How to Remove Nose Hair

Nose hair serves a purpose: it helps to trap dirt and filter the air you breathe. But noticeable nose hair is unattractive and can be a source of embarrassment. Safely removing unsightly nose hair can greatly improve someone's overall appearance. There are special scissors designed for trimming nose hair, and small electric or battery operated devices that trim away the unwanted hair.

Things You'll Need

• Nose hair trimmer

Instructions

1. Purchase a trimmer designed specifically for trimming nose hair. Don't be tempted to pull the nose hair out with a tweezers or push a sharp scissors up your nostrils. Use a grooming tool designed specifically for the task.

2. Sanitize the trimmer prior to use. Even if the trimmer has never been used, it is a good idea to sanitize it before use.

3. Wash your nostril area to remove any foreign matter or mucus that may be in the way.

4. Read the instructions that come with your nose trimmer. There are manual and electric nose trimmers. Typically the nose trimmer is turned on and inserted in the nostril as it trims the hair with a rotating blade.

5. Move the electric or battery-operated trimmer gently in a circular motion over the hair in the nostril. Do not push up into the nose; trim the visible hair by inserting just the tip of the trimmer into the nostril.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't trim your nose hair if you have a cold or runny nose.
