Nose hair

I have all of a sudden gotten prominent nose hair. I'm blaming being in my mid 40's. Do I pluck or trim it? This is an issue I've never had to consider before!

Don't pluck it - it can cause infection that triggers the rare brain blood clot that the covid vaccine has been possibly implemented in.

Trim with small scissors.

I've just trimmed - I daren't pluck! I imagine it is very painful

Buy a nose hair trimmer! Takes seconds and makes such a difference!

I use OHs nose hair trimmer too.

My waxer waxes mine... it feels like being punched in the nose!

I might invest in one. I feel like it hasn't had much effect trimming.

Nose hair is there to trap bacteria and stop it going any further. Please don’t wax it!

I wax mine. Easy, not that painful and really satisfying. I use smooth appeal- you can get it from boots or amazon. The non microwave one is a pain to heat up but much more effective.

Snip mine with nail scissors. I can't imagine plucking or waxing - my god!

Waxing is plucking really - it does carry a risk of infection and must make you sneeze like buggery

I have bought a nostril waxing kit.

Haven't had the nerve to use it yet though Grin

I wouldn't be brave enough to try it. I'll stick to the nail scissors 😂
