How to Trim Nostril Hair
You could probably figure this one out on your own, but a few quick tips might spare your nose a bit of discomfort.
1. Stand in front of a mirror with a pair of small scissors in your hand.
2. Lean your head back slightly and tug up the edge of one nostril.
3. Carefully clip away any extraneous hair with the scissors. Clip the hair close to its base, if possible.
4. Look in the mirror and inspect your work. Touch up as necessary.
5. Repeat with other nostril.
6. Wipe your nose and wash the scissors.
Tips: You can use electric nose hair trimmers instead of scissors. Avoid putting the scissors too far into your nose.
Warnings: Cutting the inside of your nose hurts. Be cautious with the scissors.
Nostril Trimming Tips From Dedicated Depilators
Scissors : Use rounded-tip scissors to prevent cutting the inner skin of your nose. Lock the door to avoid disruption from others coming around.
Nail clippers : I use nail clippers, the old fashioned kind with big handles (they look like wire cutters, but smaller). The ends aren't as pointy as scissors, so they don't scratch the skin as much. Because you grip with your whole hand not just your fingers, you have much more control over the cutting pressure, so you can squeeze just enough to cut the hairs but without danger of cutting into the skin. I've tried the dedicated electric nose hair clippers with the round concentric circle blade and guard. They work and are quicker but don't get the hair trimmed as close to the base, and tend to leave a few straggling hairs so you have to use them more often. Also, cleaning them is more involved. I feel obligated to clean anything I stick up into my nose every time I'm done.
Battery operated trimmer : Invest in a nose hair trimmer (which can be found at most discount stores). They are so much faster and safer to use than scissors or tweezers (and there is no pain).
Remington hair trimmer : Get a Remington Precision nose and ear trimmer. It's great for upper lip hair and nose hair.
Facial hair trimmer : I use the same small electric trimmer on my nose hairs that I use to maintain my sideburns. It's a lot faster and easier than struggling with 25 different scissor angles.
Just grab and pull : I used to cut close to the skin but found that the hair grew out more stiff and caused greater irritation. I now just grab the offending hair(s) and yank them out.
