Nose Hair
Dec 2004
I seem to have reached that disgusting point in life when the
hair in my nose is determined to announce its presence to the
greater world. I have seen lots of ads for electric clippers
designed for just such uses. My question is: If one clips
them, do they grow back bigger, badder, & coarser? If so, is
there another way to deal with this? And if the electric
approach is the best one, any suggestions re: the best
product? thanks,
harry
Join the club, Harry (Hairy?). I've found the mechanical and
the electric trimmers to be a complete waste of money. They all
tug and hurt. I have two approaches. Sometimes I pluck on my
own with a pair of tweezers. Yeah, it stings, but you get used
to it. Or, find a pair of small scissors (I forgot what the
type is called, maybe ''cuticle scissors'') with blunt (very
important, sharp things inside nose are not good) tips and just
trim the hairs periodically. They don't come back any thicker
or coarser in my experience, and by manipulating your nose (it's
just cartilage and pretty flexible), you can cut pretty close to
the base without running the risk of nicking yourself.
Hairy (not Harry) too
My husband 'acquired' the same problem. I bought him the
Panasonic nose (and ear) trimmer from Brookstone several years
ago and it works like a charm. I don't know whether the hair
grows back thicker - it's not visible :)
