Nostril Hair

    I know this isn't the right forum, but I really don't want to log in for this, plus I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone.

    I'm a girl in my mid 20's & I have some noticeable nostril hair.

    I also have a bit of a tash, but I deal with that myself.
    It's too painful to get rid of the nostril hair.

    I don't go to beauticians, nor do I want to go to any, so please try to give me advice that doesn't involve them.

    It never bothered me until my boyfriend commented on it, now I'm really self conscious about it.

    How do I go about getting rid of it?

    I'm assuming it's not normal!
    Like, I don't have two giant haystacks sticking out of my nose, but I would have several fine hairs whose ends sit below the nostril opening, & a few of these are more darkly coloured.
    Plucking them brings too many tears to my eyes.

    Having them is also starting to bring tears to my eyes. :(

    See, I've V long eyelashes, & so all other facial hair grows long too.
    My eyebrow hairs are very long & so tend to stick everywhere even though I keep them well groomed.
    Even the hairs on my arms are very long & quite dark, but I don't let these bother me.

    Another thing that really annoys me is:- exactly where my adams apple would be if I was a boy, the ordinary little fluffy hairs you have on your skin has turned quite dark & quite long in a small patch.
    Again, too sore to do anything about them, & I'm afraid if I do, it'll make them worse.
    But they appear very obvious to me.

    I also even have some big hairs sticking out of my big toes!!!! (which I take care of)
    But, I wouldn't be considered hairy anywhere else on my body

    anyone any suggestions?
    Please don't advise going to a beautician.

    Do lots of girls suffer from these things, but just keep all well groomed so no one knows about it, or am i a bit of a freak? :(

    Interesting thread on nose hair here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055066750

    Yeah, don't suggest things like that please.
    '"But that's what happens in New York. Everything just kind of creeps up on you, and before you know it you're out every night, working like crazy and secretly waxing the hair on the inside of your nose like everyone else. It's not long before you start thinking that if you don't do the nose-hair wax thing your whole world's going to fall apart."

    OP some girls do have nasal hair. Use a good nail scissors and cut it tight.

    That thread is no use to her.'

    Well whatever you do decide to do - please don't start plucking them - i can't even imagine the pain of that - just trim them with a scissors so that they don't go past your nostril

    See, I've V long eyelashes

    You prob have a gorgeous head of hair as well!!!

    the ordinary little fluffy hairs you have on your skin has turned quite dark & quite long in a small patch.

    If you find it embarrassing just bleach it - don't wax because that will make it worse!! But before you do anything just make sure you aren't being overly paranoid about all of this - it sort of seems that since your boyfriend said this you might be over analyzing your face and coming up with the idea that you are abnormally hairy. If you were adnormal do you think that there would be so many salons and hair removal products in shops!!!
