How To Remove Nose Hair: Do’s And Dont’s

Why do we have nose hair?

We’ve always been told that it’s because hair prevents foreign bodies and dust from entering our body, and that’s absolutely true. Hair acts as a filter for our nostrils. But you should not confuse cilia (eyelashes) with hairs in the nose. Cilia are small microscopic threads and they raise a liquid known as mucus with the help of capillaries in the epithelium. During exhalation, we trap moisture and maintain the humidity level, and during inhalation, this trapped moisture moistens the air we inhale. This moisture also lubricates the delicate nasal membrane.

Reason why should never pluck nose hair!

You automatically open the “door” to harmful substances that now enter the body more easily, and if you happen to have a small open wound caused by plucking, you create fertile ground for even stronger spread of bacteria and inflammation.
Hair can grow in, and if you’ve ever experienced it on a more “open” part of your body, try to imagine the discomfort if a hair grows deep in your nostril.
Have you ever heard of the dangerous triangle on the face? Imagine a line that joins the line of your lips and ends in the area between the eyes. It is the triangle on the face where we have a lot of blood vessels, and as they are directly connected to the blood flow that goes to the brain, all infections in the area of that triangle are more risky than others because the blood vessels are directly connected to the brain.

People like to ‘pick’ inside their noses. If you pluck the hair from your nose, blood will appear. Blood allows the bacteria in your nose to multiply. Since the veins in the facial area lack ‘safety valves’, bacteria can theoretically enter the bloodstream and lead to infection elsewhere in the body. “Never pull your nose hairs.”

Nose hair is a problem that can sneak up on you unexpectedly. What’s worse, no electric shaver, razor , beard trimmer or scissors will be able to help you with this problem – at least not without adequate attachments. If you want to make sure that you get it right, you can get a trimmer that is specially designed to deal with the problem of nose hair. From full-body shavers with the necessary attachments to trimmers designed to reach those hard-to-reach places, below you can find the device that’s best for you and your needs.

Generally men have to face this problem of excess nose hair more than women. Hair growth is under the control of estrogen (a female hormone) produced by both men and women, but men much less so they have more hair in general. And because of this, we can mostly find nose hair trimmers only for men on the market.

Is trimming nose hair painful?

Nose hair trimmers are more or less completely painless and certainly less painful than tweezers or nostril waxing. But you should know how to use it properly for the best results. After inserting the device into the nose, you just gently press the nostrils. Then rotate the device left or right to trim the hairs you see. Then do the same on the other nostril. It’s really a very simple procedure. Likewise, most nose hair trimmers will work wonders on ears, and the longer blades of some trimmers can also be used to trim eyebrows.

Here are the best examples that you won’t be able to go wrong with.
