Hair Out of Place

Little hairs in certain cases,
are expected that we might see.
Arms and legs are common places,
as well as hair upon our faces.
On top of head, if no traces,
accepting bald, is what you'll be.

Lots of time, as well as money,
coif the hair, in styles aplenty.
Some may use in terms of measure,
when found in food, a real displeasure!

Little hairs sometimes on end,
results of cold, or perhaps frightened.
Little hairs grow as brows,
enhance the lashes, we do espouse.

But when we age, some do appear,
as little tufts upon the ear.
We all spend time giving chase, 
of little hairs out of place.

Thanks Jan, you are right, I didn't cover all situations, but the ending pretty much does. I once had a little wispy hair growing out of the middle of my eyelid!
