Nose hairs

Nose hairs
Over the last few years, my nose hairs have really started going for it. My sister bought me a Remington nose hair trimmer a couple of Christmases ago, but I find I can never get all the buggers. I'll suddenly become aware of one protruding from my nostril when I wipe my nose or have a scratch, and then I get obsessed by it and it bugs me until I pull it out (which is pretty difficult to do with my stubby fingers). So in addition to having unsightly nose hairs sprouting forth, I probably also look like I spend a lot of time picking my nose, which I don't.
Does anyone have a cure? Can I get my nostrils waxed?

Re: Nose hairs
Get some eyebrow tweezers.
I think the theory goes that if you keep plucking them out, the follicles weaken and the hairs stop growing eventually.

Re: Nose hairs
I've been running on this same assumption/hope. I've managed to pretty consistently yank them out with my thumb and forefinger though, but tweezers are good if you have a huge thatch up there you want shot of.Karen Pearson wrote:Get some eyebrow tweezers.

Re: Nose hairs
More than anything, tweezing is great fun. Not sure about whether it thins them out eventually, it's just great fun. I cry for a while afterwards.
Re: Nose hairs
I did a big tweezering session last night (having found the tweezers we thought had been missing for the last few months). I could still feel a little curly hair with my fingers that I just couldn't see or seem to be able to get hold of with the tweezers. After seemingly evacuating the whole area bar this one little curl of hair, I was really unsure whether what I had in the tweezers was actually a hair, or whether I was starting to pull away bits of lining or blood vessels, so I got a bit scared to yank and stopped.Matt Morrison wrote:More than anything, tweezing is great fun.

It makes my nose run, and then brings on a big sneezing fit. But yeah, it is quite fun.

Re: Nose hairs
Yep, fingers for the biggies, tweezers for the awkward ones. I find that the bigger deeper ones don't make my eyes water as much as the ones round the entrance.
Next worry upcoming: ear hair. I found a hair pushing towards an inch long on the mini-lobe in front of my lugoil. Can't understand how I didn't notice it, unless it grew in the space of a few days. Luckily it wasn't thick and black.

Re: Nose hairs
Best thing for these, as well as ear hairs is to be patient and wait a few years. As you get old(er) you don't give a shit.

Re: Nose hairs
Nose hair problem has been definitely getting out of hand. Tried shaving round the edge of my nose with a wet razor but that just seemed to make them angry and give me loads of cuts on the rim of nose. Found my first ear hair today ... may as well break out the shotgun I am fucking passed it.

Yeah, even I don't have ear hairs yet, and I'm way older than you.David O'Donnell wrote:Nose hair problem has been definitely getting out of hand.

It gets worse ... it was ginger ... well ginger ... plutonium ginger (that's probably not even a variety of ginger).Jon Corby wrote:Yeah, even I don't have ear hairs yet, and I'm way older than you.David O'Donnell wrote:Nose hair problem has been definitely getting out of hand.

PS you're two years older tops and I have hair on practically every part of my body bar the part where it actually counts, yeah that's right: pubic hair.

Re: Nose hairs
I think I can be the one to confirm that plutonium ginger isn't a "variety" of ginger. It's either ginger ot it isn't.David O'Donnell wrote:It gets worse ... it was ginger ... well ginger ... plutonium ginger (that's probably not even a variety of ginger).Jon Corby wrote:Yeah, even I don't have ear hairs yet, and I'm way older than you.David O'Donnell wrote:Nose hair problem has been definitely getting out of hand.

Re: Nose hairs
There must a reason for nasal and ear hair. Is it to act as strainers to prevent entry of floating matter? Or was it the residue of the past, when we might have looked like gorillas?David O'Donnell wrote:I knew there was no such colour as "strawberry blonde."Ryan Taylor wrote: I think I can be the one to confirm that plutonium ginger isn't a "variety" of ginger.

Re: Nose hairs
Not as far as I am aware! Although you do see the odd old lady with some chin hair!
But a friend, who is a (fair) bit older than me, tells me that in some places women's hair starts to thin out.
