How to deal with nose hair correctly

Nose hair is a normal phenomenon and is very important for the health of the body. It can block dust and small insects and is also an important reason for ensuring clean breathing. Of course, if the nose hair is too long and exposed outside, it will indeed affect the appearance, so it is also important to trim and process it in time. In daily life, you must not pluck nose hair, as it is particularly harmful to your health. You can use small scissors to trim it.

How to deal with nose hair correctly

Nose hair can be trimmed with clean eyebrow scissors or a nose hair trimmer, and should be done in a well-lit place. The nasal mucosa is a very fragile part. If the tools used in the process of trimming nose hair are unclean and contain bacteria, it is easy to infect the nasal passages. If you are not careful, you will damage the skin or mucosa of the nasal vestibule, causing bleeding, and directly introduce bacteria into the wound, causing nasal furuncle.

Plucking nose hair is not recommended. If you remove nose hair, it will undoubtedly eliminate the defense of the nose. As a result, bacteria and dust will directly enter the lower respiratory tract and cause lower respiratory tract infection. In addition, after removing nose hair, the hair follicles are damaged, and bacteria take the opportunity to invade, which may cause nasal furuncle attacks. Pulling out nose hair weakens the ability of the nasal cavity to attack diseases.

The role of nose hair

1. It can block dust, bacteria and small insects in the air, allowing the human body to inhale filtered clean air, deter small insects, and transmit information to the nervous system for cleaning; it can also allow local bacteria to enter the stomach with mucus and kill the bacteria with stomach acid.

2. It can maintain the temperature and moisture of the nasal mucosa, prevent the external cold air from being directly inhaled into the trachea, and prevent dry or atrophic rhinitis and nosebleeds.

3. It can protect the olfactory nerve from damage, allowing the nose to smell all kinds of odors.

Nose hair too long? Did you pluck it out or cut it off? Nose hair is a relatively special type of hair. It is an auxiliary receptor for touch and the first line of defense against respiratory diseases. It is usually not visible inside the nose, but some people have long nose hairs, which affects the appearance, so they habitually cut or pull them out.
