• Don't ever pluck nose or ear hairs. Plucking can cause ingrown hairs and infections in the pores. If you have an ingrown hair in your ear or nose you are going to be in a lot of pain. Plucking is definitely against the rules.
• Don't get rid of all of your nose and ear hairs. Your body is smart, if grows hair as a protection against the outside world. Make sure that you are just trimming the hair back to where it is not a nuisance. Getting rid of it leaves your nose and ears exposed, something might go wrong.
• Make sure that you are in good light when you get ready to tackle nose and ear hairs. If you are getting rid of hair there is a good chance that there is something sharp involved, don't hurt yourself because of poor lighting.
• Clean the area good before trimming hair. Make sure that ear hair is clear of wax and that nose hair is free of mucus. This will ensure that you are able to cut the hair where you want it and that there is not hair that is curled up that you might find later.
• A trimmer is the best way to go. Many men's electric razors now come with a nose and ear hair attachment. This is shaped to fit in your nose and ear without pain. They are also shaped to avoid cutting the skin. Make sure that your razor is made for ear and nose hair trimming.
• If you are going to attack the hair with scissors, use lots of caution. Poking yourself with the sharp end is easy when the ends are in your nose or ear. Rest your elbow on the counter to avoid sudden movements. Find a steady hand and make sure that you are very careful.
• This is something that can be done at the salon if you wish. At a salon there would be someone that has learned how to cut hair in hard to reach areas, not to mention learning how short is too short. Professionals can trim your unwanted hair during a regular haircut or you can schedule a special appointment.
• Waxing and depilatories aren't what you want in this case. They remove too much hair and they are too painful for how sensitive this area is. Remember that you aren't trying to remove all of the hair, just trim it back.

Even if you just trim the hair back so that it isn't poking out, you will feel better about it. If the hair doesn't bother you, make sure that it doesn't bother your loved ones. Many of them will be happy to tease you about how it looks, so if you have a good sense of humor then leave it there for the entertainment value!
