Is it normal?

[gingerflaps]

I'm a 31 year old female who's just started to notice my nostril hairs growing rather long and tickling the inside of my nose I'm forever pulling them out, but now I'm paranoid that theyre gonna grow really long and stick out. I know hair growns in strange places as one gets older but is this normal?

Yes.
After a certain age you start to turn into a wookie from the eyebrows down.
Welcome.

'...pulling them out.' Isn't that eye wateringly painful?
A small pair of scissors might be a good investment.

[Mosaic]

Sandy, you are clearly a wuss. What you do is snip a length of a veet wax strip, roll into a cone shape, ram up your nose and yank out hard.
It redefines pain but increases alertness.

LOL Mosaic that doesnt sound like a bad idea.
No pulling them out isnt too bad, they come out quite easily, I dont mind the ones that are right up there but its the ones near the hole, they tickle when I breathe

[gingerflaps]

Snags! Oh my!! Thats so funny

[sandyRoe]

The answer seems obvious, breath through your mouth . ;-)

Snags, where did you get that pic of me?

Problem is Ginger, if you remove them from one part of the anatomy, they'll come back in another :)

I'm 43 (female) and have never had a problem with nose hair. I don't know anyone else of my age that has either.

Lol at Mosaic.

31 seems rather young to have nasal hair.

[Mosaic]

it's all in both the genes and the perception. One person's downy fuzz is another one's zee zee top.

[boxtops]

get a tweezer, pull as much as you can, and snip it off.

[shoota]

Pull the hair from your ears but cut the hair from your nose as you need some to filter the smog.

[Mosaic]

Is that why Japanese people wear those nose-and-mouth masks? Lack of nasal hair?

[DTCwordfan]

you must stop taking those testerone tablets.....one of the costs of female-to-male transgenderism, I'm afraid.

[boxtops]

grow a moustache, nobody will notice then :-)

[Mosaic]

Then there's those nose-hair-grnder things like a cross between a pencil and an electric shaver. OH had a terrible experience with one, he still won't speak thereof.

[boxtops]

Are those the gingerflaps you refer to in your username, GF?

[DTCwordfan]

me thinks not Boxie, don't go there.
