Random hair at the temple

So i was looking in the mirror today after i buzzed my hair.. and theres this random dark hair that has appeared in the middle of nowhere at my temple. Its the darnest thing.. has this happened to anyone?

It happened to me after 3 months of minoxidil use and then got better after a year. Check out my pics in my Story from years back, you have any before after pics? That's great news and I hope you have continued regrowth.

Yep I got the same thing, single thick dark hair right in the middle of nowhere. I regularly wet-shave it off cos it is actually noticeable if someone looks close enough!

It appeared pretty early after I started on minoxidil (about week 6) though sadly 4 1/2 months later it's still kinda stranded on its own there. I have grown a few other dark hairs, which are slightly away from the hair-line but none as far as that one.

I like it, seems like a symbol of hope heh

Hairline looks good brother. I wish you continued success. unk:

That side definitely has a more defined hairline. The other side the hairline is kind of "spread out" like it fades into thick hair, with some thinner intermediate hair spread around.

But on this temple in the pic i used to have a patch of hair shaped like a triangle that was noticeably thinner than the rest of the hair. It was part of the middle section of hair. When my hair was longer i could comb it over and in direct light you could definitely see some scalp straight through the hair. Since i've been buzzing my head i've slowly noticed this patch disappear, in that it began to look thick like the the rest of the hair.

Hopefully the hair on the other side follows that trend. I've got pictures of that temple in my hair loss blog.

I rebuzzed my hair a couple days ago and was able to snap a really good photo of this phenomenon.
