I've got nasal hair 😭

[Bemyclementine]

I've just , almost, got to grips with having a chin hair. Keep feeling a tickle in my nostril. It's hair!!

What do you do about this?? Swiftly realised plucking is not the way forward, eyes watering, pain, sneezing....

Everyone has nose hair, it's there to stop stuff like pollen and dust going up (I think)

How have you only just noticed you have it?

Nasal hair trimmer. Apparently. According to a friend.

Totally normal it's part of your body's defence system. Perhaps you are just more observant right now.

I think I also had a rogue nasal hair it tickled (I pulled it out - agree that’s not any way forward!!)

Nose and ear hair trimmer?

Sorry, yes I knew there were hairs. They've never hung out of my nostris before!

Best check your ears too OP...

@Speedweed I have a long standing problem with a very fine hair that grows out of my left ear. Despite regular searching, I can never find it until its at least 3inches long. Thankfully it's very fine.

Everyone has nostril hair. It is the first defence against nasties getting up your nose.
I can understand why someone would not want stragglers hanging about and saying hello to everyone, but I don't think it is healthy or should be encouraged to get the whole lot waxed out of existence.

Does it hurt much? I mean plucking my nose is as a bad as childbirth...😭 waxing must be agony!??

First couple of times I plucked it was agony, not so bad now and so handy as I can do it as soon as I notice. Luckily don't seem to grow as fast as chin hairs.

I was about to say nose waxing was a thing a few years ago

Laser hair removal. Actually, we had someone in today who had just their nostrils done.

How do they get it up the nose?

Nothing's put up the nose, the laser's aimed at the inside of the nostril - lower area only, of course.

I use nail scissors to trim them. Just be careful!
