Now that you’re here, we can start talking about something that doesn’t often get acknowledged in polite company:

OUR NOSE HAIRS ARE TOO LONG

They’re unkempt and unruly. They stick out of our nostrils and distract people. Sometimes, they catch things that hang suspended at the threshold of our nostrils and people are too polite to point out what our nose hairs have caught a hold of.

Long nose hairs sticking out of our nose–that’s no way for a (wo)man to go through life.

And so, we have options.

Your Nose Trimming Options,
Reduced Down to the Two Best

Option 1: Pluck Your Own Nose Hairs

This guy needs a nose hair trimmer.

Once you give up on trying to pull your own nose hairs using your fingers, it’s all about the tweezers.

If you’re here checking out this site, then you’ve likely already been practicing the tweezer method for removing stray nose hairs. How’s it working out for you?

I’ll tell you what it’s been like for me: it’s painful, I start crying in the middle of doing it (not because I can’t take the pain…it’s just that my eyes tear up whenever I mess with my nose). It takes time. I don’t always succeed in getting all the too-long nose hairs. Sometimes I go overboard and remove too many nose hairs and then dust and other floaty particles get all up in my nasal passages and make me cough.

Yes, it’s a tough going trying to rely on tweezers for your nose hair removal.

And that brings us, finally, to our second possible nose hair removal method.

Option 2: Use a Nose Hair Trimmer

Welcome to the 21st century, in which we have all manner of useful gadget to help us where before we used to have to help ourselves.

In the case of the nose hair trimmer, we’re very, very lucky. This thing makes the whole process of maintaining a suave-looking nostril area extremely easy.

Here’s how a nose hair trimmer works: you grab it in your favorite hand, you turn it on, you gently but insistently stick it into first one nostril and then the other, and you make sure to get those annoyingly long nose hairs right in the whirling blades at the tip of the trimmer.

Before you start getting scared: no, you can’t hurt yourself with a nose hair trimmer. Those hair-trimming blades are protected by a metal casing that guarantees you will only trim nose hairs. Your nose will emerge unscathed. Trust me.

Recommended Nose Hair Trimmers

Once you’ve decided to take the plunge and go for a trimmer, it’s time to comparison shop. Which ones are best and what are the differences between them?

Now, neither you nor I want to dwell on the odd fact that our hair is migrating around our bodies from places where we liked it to places where we don’t so much like it.

So I’m not going to produce a comprehensive take on every possible nose hair trimmer here. I’m going to point you to the one nose hair trimmer I’d buy if I was on the market for one.

You can check out my trimmer reviews if you want to go deeper and check out other options.

But if you’re like me, you tap into your prehistoric hunter part of your brain when you need a tool to take care of a specific job. You mean business, and you don’t need to get all touchy-feely with the different features of the various nose hair trimmer models currently available.

Here, then, is my number one choice for the only nose hair trimmer you’ll ever need.

Buy This One:
The Panasonic ER-430K
Vacuum Nose/Facial Hair Trimmer

This is the nose hair trimmer you want to get. Trust me.

I’m going to answer your questions about this trimmer before you even have them. Here we go:

You: Will this thing trim my nose hairs?

Me: Absolutely. Most of the trimmers you’ll find will work just fine. But this one is sturdy, takes a beating, is battery powered so you can take it with you and, best of all, it has a tiny vacuum that sucks trimmed hairs so they don’t clog up your nose or fall onto your lips.

You: The Panasonic ER-430K has a vacuum on it?

Me: Yes. That’s its main selling point beyond just being a solid nose hair trimmer. Your closest alternative for a useful feature that makes a trimmer a cut above the average is the Panasonic ER-421KC, which has a tiny light that illuminates your cavernous nostril spaces. But personally? I’d go for the vacuum feature over the tiny light feature every time.

You: What else can the ER-430K do?

Me: Well, it’s theoretically capable of trimming other errant facial hairs. You might also get it to trim ear hairs if you need help trimming hairs there. I don’t see the facial hair trimming capability to be all that useful. I just use a razor or my dedicated electric razor for that. This thing is designed to trim nose hairs, and that’s what it does best.

You: How do I clean it when I’m through using it for the day?

Me: You can dunk the ER-430K into water and it won’t be damaged (nor will it electrocute you, which is a huge plus). So clean-up is a snap. Just run water over the tip and any hairs clinging to the trimmer will wash off.

You: This thing sounds pretty darn fantastic. Is there anything you don’t like about it?

Me: Honestly? No. The ER-430K does what it’s supposed to do. It trims your nose hairs. It does its job well. It vacuum-sucks the tiny hairs out from my nostrils. It’s portable. It runs off of one AA battery. That one battery lasts seemingly forever (assuming you don’t have a super hirsute nose situation going on). This is the nose hair trimmer to get if you’re going to get a nose hair trimmer.

You: Right on. Thanks for sharing all of this information here. It was really helpful!

Me: My pleasure! Bros gotta help each other out! This nose hair stuff is ridiculous!!
