Q: multiple hairs in one follicle on face and chest

Today I used one of those Biore pore cleaning strips that you put on the top of your nose that pull out the blackheads. I had what myself and my fiancee thought were ALOT of blackheads. Upon removal of the strip, which was COVERED with thick, dark "blackheads" my fiancee took a closer look and discovered that they were not blackheads at all. They were actually tiny "tufts" of hair. When looking at each thick, dark hair, it became apparent that it wasnt just one hair, it was 3-5 hairs together in one follicle or pore in this case. She noticed that I had the same thing on my chest a few months ago. Tiny, smaller than a centimeter long, THICK, dark hairs. She decided to pluck one from my chest because she had never seen a hair so thick and wondered why it didnt grow and curl like the rest of my chest hair, and it almost just slid right out. Looking closer, again each "hair" turned out to be many tiny hairs together. It didnt seem strange at the time because it was just "chest hair" but now to find these same "tufts" on the top of my nose, that which I assumed were blackheads all this time. Is there a name for this and should I be worried?

Cluster hairs are normal. On most people they are blond go unnoticed. Both men and women have them.
