Nose hair: The best treatment , of course, is shaving them. That does not change the hair character, thickness, or color, or the number of hairs. This is been well-proven. You could have them laser treated which actually ablates the hairs, but in order for laser work they have to be brown or black hairs. Of course your dermatologist will have other answers, and you should see him or her as soon as you can.

Do NOT Shave!: Shaving will always cause hairs to regrow faster, darker, thicker, and in many cases cause the other localized hairs to become more noticeable and begin exhibiting the same characteristics as described above. Waxing, electrolysis, and tweezing are all much better alternatives for reduced hair size, delayed regrowth and no untoward issues with other localized hairs.
