Use a body hair trimmer, such as the one included with this GilletteLabs Body i7 Elite Essentials Set if you want to trim ear hair effectively. Here’s how to get rid of ear hair with a trimmer:
- Clean and dry the outer ear area so that individual hairs are easier to see.
- Use a hand mirror or a well-lit bathroom mirror to spot visible ear hairs - you may need more than one to see your own ears from multiple angles.
- Select an appropriate attachment or comb for your trimmer or use it without one if you want to get as close to the skin level as possible.
- Begin with a longer setting if the hair is particularly noticeable - you can use a lower setting later to remove ear hair that’s shorter.
- Trim slowly around the outer ear only without pressing the trimmer hard against the skin.
- Work around the edge of the ear where hair growth extends beyond the natural contours of the ear.
- Check your progress regularly in the mirror to maintain an even appearance on both ears.
- Brush away any loose hairs after trimming and inspect the area for any missed spots.
- Rinse the trimmer’s head after use and allow it to dry so that it’s ready for future grooming sessions.
