Nostril Hair Questions to Ask Yourself Have you ever seen someone that looked like they had a lawn growing in their nose? Or maybe you personally know someone who seems to think no one cares or notices their nose hair. If you've ever had a conversation with someone who has overgrown nose hairs, you might catch yourself staring at their nose instead of paying attention to what they're saying. It's not only uncomfortable but also embarrassing to watch.   Now that brings up the question, are YOU that person? Personal grooming is a matter of hygiene and it's generally known that the way you present yourself is representation of how well you take care of yourself. If you're not sure you're that person, take a good look in the mirror and determine if your nose needs some maintenance so you can avoid an embarrassing social situation. It only takes one overgrown hair to draw eyeballs.   Why is it that nose hairs can get so long? For the most part, this is a predominantly male problem, but it can occur with women as well. When it comes to males, hormones are responsible for long nose hair. Aging can also lead to long nose hair due to increased testosterone production and a decrease in female hormone production. While this is a natural occurrence, it can definitely be problematic.   So why do nose hairs exist again? Nose hairs play an important role when it comes to health. They are essential for filtering out dust, dirt, and environmental irritants. If harmful particles get past the nasal cavity, it can reach the lungs and create infection.   So what do you do if you have to mow the lawn? It can be very painful and scary to use scissors that have sharp tips if you don't know what you are doing. It's a very sensitive area and you have to be careful with how you approach nose hair trimming. Here is a no hassle, pain-free way of keeping your nose from looking like a chia pet.   How to Trim Nostril Hair 1) Wash the inside of the nose with a cotton swab moistened with water. Make sure the inside of the nostril is free of mucus. 2) Look into a mirror and tilt your nose up for visibility. Make sure you have ample light to see the hose hair clearly and to cut the nose hair properly. 3) Get a pair or nose hair scissors with rounded tips. You can also use an electric nose hair trimmer. The Seki Edge Nostril Hair Scissors or Rotating Nostril Hair Cutter are manual ways to cut nose hair. The nostril scissors have rounded tips, comfortable finger rings and hand-finished blades with a sharp cutting edge. The nostril hair cutter have rotating blades that cut the nose hairs as the blades move past each other. 4) Insert nose hair scissors into your nose and trim hairs, especially at the opening at the nostrils to make sure there aren't any nose hairs sticking past the nostril. Do not stick the nose hair scissors in too far. 5) When finished, clean the nose hair scissor blades to remove debris and bacteria with rubbing alcohol or soap and warm water. 6) If there are specific nose hairs you want to completely get rid of for whatever reason, you can individually pluck them out with a tweezer. However, it's best not to over tweeze as this can create irritation, infection and ingrown hairs. If you want to use tweezers, use a round tip tweezer so that the tips do not poke the inside of the nose. Using a tweezer will be a bit more painful as you can imagine, but it will completely eliminate that hair for a while. It is also very important that you don't aggressively trim your nostril hairs with either a pair of nose hair scissors or trimmers. Aggressive trimming may actually cause nicks to the skin tissue. This can create sores and pimples, which can become painful, inflamed and infected. Depending on how thick and long your nose hairs are, it may be necessary to trim nose hairs once or twice a week if necessary. It just depends on the rate of growth. Trimming nose hairs is not always an easy topic to talk about with friends and family. But none-the-less they are important topics. Having good hygiene and keeping up a grooming routine helps you put your best foot forward and increase confidence. Even a simple task such as trimming your nostril hairs can make a big difference. If you're ready to get rid of the lawn in your nose just follow these steps and you will be on the path to a fresh new look.   Health and Wellness

Scenario 1: You are out of town. You've been away for a few days and then dang it...it happens, you discover a hangnail! Your cuticle skin starts peeling off and it just looks and feels bad. You are tempted to peel it off, but you know that if you do, you risk peeling off too much dead skin which could lead to bleeding, making everything worse. On the other hand, if you don't, it continues to hang and peel away. You know it's hanging there and that constant urge to pick at it can't be stopped unless you eliminate it once and for all! Scenario 2: Or what about the times when you are away from home and your nail chips out of the blue. It splits on the side and keeps getting caught on your clothes, scratches your skin and leaves you annoyed. Every time it catches on something, it rips just a little more. So you get the urge to use your other fingernails to break it off. You know that if you don't break it off, it will continue to drive you nuts. If you do, it can really create a jagged edge and leave your nail looking and feeling funny. So you continue to pick at the nail and all of a sudden you find yourself ripping off the top of your nail. No joke. This stuff happens. It's in these instances like these two scenarios when you wish you had a manicure kit. A manicure kit is essential because nail and cuticle issues happen to everyone at the worst possible moment. And if you don't take care of them right away, it can leave you with some annoying problems. Not only will your nails and fingers look horrible, but it can be very painful and could possibly lead to infection. So what's the answer? Finding a manicure kit with tools to fix these problems on the go is a simple and satisfying solution. But a manicure kit will also be useful for preventing such issues from happening in the first place. Keeping nails groomed on a regular basis should prevent most random nail issues. So what should you look for in a men's manicure kit? There are many out there, so choose wisely. CHOOSE THE KIT THAT WORKS FOR YOU Determine Where You'll Take It First, it's important to determine how it will be used most. If you want a travel manicure kit, will it primarily stay in the hotel room or will you carry it with you in a bag as you are out and about? If you are keeping it at the hotel, at home or in a glove compartment, there are fewer restrictions on size and weight of the kit. If you are planning on carrying the manicure kit with you in your man bag, you may want to keep your kit on the smaller and lighter side. The type of kit you choose should depend a lot on your duration away from where your kit is stored as well. The longer you are away, the more tools you may wish to carry in order to address any and all nail issues that could happen.   What Tools are Needed Second, after you've determined how you will be carrying the manicure kit, you need to decide what tools you want in it. What manicure problems do you usually come across? Chipped nails? Hangnails? Dry overgrown cuticles? As a man, do you need to trim those nose hairs or ear hairs? Keep all of your hygienic needs in mind when deciding on a kit that's right for you.   What Quality is Desired Third, decide the quality of the tools to be housed in your manicure kit. Higher quality tools may be more expensive, but they last longer, have better handling and usually do a better job than cheap ones. Generally, if they are made of quality materials such as stainless steel they will be more durable and last longer.   The Case Fourth, but not least, the case itself can make a big difference. Protecting your tools is important especially if you get high quality grooming tools. You will want to keep them protected. A leather case is always a nice option but isn't necessary. A nice synthetic leather case can be sufficient. Small elastic straps or something that holds the tools firmly in place are a nice feature as well. You don't want your tools in a case where they are freely moving around in a bag as this may lead to damaged tools over time. Keeping your tools in a sturdy travel case will be key to ensuring the longevity of your tools.   CONCLUSION It is suggested to start with the essentials in your manicure kit. At minimum, it is recommended to have a fingernail clipper, toenail clipper, nail file, cuticle nippers or cuticle trimmer. An optional tool but still very important is a cuticle pusher. Each nail tool should have a purpose for you. Outside nail tools, it's important to carry other related grooming tools. In this instance you may wish to 'upgrade' your manicure kit to a grooming kit. These related tools could include cuticle scissors or make-up scissors for cutting hangnails or small hairs, nostril scissors, mustache scissors, a shaving razor and/or eyebrow tweezers depending on your needs. Having the proper grooming tools in a men's manicure set can save you the irritation of unsightly nails and painful hangnails. It also save you frustration and can quickly solve your nail needs instantly so you can avoid some of these minor nuisances we encounter each and everyday.
