Why nose hair is 5 times thicker than head hair?

[arga]

Today I noticed that only one hair in my nose is way more thicker than my head hair and they grow just a few inches from each other. Maybe it is 5 times or 8 times thicker than my head hair. Did you guys notice that with yourselves and what are possible reasons and theories.

They need to be thick to remain rigid while you breathe in and out to prevent gunk from entering your body.

Which is why it's unhealthy to cut it all out of your nose.

5-times more intelligence resides in your nose. So, don't be so quick to pick your boogers and flick them at people.

No, you have a unique and unresolvable problem and should be quarantined for the sake of those wishing not to vomit...!

I don't cut mine, I burn mine off. I use a Zippo lighter carefully put it under my nose and slowly burn the hair down. It lasts a lot longer than using scissors. It stinks for a couple days, but worth it. I hate hair.

Mrs. Danger posting that pic really makes me wonder about alternative uses for that device.
