Nose hair is also a part of body hair, and its growth rate is mainly the same as the level of androgen. The sensitivity of hair follicles to androgen is related to genetics.
When androgen levels are elevated, hair grows relatively quickly, so men typically have longer nose hairs than women. The more sensitive the follicles are to androgens, the stronger the body hair. If the hair follicles are not sensitive to androgens, you won't have more body hair, even with high androgen levels.
Secondly, it is also related to air stimulation.
The growth of nose hair is affected by external stimuli. Nose hairs filter impurities from the air. When the air quality is poor, harmful substances and dust can irritate the nose hair, which will lead to vigorous growth of nose hair in the long run.
Finally, nose hair protruding from the nostrils is related to the bad habit of picking your nose with your hands.
There are many invisible "dirty things" on the fingers. Often picking the nostrils with hands will bring these impurities into the nostrils, irritate the nasal mucosa and hair follicles, and cause nasal hairs to grow. At the same time, picking the nostrils and pulling the nose hair for a long time will also change the original growth direction of the nose hair, allowing the nose hair to extend outward.
