Never
had to worry about ear and nose hair before, and now you
find it is time to trim it up? You are not alone. Ear and
nose hair is controlled by male hormones, and a plentiful
amount of hair points to a large amount of these hormones
in the body. Aging men often find themselves dealing with
excessive ear and nose hair for the first time when their
bodies start to produce less female hormones to balance.
Removal of hair in these delicate regions of the body in
charge of important senses can be arduous. Men can easily
grow 1cm of hair a month, which means trimming can be a
frequent endeavor. Follow these tips to help make your ear
and nose manicure sessions run smoothly.
1.
Manicure Ear and Nose Hair in the Morning when You are
Alert
Tired,
frustrated hands and weary eyes are not a recipe for a
successful hair removal session. Approach hair removal in
this delicate region in the morning when you are fresh and
alert.
2.
Clean Ears and Nose well Before Trimming
Cleaning the ears and nose will help the hair separate and
not hide within the walls before you cut it. Use a cotton
swab to gently position the hair for easy trimming.
3.
Trim Hair in a Well-lighted Area
Don’t
guess when it comes to the sensitive areas of your ears
and nose. Be sure to shine a light where you are trimming
to avoid common errors in clipping judgment.
4.
Utilize a Magnifier Mirror
One
false move with curved scissors or an electric trimmer and
the hair can be cut uncomfortably or skin can be nicked
and cause a bloody mess. Use precaution and accept the aid
of a magnifier to help you see clearly what you are doing.
5.
Use an Electric Nose & Ear Hair Trimmer
Electric ear and nose hair trimmers are small machines
with rotary or oscillating blades made to painlessly
remove hair. Electric trimmers are easy and painless as
long as precaution is taken. Do not try to remove too much
hair.
6.
Do not use Tweezers to Pluck Ear and Nose Hair
Using
tweezers to pluck ear and nose hair can cause ingrown
hairs and lead to infection. Plucking the nose hair can
inflame the nasal cavity and cause discomfort.
7.
Consider Scissors with Caution
Although manicuring scissors are the right size and can
yield results, a wrong move can cause a permanent scar. Be
careful if you choose to trim these soft areas with
scissors, and makes sure the scissors are sharp so you do
not pluck the hairs out which can lead to infection.
8.
Be Conservative with Ear and Nose Hair Removal
The
hair that grows in your ears and nose is there for a
reason, and has a function for protecting the body. Nose
hair also serves the function of capturing aromas in the
nasal cavity to be processed and warms the cold air that
gets breathed in through the nose. Only remove the hair
that is visible to someone that is not looking up your
nose or inside of your ear.
