I've been growing extra long nose hairs that tickle me and annoy me like crazy. I've been plucking them out (ouch!). I never grew these when I was younger, and I wish they would stop growing.

Is there a pill I can take for these? Why am I growing these now? Being old sucks.

Get a trimmer. Most department stores have them. Or a Brookstone/Sharper Image if they have them in your town.

I have a set of hair clippers, are nose clippers much different in design?

If you trim them with one of the things made for the task they will be like sharp little stillettos in your nostrils.

Tweezers and regular maintenence is my suggestion as being the only way.

Then, keep an eye on the ears!
Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?

Set fire to them. Any match or lighter will do - its cheap and effective, and trims them waaaay back.

Flesh burns are a tad inconvenient, but you can get used to anything in the name of fashion.

First you grow unwanted hair in your nose. Soon you will grow unwanted hair in your ears and on your back.

I'm starting to grow ear hair, I've had some sporadic back hair for a while...


All this trim/pluck stuff is useful, but I'd rather just take a pill. Do you guys know of a pill I can take?

Do they have nair (no-hair) in a pill form. side effects include hair loss in all parts of the body. there is also chemotherapy.(not to make a mockery of something serious like cancer though)
There is a pill for anything, and if there isn't, there is a pill for happiness. So you won't care.

Light a candle and very carefully and gently sniff on the flame.

Warning: This a permanent solution for the problem, in doing so you may damage the nose forever if you are not careful.

Just discovered this thread. Nosehairs. The scurge of mankind. I have long 'spider leggs' my wife calls them creeping out of my nose sometimes. I've got one of those rotary clippers and that bugger tickles like there is no tomorrow, but it works! Sounds like one of those mosquito zappers going crazy in a swamp...

Welcome to adulthood. Now don't do what I did: I managed to get all my facial hair -AND my nose hairs- burned off about 20 years ago by a propane water heater (Note of warning: propane does NOT behave like natural gas!). Now my eyebrows are "interesting" and my nose hairs grow in at odd angles. This requires special attention to "personal grooming" to keep from being a conversation piece behind my back.

Use a small pair of scissors to trim what sticks out. Use a "personal trimmeer" (I like the little electric ones) to manage what doesn't stick out yet.

If you at first don't succeed, try again!

BTW, use a candle next time.

Just wear them with pride. If every man did that, then none of us would have to bother with trimming them.

No! The chicks would then start wearing their armpit hair with pride, and we don't want that, do we?

I just use small scissors... takes about 30 seconds total to work my way around the inner rims of both nostrils.

Will prolonged lasing with a laser pointer work? It may just help to make them fall off easy, may be with the next sneeze...just wondering.

Whats the use of nose hairs? Can one transplant them to the head when one goes bald? May be this is why God made nose hairs and hairs in places where there is no requirement for any particular function...
