I believe there are small scissors you can use which will fit in your nostrils and you can just do small snips to trim long hairs although I'm not sure on the matter either, and my gf gives me shit for it too.
I think most people would use a nose hair trimmer. If you go to a nearby drug store they should have one for pretty cheap. I bought one for like 5 bucks a long time ago and it only broke very recently.
It's great and so much more convenient than tweezing/plucking them out with your fingers.

Yeah, small scissors, though i've been known to use larger scissors on occasion, which works well enough to take care of the bad situations.
Though, i do get some sort of odd sensation out of ripping them our via hand...but definitely not the best way to do it.
I encountered this same, unfortunate situation several years ago. The electric variety of nose trimmers don't work very well, and tweezers hurt like hell. This is what I use. Unlike scissors, you can't cut yourself. Just be very careful about pulling away until you're sure you've made a clean cut. Otherwise, you're right back to tweezing!

hehehe i used to have a bad habit of ripping it off with my fingers, even though i didn't have a lot of it back when i was 15-16. i kicked the habit, though it was highly effective
Light a match or lighter right up to your nose all up in your nostrils, it'll burn all the hairs and it'll take forever for them to grow back. Needless to say, be careful.

I can not think of a faster or simpler solution.
Of course if you do not have balls or steel/have a brain, i recommend just purchasing a simple electric nose hair trimmer. They are under 30 bucks, will last like forever, and work like a charm.
My sister has this thing she got when she was younger where you could put yarn or string or ribbon or your hair and it would like.. twist and braid it or something. I was fairly small. We stuck it up my dad's nose when we were younger =D Cause we were curious. It took out a lot of hair =D
^_~
But yeah, like people have said, don't tweeze them, trim them. Tweezing could cause irritation blah blah nose will hurt blah blah. ~
I pull them out with my fingers sometimes. The smaller ones right in the nasal entrance seem to hurt the most and also seem to be the hardest to get and I tend to avoid those. The longer, deeper hairs are the more fruitful target.
I don't actually do this for any hygienic or aesthetic reason, although I will tweeze them out if I can see something in the mirror. It's more a case of I'm blowing my nose while I'm in the bathroom, get frustrated that there's gunk getting caught in there, end of pulling some hairs out to clean things up and then I get fixated on yanking anything that I can out.
It's also the only manly way to drain your tear ducts.
I used an electric nose/ear hair trimmer (only necessary for mah nose >_>) and it cleaned it up but they were short so whenever I had to blow or wipe or touch my nose it'd poke itself and make my eyes water and make me sneeze.
You put it in your nose so that the surface you want to cut hairs from is against the bottom, and then twist it while moving it around.
At first I was a bit nervous that it would cut or pinch me, but after using it for around a year now I've learned that I can just go to town without that ever happening.
Lol, thanks guys. Tweezing/using my fingers is out of the picture!
Thanks for those who posted links - I'll check 'em out. ^^ I was looking for some electric trimmers and didn't really know what would be good, so thanks. :D

grow it out use it to store small amounts of food (cheese, breadcrumbs, sauces)
when you are hungry stick out your lower lip and inhale sharply through your mouth, pulling a delicious meal out of your nose hair at will
you can also use this to feed your young when they are hungry just blow through your nose into their mouth to deliver them nourishing sustenance (make sure they are able to eat solid food)
women find this attractive because it shows you are self sufficient and a good father

I don't know which one of these uses is the most disturbing
I fucking love pulling out nose hairs. Nothing is more satisfying than plucking out an incher that has been bothering you for hours. Sometimes I feel like eating it like goldmember does with his dead skin. I need to start collecting them in a box.
apply sesame oil to the nasal follicles to promote growth of multiple fine straight hairs rather than few thick curly hairs the longer hairs will grow down over your mouth and can be used as baleen while swimming in the deep sea. when using nose hair in this way it is important to cultivate an environment friendly to the small fish who will inhabit your nasal foliage as they will keep it clean allowing plankton to pass through it as you swim. measure the pH daily and correct it by pouring a solution of urine (yours) and seal tears (not yours) through your nostrils with a neti pot (obtainable at your local pharmacy). harvest the seal tears by judiciously insulting the seals; beware: if you are too cruel, you might drive them to suicide, cutting off your supply. harvest the urine by regularly visiting the toilet ("loo" or "john" in some locations) and catching your effluent.
a well educated man knows that his nose-cosy is forged from similar stuff as the horn of the rhinoceros. therefore he cultivates tusk-like growths formed from his nose hair and uses them for a variety of purposes. here are some suggestions:
use the tusks to tear away the tough skin of the pine-apple fruit, exposing its juicy, succulent insides
carve a groove along the top of the horn. place incense into the groove and light it to make your odor more pleasant.
establish your dominance over other males in your herd. frequently waving your tusks is often enough to deter your foes and will win you a choice parking space or the last bottle of peanut butter at the grocery store when facing less virile specimens
erudite men sculpt their tusks into book holders and hold works of literature in them. in this modern age "eye pads" and "eye phones" can also be held by the tusks. experiment!
it is important while growing your tusks to guide the hair outward to ensure that the tusks do not simply cover your mouth and can be used for the above tasks also to make sure you don't look like an idiot
remember to keep a passageway to your nostrils open so you can simultaneously breathe and eat the foods you have won from inferior males
Everything I've read says, "don't do this," but it works well for me: Carefully use a lighter with a small flame. Do not put the flame in your nostril. Just hold it close, below your nose and the light nose hairs singe off with no pain. I have a full mustache and this works without lighting it on fire. I just use a finger to hold down the mustache hair out of the way.
Much less painful than plucking. More effective than using scissors.
