I'm 26 and sometimes have a couple of 'rogue' long eye brow hairs I have to pluck out. IS this a trend which will continue with more regularity as I get older?

I was gutted the first time the barber asked if I wanted my eyebrows trimming.

Only two years ahead of you but it's worth investing in a male grooming trimmer. I got a cheap (£10) one from Argos and it does nose hair and eyebrows pretty well.

That's nothing. Once in a random barbers in Ely the chap trimmed my ear hair! He didn't even ask before doing it!

It sinks off the top and comes out other places, eye brows is one, ears and nose next.

It's when they ask what grade you'd like that you know you have to start worrying.

Well, just last week in the Barbers the guy actually pulled back my t shirt and trimmed up my neck and the top of my back hair!

Mrs Blue plucks my ear hairs and the white eyebrow hairs. I trim my own eyebrows.

Yes it gets worse as you get older

It's a sad fact of life that your father never warns you about. You hit a certain age and you end up with nose and ear hair that resembles a colony of black hairy sea anemones gently waving their tentacles in the gulf stream.

I read that as 'waving their testicles in the Gulf Stream'

That happens as you get even older and the hair really starts to thicken.

My right eyebrow is still OK, although a little grey. But just last week my left eyebrow started growing in all sorts of random directions. I mean, what's that all about?
