Pluck or Trim? How to Tame That Nose Hair Jungle

Are you worried about how to deal with the long nose hair?

Actually, your nose hair is there to help you. A thick barrier of hair keeps bugs, bacteria, and other foreign contaminants out of your airways while allowing air to flow unobstructed. Sometimes, however, it's just too much. There's nothing wrong with keeping your nose hair in check if it sprouts wildly and noticeably from your nostrils, but be careful not to remove too much hair lest you compromise your immune system.

Pluck or trim? This is a question.
