Sudden growth of “mutant” hairs?
Hi There!
So i recently started noticing something odd about my facial hair, in the sense that these “mutant” hairs started cropping up.
The photo doesnt come close to doing it justice though. Normally i have a mixture of blonde, brown, ginger and even white hairs (jokingly referring to it as my magic gumball beard), but over the past year or so i have these weird uber hairs.
Some time ago i noticed just the one, dismissing it as maybe one old hair growing back funky, but they seem to by cropping up a lot more. They are pitch black, about double the thickness, rigid and super tough. (Again, picture comes nowhere near close to doing it justice)
I know for a fact i didnt have this before due to mild trichotyllomania (ocd), so it got me wondering. Is this just one of those weird things that your body decides to do as you get older because ???, or could this be a sign of something health related? (Vitamin deficiency, poor sleep or something i dunno.)
I couldnt find anything online so curious to hear if anyone else has any similar experiences.
Thanks in advance!
