Question:
I usually pluck my nose hairs for grooming. Is this allowed if some hairs are white? I don’t care about the color, just cleaning the area of any hair.
Can each white hair be plucked out one by one (like the black), or do they need to be plucked simultaneously with the black?
Answer:
Hello,
Plucking the hair from one’s nose is not included in Lo tilbach, because it is not something that women do, as they don’t grow hair over there. This applies even if only white hairs come out in any particular pluck.
Best wishes
