subject: Do You Trim Your Nose Hair For Best Appearance? [print this page] My first thought was to keep the manufacturers of nose hair trimmers in business, but then found this ...
"Nose hair does indeed have a purpose, and it is not to keep the manufacturers of nose hair trimmers in business. Nose hair is one of the body's first lines of defense against harmful environmental pathogens such as germs, fungus and spores. When a person inhales unfiltered air through his or her nose, he or she is also inhaling whatever solid particles are contained in that air. The thicket of nose hair contained in each nostril helps to trap the larger particles in a sticky layer of mucus. This is why hygienists discourage people from completely eliminating their nose hair while grooming".
Yet excessive nose hair may be considered unsightly, it should never be completely removed. Those who choose to remove almost all of their nose hair may find themselves very vulnerable to allergy attacks, sinusitis and respiratory infections. Nose hair serves the same filtering purpose as ear hair, both of which may become a little overgrown as time goes by.
Having excess nose hair can result in embarrassing social situations and self-consciousness.
Nose hair removal can be a very different process than hair removal on other parts of the body. Not only is the area harder to access and more difficult to see, but the skin lining the nose is also very thin, sensitive, and delicate. Perform your nose hair removal in a bright area, preferably using a lit mirror, such as a makeup or vanity mirror, and clean, disinfected tools. Also, leave enough nose hair that it can still act as a natural filter and protect you from inhaling chemicals, pollutants, and floating debris. Generally, remove only the nose hairs that are visible from the outside and leave the hairs higher up in the nostrils.
Trimming nose hair can be done by a trimmer conveniently at home but great care should be used to prevent infection or irritation from ingrown hairs. The fact is you must know very well as to how a trimmer should be used. Without knowing about trimmer, you cannot trim your nose hair. For those who do not use a trimmer, they can use natural methods to get rid of hair.
Another point is the growth of nasal hair is restrictive and it cannot grow long and lengthy. So, it helps you in sneezing and some times when you sneeze nasal hair also is released through sneezing. So always ensure to give natural health to your nose and allow your body to function just as it likes and do not make it cumbersome.
Last but not the least, you can consult a dermatologist and seek advice as to how the growth of nasal hair can be prevented and can take proper diet and medicine to stop the excessive growth of nasal hair. You must ensure proper guidance and advice of dermatologist.
