Nose Hair & Bergdorf Blondes

[KathrynNicole]

Okay! Now, let's be honest with ourselves, first and foremost, and then with each other. Most of us have nose hair. There. I said it. Now. That's out of the way. Let's acknowledge the fact that there are indeed health related benefits to having nose hair. A person with nose hair is less vulnerable to dust, germs, etc. :smilehappyyes: Acknowledged. Now, on to the topic of nose hair removal after this brief excerpt from Bergdorf Blondes. (I completely blame this book for even giving me the idea of bringing up this topic!)

Sometimes the hairdressers and their addictions and the parties and the blow-outs take up so much time it starts to feel like work and you can't focus on your real career. (And I do have a real career to think about-more of which later.) But that's what happens in Manhattan. Everything just kind of creeps up on you, and before you know it you're out every night, working like crazy and secretly waxing the hair on the inside of your nose like everyone else. It's not long before you start thinking that if you don't do the nose-hair-wax thing your whole world's going to fall apart.

Question: Do you use a nose hair trimmer, scissors, tweezers, wax, etc.? Please feel free to elaborate.

 

[KathrynNicole]

OK! :laughing: I'm seriously beginning to think this thread should be deleted.

 

[LVA]

lol .... can't believe this thread actually exists ....

.... KN ... shame on u for blaming a book ...

... back to your question ... I use those little cuticle scissors to trim my nose hair ....

... i think all girls should keep it trimmed ... i also know ppl that pluck it ...

... and even though i'm a wax-fanatic .. never heard of waxing nose hair .... i don't think it's healthy

 

[KathrynNicole]

Thanks a lot! :smiletongue: You may me spit-laugh on my notebook. Oh how I dislike when people say that, but I did. Weird pet peeve. I should get over it. OK. Done.

I use tweezers. Oh, and a nose trimmer thingie, too. I can't stand nose hairs. I don't care if the person next to me has them, but I don't want a single hair in my nose. I don't pluck/trim very often, though.

I wonder if people really do have their nose hairs waxed. I'd never ever heard of it before until I read it in Bergdorf Blondes.

1st time i've tried plucking my nose hair ... tears came out so fast .... i've lost the courage to try again ....

... there's something about a girl w/nose hair hanging out ... .. it doesn't seem right to me ..... (just my opinion ... hope no1 gets offended ... :sdrop: )

 

[KathrynNicole]

I'm used to the pain. I've been plucking mine for so many years. When did you start plucking? :laughing: I can't believe we're having a conversation about nose hairs.

 

[LVA]

yea ... i'm just gonna blame it on the time .... and the fact i'm tired ..

.... the 1st time i saw my mom do it ... probably .. in elementary .... lol ... i know ... i was so young ,... don't think i even had that much nose hair ... but growing up ... i wanted to be just like my mom ....

 

[blackmettalic]

I pluck any that may come into view (since they are dark), but not all of them. It seems to painful and plus there is the health factor.

 

[KathrynNicole]

True. Don't forget the possibility of ingrown hairs.

 

[blackmettalic]

Exactly, and all the germs up there could easily cause infections and that's not something I would enjoy extracting. :wacko:

 

[4getmeNot]

Nope, I don't! I don't have a nose hair problem-lol, but if they were sticking out of my nose...hmm I'd probably pull em or somethin. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[KathrynNicole]

You're lucky.

 

[NYAngel98]

Scissors... lol I could never pluck them lol I'd be crying!! lol :wacko: I've never really given much thought to them -- I trim them so they're not like hanging out of my nose or anything -- but I just think its weird to have the inside completely bare.. I guess cuz I've never seen anyone do it. :wassatt: And how the heck do you WAX them?? lol How do you get the wax in... and how do you take it off??? :wassatt: lol

 

[Marisol]

Oh my... I don't really do anything. I haven't seen any that are too long or anything like that.

My cousin waxes them and she is crazy. I was at her house one day and it was late at night and she was waxing some parts of her face and all of the sudden I see this orangy looking boogie. I looked at her :icon_eek: and asked her what she had in her nose. She said "wax". Then she went to the bathroom and came back without it. I couldn't believe she had done that. I asked her if she could breath or if it ever got stuck and she said that she has been doing it for so long that she is used to it.

 

[KathrynNicole]

Marisol! I :heart: you! We both say boogie! :laughing: What kind of wax was it?

 

[Marisol]

Not sure.

 

[screeema]

I get mine waxed, my friend at the salon does it. It is a different wax than used on the rest of your body, it is very dark green, what they do is take thin round wood stick, I'm not sure of the correct name for the tool, anyway...she dips it in the wax, rolls it into a little ball and shoves it in your nose!!! She leaves it for a few minutes until it hardens and then....she yanks it out!!!

The brazilian hurts much worse, this isn't bad at all!!

 

[KathrynNicole]

Thanks for the info, Rima.

 

[KathrynNicole]

Did you ever find out what kind of wax your cousin uses, Marisol?

So far I haven't had a problem with any hairs leaving the insides of my nose... The day it happens, believe you me, a nose hair trimmer WILL be involved *lol*
