Honestly, it happens to even the most well-groomed among us: that moment you look in the mirror and notice that a long hair tipping out of one of your nostrils. It can also manifest as a long, ear hair or a single hair which stands up between an eyebrow. It's part of being a man and we all eventually start to see hair in strange places. Especially as we get older, hair seems to take on a life of its own.
Sure, you can take scissors to your nose hair or pluck it out with tweezers, but using a nose trimmer is a safe, less potentially painful way to keep your nose, ears and eyebrows in check. These devices are specifically designed to cut nose hair in hard-to-reach places much more easily than you can hope to do on your own, and also usually include some accessories like lights and sometimes their own vacuum systems to keep your trimmed hair off the sink.
Nose hairs exist for a reason: to help trap foreign particles before they enter your body through your nasal passage and potentially cause damage such as disease. So it's bad to completely wax your nose hairs. But long or visible nose hair doesn't do this job any better than the ones you can't see. So if you do trim hair, do it regularly and don't go overboard. Trim only when you start to see hairs peeking out.
When it comes to the best nose trimmer? The good news is that most nose trimmers are reasonably affordable. Most are battery-powered (always keep the batteries fresh) and many have multiple attachments to help you tackle protruding eyebrow hairs and sometimes even detail your beard.
This list is the perfect place to start. Get ready to say goodbye to long hair for good with the 11 best nose trimmers on the market.
