Tidy Your Nostrils (The Easy Way) with The 5 Best Nose Hair Trimmers (2025)

Tired of plucking and squinting as you deal with lengthy nose hairs? Or worse, does someone else do it for you? Save yourself the stress (and pain) with one of our expert-tested nose trimmers. Because having a moustache that begins inside your nostrils isn’t exactly a look.

Still, nose hair exists for a reason – to catch foreign particles and 'debris', like dirt and bacteria – so it's not a good idea to wax or pluck your nose hair to extinction – ie. completely remove it. No, the best way to tackle nose hair is to simply trim it using a nose hair trimmer or dedicated nose hair attachment for your beard trimmer or multigroomer.

No beard trimmer, body groomer or pubic hair trimmer is going to help you trim those fine, little nostril hairs. That’s why we’ve put together a collection of the best nose hair trimmers that can access hard-to-reach areas and come complete with extras like rechargeable batteries and washable heads.

Every product in this guide has been tried and tested by our team of grooming editors, experts and willing testers. They assessed everything from ease of cutting to trimming time and noted how fiddly any ear, eyebrow and beard attachments were to fit and use. They told us if they experienced any discomfort and considered how easy each trimmer was to clean and store.

Back at MH HQ, we used our noise meter to assess whether the trimmers were loud, relatively loud, fairly quiet, relatively quiet or quiet. (Your family/housemates can thank us later.) Find our top picks listed below.

Whether you're a first-timer or someone with especially fast-growing nostril hair, the Manscaped Weed Whacker 2.0 is an excellent choice. It's powered by a 7,000 rpm motor for a powerful trim and housed inside a hypoallergenic stainless steel cone to help protect your skin.

It's also effortlessly simple to use and maintain thanks to the USB-C charing port, so (unlike battery-powered devices) it'll slot seamlessly into your wider matrix of personal tech, like your phone.

As for trimming, there's just the one attachment and one button to turn the device on and off, giving you exactly what you want from a nose hair trimmer: maximum effectiveness for minimal fuss. It's also 100% waterproof for quick and easy cleaning.

This kit provides a full body manscaping experience and won our testers over for tackling unwanted nose, eyebrow and facial hair brilliantly. The noise hair attachment was precise, yet quiet, without causing any nicks, leaving everyone keen to keep it in their wash bags.

We couldn’t fault its long-lasting 100-minute battery life (ideal for travel) and appreciated that it was 100% waterproof, so you can groom from head to toe in the shower with ease.

If you don't already own a beard trimmer, shaver, body hair groomer and hair clipper, this all-in-one kit is a failsafe choice and excellent value.

Our discerning panel was impressed by how well this battery-powered trimmer managed to groom their nose, ears and eyebrows, with the vast majority left satisfied with their finished style.

It can be used both wet and dry – whichever takes your fancy – and its body is ergonomically angled for the most natural and comfortable hold. It felt lightweight and pain-free to use for almost all testers and proved itself to be ‘relatively quiet’, should you worry about waking up your family.

Unlike the Weed Whacker 2.0, the Philips Norelco Nose Trimmer 5000 is battery-operated. However, where it lags behind in terms of charging, it more than makes up for in functionality. With three attachments (an eyebrow comb, 3mm comb and a 5mm comb), this multi-use trimmer can be used for on nostrils, ears, eyebrows and even sideburns – ideal for those wanting to fine tune edges and line up their facial hair.

As for its cutting ability, our testers found the dual-sided steel blades to be sharp and effective, cutting hairs with ease without snagging or pulling, making it a great choice for sensitive skin.

High quality yet easy to use, this battery-powered trimmer features the most durable of metals, so it can handle a drop or two. It fit snugly in everyone's bat caves, leaving nostrils in tip-top shape for the majority. It never got out of control either, making it easy to glide over all areas without any discomfort.

The kit contains a two washable heads, one for nose hair and one for eyebrows, plus two detachable guards for the eyebrow attachment. It also comes with an AA battery, so it's ready to use straight out of the box.

We understand if you're a little hesitant at the prospect of sticking a trimmer up your nose, but thankfully, trimming your nose hair is actually a very simple process. As you'd expect, start by inserting the trimmer into your nose.

Next, squeeze your nostril with your finger and twist the trimmer left and right until you've removed any offending hair. Finish by doing the same on the other side of your honker.

If you compare them to other methods of nose hair removal – we’re talking plucking, snipping and waxing – nose trimmers are the safest way to remove unwanted nose hair.

Unlike accidentally stabbing yourself with some mini scissors, trimmers use blades that only shave the hairs on the top of the skin, rather than providing an ultra-close shave. Think of it the same as getting a haircut at the barber.

If you’re doing it right, it should be totally safe and painless. However, it can cause discomfort if you’re taking it a little too far up the nose or being too rapid with your movements, but overall they’re very straightforward to use and essentially idiot-proof.

If you’re worried, go for a model with a rounded rotary blade, to avoid any accidental sharp jabbing.

This all depends on where you intend to use the trimmer. If you're looking to trim your ear hair or some especially long eyebrow hairs then yes, your nose hair trimmer can be used for this. However, if you think you're going to use it to shave your back or, even worse, your balls, we've got some bad news for you.

For those tasks, check our articles on the back and ball grooming.

You know how to use a nose trimmer, but making sure it's clean and sanitised is just as important. To do this, turn off the trimmer and remove any hair that's been collected. Most trimmers will have a compartment that twists off, so make sure you dispose of any hair that's been collected in there too and give your trimmer a rinse under hot running water.

If you want to go a step further, you can wipe down the trimmer using a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol. This will kill any lingering bacteria, but, again, make sure the trimmer is turned off when you do this.
