Have you ever had someone who supposedly loves you “helpfully” yank an errant nose hair from your nostril and grin in your face as your eyes water and you yelp in pain? An effective way to put an end to the cruelty is regular nose hair maintenance with an electric trimmer, which is way less painful than tweezers and also less likely to end in ingrown hairs and/or tears.
The best nose hair trimmers work quickly and won’t tug at the hair, helping to clip any loose ends that are hanging out, while cleaning up any clutter inside the nostrils as well.
Nose hair trimmers work using a small circular blade that spins inside your nose to remove follicles. We looked for models with extra attachments and uses too, say, to remove random ear hair or touch up rogue eyebrows. All of our picks have ergonomic handles that are comfortable to hold, and some of them can be rinsed under the sink for easy cleanup.
While we do recommend nose hair trimming on the (semi) regular, we would also caution you not to overdo it. Nose hair actually performs a useful health function by blocking particles from entering your nose, thereby preventing infection and allergens. Judicious trimming is considered the safest option for nostril grooming.
