Nose Hair- How often do you groom? (1 Viewer)

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

In what was a yearly ritual in my 20's, turned more frequent as i turned 30 and now, Jesus, its like twice a week. I can't get away from it, a thorough trim and there's a fresh thatch just waiting again. Its really unreal. My big question for those older FBGers, is this life now? Is this what it means to get old, that you either have a moustache starting in your nostrils or you have to use constant vigilance?

I have an ear hair now too!

I'm turning into an old guy!

 

[Walton Goggins]

I hear you. Asked my cousin (older) the other day what he does and he says he plucks them all out. I tried that and my eyes watered up and sneezed for about 5 minutes. I have no idea how he can do that and wish there was an easy way to get rid of most nose hairs.

 

[Parrothead]

Every now and then I'll get a rogue hair in my nose and snip it..

I've seen some old guys with so much nose hair, that when they sneeze they look like a party favor.. :X

Yes, it's a part of getting older. Vigilance is required. I'm 45 and have to do it about once a week. Nose hairs growing right into a guy's 'stache = :X

 

[The Man With No Name]

I'm 44 and mine doesn't grow any more than it ever has. I have a mustache and a full head of thick hair too.

Must be in your genes :X

 

[Copeman]

Yup. My hair is relocating from my head to my nostrils and ear canals. Twice a week trimming, although I could get away with it being longer, but I feel I must kill the hairs asap. Buy a nose hair trimmer and it's easy. They are cheap. Works on ears too.

 

[Vrana]

How do you guys trim? Scissors?

You guys have me nervous about aging. I don't want to have to worry about nose grooming.

Little electric trimmer. They're like 10 bucks. I also had to start this ritual just after 30. Getting old sucks.

 

[texasheat]

Just started having to trim my freaking ears... pretty much confirms I have one foot in the grave.

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Yes little trimmer for me. Whats the cadillac of these?

 

[PinkydaPimp]

yea im in the market for one as well. can someone recommend one for both nose and ear hair?

Are you sure that your nose hairs are not now intertwined in your moustache? You may want to double check that.

 

[perry147]

Once a week for me but the wife enjoys doing it and is more than happy to yank them out.

 

[3C's]

yank 'em. sometimes I forget...my daughter makes sure to remind me. her ->

 

[TLEF316]

i yank them all the time. its fun. I take a trimmer to it if i'm going out or something. I'm 25 and fairly hairy (and not happy about it)

 

[Arizona Ron]

The little trimmer works, but for me it shoots little hairs up my nose causing me to sneeze about 3 or 4 times.

Once a week.

I'm very sure. I had no idea it was so common, but I don't go around checking out guys noses.

 

[Angry Beavers]

used to yank em .. now the ear and nose trimmer is clearly the way to go.

once a week keeps the forest at bay

 

[shuke]

I prefer the masochist ritual of plucking, although often it results in a pimple inside my nose that drives me nuts.

I can't do this, it feels like I'm pulling hairs off my brain.

That may be the best analogy I've ever heard.

 

[Woogie Lee]

I trim every other week and pluck once a month.

 

[Clayton Gray]

Just pull out the stray ones.

 

[Darth Cheney]

I rip them out. Nothing like sticking your fingers up your nose and pulling out a thicket.

 

[Bogart]

I rip them out. Nothing like sticking your fingers up your nose and pulling out a thicket.

I am disappointed with anything less than 3, damn near giddy with anything more than 6.

 

[Pooch]

Rip em out by the roots. Eventually they'll give up.

 

[Gr00vus]

yea im in the market for one as well. can someone recommend one for both nose and ear hair?

I use one of these. It's good for a variety of trimming/grooming activities. I trim once a week.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Its the ####ers on the tip of my nose that really piss me off. I'll sit in front of the computer just plucking those buggers.

Geez man, you must have some pretty damn big nostrils!

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I have a lawn service come in.

I'm in my 20's and I'm plucking them every day. I'm at the stage where my eyes don't even water, it's just business as usual.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

I rip them out. Nothing like sticking your fingers up your nose and pulling out a thicket.

awesome! me too!!

 

[Haraldur]

Trimming only makes them grow faster. You have to get at the root. Plucking is the way to go.

I said once every two weeks, probably closer to 3.

 

[Papa Georgio]

I generally do both, plucking at trimming, but I either get an in-grown hair or pimple from my routine. Usually in the same spot and it makes blowing my nose a very painful ordeal.

 

[Flying V]

I've been dealing with nose and ear hair for 25 years. I finally decided to just let it grow and wax it. My ears are now pointed on top and I've dyed my nose hairs orange and waxed them to look like flames coming out my nose. I figure what the heck... I'm a mouth breather anyway. Now I look like a really angry Dr. Spock.

Nirvana!

 

[drummer]

I hate it when I see a nose hair sticking out of someone else's nose. You just can't stop focusing on it. You're thinking TRIM THAT THING while in a conversation. It's worse when they have a full blown shrub creeping out of the nostril.

 

[Otis]

I have one crazy eyebrow hair that grows a good inch. Way way longer than the rest. I tried pulling it out yesterday but couldn't.

 

[jamny]

I'll pluck a random one from time to time but once every other week or so I get in there and hack away. Especially when I'm about to go away on vacation. I haven't gotten ear hair yet but do get one or two on the outside, like by my ear lobe. I need to get an eye brow trimmer. They get out of control after a month or so and I usually ruin them with a razor. Also get a random gray eye brow hair or two that stick straight out that I pluck.

 

[The Goat]

Twice a week. Up-pointy nose. What's a guy to do?

 

[MAC_32]

I rip them out. Nothing like sticking your fingers up your nose and pulling out a thicket.

now that I can't legally text at traffic lights anymore this is what I do instead. Still waiting for my Seinfeld moment, shocked it hasn't happened yet.

 

[chauncey]

Ripping them out is such a victorious feeling. Except when I look at my prize and see that it is a gray. :(

 

[Stinkin Ref]

tweezers....about every two weeks....sometimes more....but always before any important events.....or haircuts or dental appointments where somebody might have a good look up there....

i'm interested in the eyebrow trimmers and if they really work very well....I have pretty normal eyebrows but I get a few on each side that look like they came from the dad in American Pie and they really screw up the symmetry

Tweezers? Seems like a lot of unneeded effort and pain. Just get one of those nose hair trimmers and mow that ish down.

 

[Skipdog77]

I've decided to give braiding them a try.

 

[E Street Brat]

I have no problem with nose or ear hair, but at 46 I already have the crazy old man eyebrows.
