These tiny hairs are called "cilia", and their purpose is simple: they line the respiratory tract in order to trap dust and dirt that we inhale. They do this by moving from side to side and catching the particles, aided somewhat by mucus. The dirt particles are then carried to the back of our throat, where we swallow them, leaving the stomach acid to kill the bacteria and other microbes. Smoking anaesthetises these cilia, so they are no longer mobile, making them inefficient in trapping germs, leaving the smoker prone to infection.
they help clean the air that you breath in thru your nose. if you've noticed, people that breath in thru there mouth normally have yellower teeth. the hairs catch bacteria and other air polutints that your body doesn't want you to breath.
The little hairs in your nose are called cilia. Cilia are used to help keep dirt and dust particles from going into your lungs. when the cilia have collected enough dirt, it mixes with mucus and ends up as mucus excertement (boogers). Make sure to blow you nose often and to not sniff dirt!
These can act as filters and traps for dust, pollen and other small particles so that they don't move into the lungs.
They're there to help trap dust particles - to stop them going into the lungs.
They help to filter out dust in the air before the air arrives at the lungs.
Tiny hairs present in the nostrils
Some people think nose hairs block the large air particles while the mucus captures tinier air particles including tiny microbes like bacteria and viruses. But judging by the ability of microbes to infect people through the air, the theory seems weak. Still there is the possibility that the theory could be right.

The Dustagrabba cells. Kidding, cilia.
The nose is the sense organ of smell. The nose allows us to smell because of special 'nose hairs' found further up in the nose away from the part we can see. these hairs pick up the smell of the surroundings send an appropriate message to the brain then the brain interprets it, and gives an identification of the smell.
No. There are only hairs inside of the nose, which serve to clean the air that you inhale - breathing through your nose is better for you because the air is cleaned - dirt is trapped in the mucous and hair in your nose. If you breathe through your mouth, there is very little to clean the air.
Yo nose hairs get burnt and fallz out!
to prevent dust to come inside our nose
Skin mucus in your nose hairs on the inside of your trochea and nose saliva
The nose is protected by cilia. Cilia are the tiny nose hairs that are found inside the nose. The cilia catch dirt and particles to prevent them from entering the nose.
They're there to help trap dust particles - to stop them going into the lungs.
inside the nose, tiny hairs clean the air by catching dirt and other particles. the air also warms as it travels through the nose.
Nasal hairs
The hairs and the mucus inside the nose trap and collect dust, bugs and other debris and prevent it from entering the lungs.

Nostrils are mainly what the human race breathes out of, but, other than that purpose, they also help protect it by: Having hairs: the hairs on the inside of your nose (Yes, everybody has them) trap foreign materials. Mucus: the mucus on the inside of your nose also traps foreign materials. This is also why we get allergies. Foreign materials enter and the body's response is to create mucus along the nostrils to protect your respiratory tract further.
