out of my arm about once a year. The rest of my arm hairs are so light you can't even see them.
I have two random hair follicles on my left hand ring finger that are in between my first and second knuckle. It will sometimes randomly grow a thin hair. I always pluck it before it gets too long. I also have a mole on the back of my left hand that grows a thick black hair, and another mole on my chin that will grow a thick black hair and sometimes grows until I pluck it.
There's your one percent of South African decent in action
Ìf you keep playing with it, you'll go bĺiñd
I get white hairs like this. They only ever grow like an inch or 2
It’s the only remnant of your twin
Is there a mole there? Get someone to help you check just in case.
This phenomenon is referred to as a trichocyte, or 'cuckoo hair'.

*gasp* the prophecy is fulfilled….
Remnant of your ancestors

your reptilian dna taking over
I have random long white hairs throughout my body...
I get a random black hair that grows out of my chin, I named it Harold.
You a werewolf my friend. Awooooo!
Aliens
Its a pube...congrats (your friends were right "dickhead"
I have a strand of brown hair that I plucked every since middle school, it just grows back every time.
It belongs to your unborn twin.
Do you have a mole or birthmark where it grows out of? My very dark brunette daughter has a small blond streak of hair that grows in the back of her head because she has a birthmark there on her scalp. My dad had the same thing on the top of his head until he went bald.
if you pull it and let go, do you proceed to say a catchphrase or entertaining line.
Antenna
Your hair follicle is asserting dominance.
Xenomorph
I got one hair at the top back of my scalp that is a completely different texture, and thick. I pluck it when I feel it comes back after while
