Unsightly hair in your ears can make even the most confident person self-conscious. Fortunately, trimming ear hair can be an easy and painless task. Simply invest in an adjustable magnifying mirror with lights and an electric ear hair trimmer to keep your ears neatly groomed.
Step One
Find an adjustable, three-paneled magnifying mirror with lights. Commonly found in the beauty section of grocery or department stores, these mirrors provide you with the proper angle and lighting to see your ears while you are trimming; they can also reduce neck-twisting.
Step Two
Buy an electric trimmer specially designed to remove ear hair. Choose a device with an oscillating or rotating blade. Avoid using scissors to trim ear hair. Scissors pose a sharp danger to the delicate interior of the ear canal. Using electric trimmers helps safeguard your ears from potentially permanent damage.
Step Three
Read the electric trimmer’s instructions. It’s crucial that you read the instructions that come with your electric hair trimmer to avoid accidents.
Step Four
Wash your ears with water and a mild soap. Use a cotton swab to bring out strands of hair that may be laying flat inside your ear.
Step Five
Position the mirror in front of you and turn on its light. Adjust the panels to give you the best view of your ears.
Step Six
Place the electric hair trimmer near your ear hair carefully. Do not insert the trimmer into your ear canal. Position the trimmer to trim only the hair that you can see.
Step Seven
Trim the visible hair around your ear.
Step Eight
Clean the trimmer as directed on the instruction pamphlet.
