The older you become the more hairs start receding from where you want them to be and sprouting from places you don’t. Wiry hairs dangling from your nostril are never attractive and finding a painless and effective solution is not as easy as you may think. This isn’t a tool that you have to use that often but when you do, you want it to be effective. We’ve all bought rubbish nasal trimmers that make all the right noises but don’t seem to be doing anything and tweezers, well, they just bring tears to the eyes. We thought we’d road test a few of the biggest selling nasal hair trimmers around. Here’s what we thought.

Merkur Nose Hair Trimmer
Price - £17.50
Philips Nose & Ear Trimmer
The Blurb
The Philips Nose and Ear trimmer uses a powerful precision micro-trimmer for a safe, fast and easy trimming experience.
Verdict
Nice design, like the orange highlight at the top. Good sound.
You’d feel safe sticking this in your ear. Very gentle and nice size for sticking up your nostril. Gets into that hard to reach area at the front. Very good. This one I would use regularly as it might not be that good on lots of long hairs.
Comes with battery and attachments for eyebrows, do not use any of these trimmers on your eyebrows without testing them on your forearm first. 100% waterproof.

Wahl Personal Trimmer
TheBlurb
Two trimming head, reciprocating and rotary. Ideal for trimming nose, ear and eyebrow. Hygienic blade rinses clean.
Verdict
This is the traditional type of nasal hair trimmer. Quite large head and bulky body. Comes with lots of fiddly attachments you’ll never use and are quite difficult to put on. Looks cheap. Did the job effectively and made all the right noises. Rinses clean. Comes with battery and protective cover.
