What do you do about nose and ear hair?

I trim it as frequently as I trim my beard, with the ear/nose attachment to my electric bear trimmer.

I should really invest in a trimmer like @MrItty said since I’m constantly pulling nose hairs out. I’m not sure about the ears, but the nose hairs tickle my nose when I breath and I can’t stand that, lol.

@MrItty Wow, just how big is an electric bear trimmer? How big does that make your nostrils?

My waxing lady waxes out my nose hair. It actually hurts less than my lip.

@Snarp you should see me from the neck down… :-P

The take comfort from being so blind I can’t see them. When I’m driving along and happen to feel one, I road map it. Latitude and longitude, then I blindly start waxing from arsehole to appetite making sure to hit the pin I placed on my map.

@Silhouette wait I’m confused. Are you talking about GPS or hair?

Nothing. I truly don’t give a shit about my appearance.

@AxemusBoth, I can’t see well anymore so I have to landmark the hair or it will continue to grow and grow and grow.

@MrItty But seriously, what’s the make and model on your trimmer? I don’t want to spend hard earned money again on something that won’t work.

I suppose you can have a barber trim it…or….because New Year’s is coming,let the nose hair fly at midnight as a festive party favor!!
Happy Ne Year! :))

I have a beard trimmer and haircutter that came with an attachment for trimming nose and ear hair. I found that attachment didn’t work well on mine.

So I bought a trimmer by Conair made specifically for those places. If I remember correctly, I got it at Wal Mart. If you don’t have a Wal Mart in your area, check a large drug store.

@Snarp ; Snip.

@lucillelucillelucille lol wtf??

I thought you were never to pluck nose hairs b/c there have been cases of ppl getting ingrown hairs/infection that ended up nearly killing them from infections spreading to the sinus cavity & brain or something like that…. Don’t take it for gold… I don’t remember who told me- so it could be a load of bologna.

@Axemusica -If you’ve got it,flaunt it!Breathe in-breathe out!Quickly now!!HNY!!

Join the club. Snip snip, trim trim.

@Snarp just for you, I went upstairs and looked. It’s a Phillips Norelco G380

@Georgia_Printco that sounds a lot like how my mother used to tell me if I swallow a peach pit, a tree will start growing in my stomach…

@MrItty bahhh, I see no price there!

@MrItty Thanks. Darn Amazon and their “Currently unavailable”. I’m still not sure that rotary business will work, but maybe the one I had was just low quality. I’m due for a new beard trimmer anyway, so I’ll look for one with a nose hair attachment.

@Axemusica sorry, I just went to the first hit from Google. Here, try Froogle instead.

Mine’s old, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Philips has a later model they’re selling now.

Hmmm this looks like it. 30 bucks, not bad not bad.

This is a first for me as I never have answered a question here twice…regarding nose hair:Not everbody can afford the K1000 nose hair annihilator so I offer up this “free” suggestion.Slam the offending hair in a friend’s car trunk then wave goodbye!You are now GQ!

Let it grow you never know when you will need that comb over! ;-)

@Cruiser oh god I hope you mean the ears, lol.

@lucillelucillelucille Dang Girl!! I just back from the barber and had I seen your earlier answer I would still have party favors!! Great idea for next year…couple of colored ribbons and HNY!! Woooo Hooo!

@Cruiser Your barber trims your nose hairs?

@Snarp No of course I wouldn’t have them trimmed they just grow back!! I have them waxed!

@Cruiser -and don’t try pulling on them in a desperate attempt to get those party favors!

So let me get this straight. @all who said waxing nose hairs….. You put wax inside your nostrils?

Waxing!Great idea!You can tilt your head back and shoot those wax “bullets” at a photo of your favorite mother-in-law!

@lucillelucillelucille: You have more than one m-i-l?

@Axemusica, @lucillelucillelucille , Too messy…tapered candles work GREAT! Only stings for a sec!

@gailcalled -Unfortunately no:(It’s always good to have a spare in case you run out! ;)

Hot wax in my nostrils? I think I’ll try @MrItty‘s trimmer first.

What about a “Flowbe”??

My husband pulls them, or trims them with little scissors. (nose hairs, he doesn’t have unruly ear hair) I don’t have this issue.

@Snarp-Or what about chewing gum?It won’t burn and you can blow double-bubbles to entertain the kids until the final countdown!;)

Seriously…. wax?

@Snarp I’m with you on this, lol.

@lucillelucillelucille….ooooh! Gum not good….What if it got stuck up there that would stay there for 7 Years!!! LOL!

@cruiser-
Always pack your nostrils with peanut butter first!I thought everybody knew that!

@lucillelucillelucille NOW I find out…that freon treatment was costly and painful!!

@Cruiser -Just because Spock had his ear hair done with freon ray guns doesn’t mean you have to follow suit!
Just grow it long enough to make a bow tie for your New Year’s tux!

@lucillelucillelucille Like I said….Had I know I would have been set…Looks like a clip on tomorrow night!

The wax in your nostrils really doesn’t hurt as bad as I thought it would. It’s great.

@Cruiser -Clip ons are cheezy!Here!I’ll hold my two cats up to your face while you inhale…I advise you to hyperventilate first so you can hold your breath ‘til midnight!
Your nose hair will be the envy of Sasquatch!

@Judi -You are so right!I think they should try it!;))

@lucillelucillelucille Thanks a bunch for the loaners…I won’t make this same mistake next year!! Think anyone will notice they don’t match??

@Judi Btw stay away from the apple cinnamon scented candles… a bit much for me… the vanilla or jasmine ones are much nicer.

I so do LOVE plucking my nose hairs.
It makes me tear.

@Cruiser -Be a fashion rebel!Everyone knows that you don’t have to have matching cats!
@ChazMaz -and I’ll cry if you pluck ‘em and they sound like a bad banjo!Hey can you play “Smoke On the Water”??

More like a Violin being plucked. :-)

That is truly beautiful!!can you play “Smoke on the Water”??—

I don’t have the nose/ear hair problem but once I turned 40 (It’s been a while now) I started to notice that I was growing stray eyebrows on my chin. I guess they are too old and tired to climb all the way up my face to my eyes. I just pluck them forbid them come back….................they don’t listen though

@baileysmom12 ; I hate to be the one to tell you this, but wait a few years. Once your eyes start to go the nose hairs are not far behind. Thank goodness for blunt daughters and a tactful wax lady.

@Judi Amen!! My daughter is painfully honest about my little chin ‘problem’. She’ll tell me, ‘Mom there’s one on there long enough to use as a jump rope!!” Belss her little heart!

@MrItty You mean thats not true?!?!?!?! lol Now that I think of it, it might HAVE been my mom who said that.

I never found rotary trimmers to be useful until I bought a stainless steel manual one. It pulls a little, but it is neat, clean and effective and disassembles easily for sanitizing. I own this one

I trim the hair outside the nose and ears, but leave the inside alone, since it is a good germ filter.

@pdworkin ouch, that looks like a medieval tool for destroying or removing the brain. I’m curious, does the speed at which you, manually use it have an effect on how often it pulls?

It’s manual; aim and twist, it’s not terribly uncomfortable when it does tug, and it does not tug most of the time. I find it very efficient. It takes me a few minutes once a week to stay trimmed.
