Nose hairs. You’ve got ’em. Everyone does and if you don’t believe us take a look. They’re there. But they don’t have to be. Well, at least not in an unruly, long and sticking out of your nostrils kind of way. We know, it’s gross. But it doesn’t have to be. Not when you have the experts at Conair’s know-how (and their handy dandy The Barbershop Pro Metal Series Diamond Head Nose and Ear Trimmer) regarding how to safely trim your danglers so that they’re out of sight. Here’s what you need to know.
Why the hair, up there?
Sure, they can be unsightly, but according to the Canadian Dermatology Association, nose hairs actually contribute to your overall health. Their primary purpose is to act as a first line of defense against environmental pollutants, dust and pathogens by trapping particles to prevent them from entering into your respiratory system, which reduces your risk of infection and allergies. Men tend to have more and longer nose hairs than women thanks to higher levels of testosterone, so trimming them is always a good idea.
The pros at Conair share how to keep your nose hairs in check, using The Barbershop Pro Metal Series Diamond Head Nose and Ear Trimmer
Step 1: Preparation
- Choose a Well-lit Area: Make sure you have good lighting (not a flickering bulb in the basement bathroom) to see what you’re doing clearly.
- Clean the Trimmer: Before you use them, make sure the trimmer is clean and properly assembled. If it’s your first time, read the manual thoroughly. Do not wing it.
- Mirror: Use a mirror, preferably a magnifying one, to get a clear view of the inside of your nostrils.
Step 2: Trimming
- Turn on the Trimmer: Switch on Conair’s Diamond Head Trimmer. It’s designed for ease of use with its ergonomic grip and precise trimming head.
- Gentle Approach: Insert the trimmer gently into one nostril. Avoid pushing it in too far to prevent discomfort or injury.
- Circular Motion: Use a circular motion to trim the hairs evenly. The trimmer’s diamond-shaped head is crafted to reach all angles to ensure a thorough trim.
- Repeat: The process with the other nostril.
Step 3: Aftercare
- Clean the Trimmer: After use, clean the trimmer as per the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain hygiene and ensure the longevity of the device.
- Check for Stray Hairs: Use the mirror to check if any hairs were missed and trim them as needed.
The experts at Conair’s Important Do’s and Don’ts
Do
- Trim Regularly: Incorporate nose hair trimming into your regular grooming routine to avoid overgrowth.
- Do Use Proper Tools: Always use a dedicated nose hair trimmer like Conair’s for safety and effectiveness.
- Clean the Trimmer: Ensure the trimmer is cleaned after each use to prevent infections and maintain functionality.
Don’t
- Use Scissors: Like, ever. They can cause injury and are not as precise as a trimmer.
- Pluck: Never pluck nose hairs, seriously. Plucking can lead to infections and ingrown hairs, and no-one wants that.
- Over-Trim: Only trim visible hairs. Over-trimming can reduce your nose’s ability to filter out dust and pathogens effectively.
