It is a strange thing that as you get older, hair begins to disappear in places you would like it to be, and begins to grow in places you absolutely do not want it. Your back, shoulders, ears and especially your nose.
There's actually nothing wrong with nose hair. But when it gets so long that it sticks out your nostrils, it can be a major turn-off. It just looks very unkempt if I have to put it in a nuanced way. Fortunately, there are several ways to remove nose hairs. Still, not all ways are so good for your nose. In fact, you can get quite a bit of trouble if you do it wrong. Therefore, we recommend that you shorten only those hairs that are too long.
Why not remove all nose hairs?
The nose hairs are there for a reason. All people have nose hairs for a good reason. It is meant to keep dirt out of your nasal cavity. Should you remove all the hairs, all the dirt and dust can easily accumulate in your nasal cavity. Bacteria then have a free hand. It can lead to infections and inflammations. And that's really no fun in your nose. Therefore, keep them up. Don't remove them completely.
What is the best way to remove nose hairs?
Okay, so don't remove them completely. Just the hairs that are too long. So how do you do it? There are several ways to remove nose hairs. But some ways we strongly advise against. All ways that pull out your nose hairs are not good and can even be dangerous.
Why you shouldn't pull out your nose hairs
In your nasal cavity, hairs are attached with hair follicles. When you pull out a hair, you pull the hair out of the follicle, leaving an open wound. In that wound, bacteria can settle which can cause serious infections. Also, before you know it, you have a nasal cavity infection. An infection in your nose can easily travel to the brain which can have even more serious consequences.
Don't wax or tweeze nose hairs
So don't get started with tweezers. Epilating nose hairs with tweezers is just pulling the hairs out. It's also better not to wax your nose hairs. With this you are pulling everything out which has double the risk. All the hairs will be out and your nasal cavity will be completely open and unprotected, while you will have all the open wounds in your nose from waxing. Besides, tweezing or waxing is also not exactly the most pleasant way of nose hair removal.
