Nose hair trimmers aren’t doing it for you? You poor beast! Thankfully, a good nose waxing can pare back your probiscus and keep your sense of smell intact. The Daily Mail sent a daring fashion writer to sniff out the story. While she lay back, a “beauty therapist” scooped some “goo” out of “what looks like a vat of hot bubble gum” and proceeded to stuff it up the writer’s nostril and let it sit for 30 seconds. And then ... riiiiiip.
Does it hurt? You betcha. Nostril waxing “smarts for a second or two”—but the real trauma appeared to come from seeing all those recently-liberated nose hairs on the just-pulled wax. “Porcupine” is the word she used. The author admits nose hairs serve a biological purpose. Even if they’re long and ugly, nostril fuzz keeps dust, dirt, and other critters out so you can breathe easy. But a nose waxing doesn’t go so deep as to remove enough hairs that it could put your throat or lungs at risk.
Wouldn’t a pair of nose hair clippers suffice? [Daily Mail U.K.]

This sounds suspiciously like waterboarding. Someone alert Pelosi.

I need a follow up on this. No lung or throat damage but more or less boogers?

Hahaha @ Alison. Good question! Either way, not worth it if you ask me.

Waxing is one of the most popular hair removal methods. Waxing seems to be effective method for long period of hair free skin. <A >Cold waxing for women</A> is one of the best waxing technique for clean the hairs. Cold wax strips are available in various shapes and size so you can use them for removing hair from eyebrow to legs. The wax strips are applied to the skin and pressed down in the direction of hair growth. Then quickly the strips are pulled in the opposite direction.
