Nose hair is one of the factors of life. People, men and women, have nose hair to help keep dust and other air born particles from clogging nasal passages. It also is there to help grab moisture from the air to help and lubricate the nasal membranes. As men and women age the nasal hair can grow in longer and more unruly ways.
Contrary to popular belief nose hair problems are not only for men. In fact it is the slowing of estrogen that produces more facial, nasal and ear hair. Since males start out with less estrogen than women they will typically have more issues with the nasal hair.
Trimming away of the nasal hairs is part of many men and women’s daily grooming routine. Before you start cutting away at the nasal hairs be sure to clean the inside of the nose with a damp cloth. This will help to keep bacteria from spreading if you should accidentally snip a little skin. Also make sure the stainless steel scissors you are about to insert into your nasal passage have been cleaned, preferably with rubbing alcohol. 
Standing very close to a mirror tilt your head back just a bit and make sure that you can clearly see the hairs that you are about to cut. Very carefully cut the strands of hair. While cutting try to only snip a little bit of the hair at a time and avoid putting the scissors too far up in the nasal cavity. After you are satisfied that hair is no longer showing on the outside of your nose you will need to clean the scissors again to prevent bacteria.
Try not to ever use tweezers on nasal hairs as pulling the hairs will lead to small cuts inside of the nose and that can lead to infection.
