Trying to decide if I'm in the minority that pluck their nose hairs. It's painful, but it seems to work better than cutting because cutting seems to make them grow back thicker (more hair) were as plucking you get the few long ones but it takes longer for them to grow back...

 

We've had this discussion here before. I'll say this again, plucking them can lead to infection which can travel to the brain and possibly kill you.--All this is according to someone with a PhD, 2 masters, bachelors, and an RN.

 

Wouldn't the hairs get thicker similar to a mustache when it keeps getting shaven?

Just because you have an education doesn't mean you have common sense...

 

No that is also a myth.

Education and common sense are two different things. Can common sense explain how the human body works? Can education tell you how to act on the streets?

 

I cut.


I'm only 22 and can't even grow facial hair right ,so it isn't a big deal right now.

 

You pluck your nose hairs!? I tried it once and I couldn't stop tearing at the eye. It is probably one of the most painful things...

Cutting your hair does not make it thicker contrary to popular belief.

 

i pluck. But only the super long ones.

 

Sounds like it's Myth Busters time. Someone show me a reference that proves hair does not grow thicker and faster when cut.

Barbers tell you if you want your hair to grow you have to cut a little off the ends.

 

I have one of those trimmers that they have on tv, the one shaped like a pen where they keep showing women shaving their upper lip, arm pits, and "bikini zone." The commercials make me uncomfortable but it's handy for a quick trim in the nose from time to time.

 

the reason that makes no sense, is...well, hair is dead. why would cutting a little off the end make it grow?
