Can you pluck your own nose hairs en masse?

Earlier today I was thinking about the pain I experienced when I decided to pluck all but the deepest nose hairs from my nose.

You see, I was tired of shaving it, because that made my nose itch, and it grows back too fast. So I said to myself "Why not get some tweezers, a few Lortab, and go to town!!". Ten gruling minutes later the inside of my nose is a smooth.

It's actually not that bad after the first minute or so. I figure that's because the nerve endings in there died from the initial shock.

Anyone else try this method? Or am I alone on this one.

Oh so painful. It's bad to pluck them though, few things are worse than ingrown hairs in your nostril. You should only trim.

Whats the longest you've pulled? I had some that were pretty good size, felt like they were attached to my brain.

1/2 of an inch. You'd be surprised how long they get actually. And I'm talking about ones you can't even see to begin with!

Honest answer:

I trim mine.

If I'm stuck without a way to trim and find a long one hanging out, I'll yank it.

I've yet to find a good trimmer that actually works for me.

I only occassionally pull out the long ones that make ya look creepy.

I had some that were pushing 1" if not a tad longer. Sometimes these longer ones fall out and go down the back of my throat.

Pulling a nose hair makes my eyes water, just like if you have gotten hit in the nose with something. Hurts if its not ready to come out.
