Scientists tell us that the inner membrane of your nose is home to as many hair follicles as are found on your head. Over a lifetime, each of these follicles can grow to more than six feet in length. Think about that; your nose hair could cover a standing Steph Curry. The reason you can’t make dreadlocks out of your hair follicles is that they tend to be thin and break easily. But as you get older, they grow thicker and longer, becoming more noticeable. While this may not exactly work wonders for your grooming, it will for your health. Your nose hairs work to keep dirt and germs and other disease-causing objects out of your body. So the longer and more densely they grow, the more effective they get at doing their job.
