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.

      My nose has become a thing…

      Ear hair is when I knew I was officially old.

      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)

        Same here. It’s also thick as a beard hair. Used to be once every few months. Now it’s several a week. Annoying as fuck.

      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.

        Not the nose, but the wolf ears are awful.

        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!

      I know, right?? Ear hair just gets super aggressive one day in your 30s.

      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.

          Yepp- some are lucky and end up with medium-long chest hair with pony tail on their backs, and some of us end up with hairy ears

      Wait what… now I’m gonna be paranoid and check my ears in the mirror every day

          Spoiler:

          You’ll get to have a “the calls are coming from inside the house” situation when something keeps “crawling” on your ear…
