Do you have hair growing in your ears and don't like it? You are not alone! Many people face this problem. Getting rid of hair is not at all difficult. First you need to thoroughly clean your ears from wax and dirt. Then you can use a special ear trimmer (trimmer), or resort to wax or laser hair removal. But it is better not to use scissors, tweezers or depilatory cream, as there is a risk of damaging the ear canals.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to use a hair clipper

1. 1 Clean your ears with a salt water solution. Remove any wax and dirt from your ears before cutting your hair. Use a saline solution for this. It can be prepared by dissolving one teaspoon of salt in half a glass of water (120 ml). Dip the tip of a clean cotton swab in salt water and gently clean the inner surface of the ear: all the grooves at the top and the area near the entrance to the ear canal.
2. 2 Buy an ear trimmer. You shouldn't buy a cheap trimmer, because it is likely to be ineffective, but you shouldn't overpay for a very expensive model either. A trimmer from the middle price category will cost about 2000-3500 rubles. Look for a model with a rotating blade system and cut protection. If you travel frequently, buy a lighter clipper complete with a travel case.
   • Most trimmers are battery operated, so it is worth buying extra alkaline batteries and a charger.
3. 3 Find a well-lit area. Cutting your ear hair is best done in a brightly lit room, such as a bathroom. If you have a magnifying mirror, use it to see any hair in your ear that needs to be removed. At a certain angle, you may not see fine hairs, but people around you will notice them!
4. 4 Trim your ear hair gently. Try to insert the trimmer into your ear so that it fits easily into the ear canal - you don't have to force it and push it deep into the ear canal. Turn on the trimmer and gently remove all hairs. After 1-2 minutes, stop and evaluate the result of the work done.

Method 2 of 3: How to do laser hair removal

1. 1 Find a clinic where you can get laser hair removal. This procedure is carried out using a laser beam that targets dark hair follicles without damaging the skin. Search online for laser hair removal in your area and read reviews of these clinics. Call and clarify what methods they use to remove hair from the ears and how much it will cost. Compare the prices of several clinics.
   • Find out what are the options for paying for the service on credit (for example, payment in installments).
   • Make sure your laser hair removal procedure is performed by an experienced doctor who specializes in dermatology or cosmetic surgery.
2. 2 Choose a time for your treatments. Laser hair removal must be carried out in accordance with the hair growth cycle - this will effectively get rid of all hairs. Therefore, a special schedule of procedures must be drawn up. As a rule, it is necessary to carry out 4-6 procedures at intervals of a month. Considering that ear hair grows on a small area of ​​skin, the procedures should not take long.
3. 3 Protect your skin. In order to protect the skin and ensure the maximum effectiveness of laser hair removal, do not sunbathe for about 6 weeks before the first treatment. If the skin is tanned, the risk of lightening during the procedure increases. To prevent this, cover your ears with a wide-brimmed hat or use high sun protection factor (SPF) sunscreen when leaving the house. This must be done before and during laser hair removal.

Method 3 of 3: Ways not to remove hair

1. 1 Don't use scissors. Use scissors only as a last resort if there is no other way to remove hair. Scissor blades can accidentally injure the ear canals, as they are very sensitive. If you do decide to cut your hair with scissors, do it very carefully, choosing a place with good lighting. For such jewelry work, only small scissors are suitable.
2. 2 Do not use tweezers. Tweezers can also accidentally injure sensitive ear canals. If plucking hairs damages the skin and becomes inflamed, it can lead to infection. In addition, plucking hair is painful and time-consuming and should only be done occasionally.
3. 3 Never use hair removal creams. While it might seem like depilatory creams are an easy way to remove hair from your ears, they shouldn't be used. The strong chemicals in these creams are especially harmful to sensitive areas like ears, eyes and nose. Even more gentle creams for underarms, upper lip and bikini line should not be used to remove ear hair.
