Best Nose Hair Trimmers

Have your nostrils begun sprouting a particularly hairy situation? Don't worry, it's a totally normal — albeit annoying — occurrence, especially as we get older. (Ah, the wonders of aging, right?) But just because that wily nostril fur is normal, that doesn't mean you have to live with it.

RELATED: Best Beard Trimmers

If trimming nose hairs isn't yet part of your regular grooming routine, it may be time to add a key tool to your manscaping arsenal: the nose hair trimmer. They make a great complimentary piece for any dopp kit alongside a beard trimmer or electric shaver, and they come in a few different forms to fit your needs.

Removing any form of body hair can be a grotesque and painful task depending on the tools you use, but nose hair trimmers are actually the most painless and simplest solution to snipping hair trapped in the snout. Bonus: Some nose hair trimmers are designed to tackle other hairy spots on your bod, such as your brows and inside your ears, too!

What to Consider When Shopping for a Nose Hair Trimmer

Experts suggest that we actually need some hair in our nose to protect us from dust, bugs, allergens, bacteria and all other airborne pathogens from entering our lungs, so those nose waxing kits you may have seen are not an ideal solution. They’re also unnecessarily painful, and could even lead to ingrown hairs and infections.

Experts also believe that the only true benefit of trimming nose hair is for mere vanity. (Sex appeal is all about detailing, after all.) So the key is to find a balance that keeps your nose hair from growing wildly while also allowing some of it to exist unseen in the presence of company.

To strike that perfect balance, check out our guide on how to trim nose hair and reference these key factors to consider when searching for a nose hair trimmer that will get your nose tresses in check:

• Battery life: Some nose trimmers come with a built-in rechargeable battery, while others might require a single AA or AAA battery for operation. Any device that gets you several months of use on a single charge is a stellar pick, though some manual nose hair trimmers don't require any battery or charging at all.
• Motor type: The majority of nasal hair trimmers come equipped with a rotary blade system for automatic trimming, while manual nose trimmers have a learning curve and require more hands-on use.
• Portability: Most are designed to be stored in tight spaces, and some even come bundled with a convenient carry case for travel purposes.
• Price: No need to break the bank on a nose hair trimmer; you can get a good one for nearly a third of what a premium electric trimmer goes for these days.
• Reliability: A durable frame met with stainless steel blades can ensure the most effective results.
• Versatility: Any machine that can double as an ear, nose or sideburn trimmer is gold.

So put down that tiny pair of scissors that keeps nicking the inside of your nose and drop that torture device more commonly known as tweezers. It’s time to upgrade to a dedicated nose hair trimmer that can properly tackle the job at hand, and we've rounded up our favorites for you below.
