How can i remove roller brush hairs from a painted wall?

Hi, i made the mistake of using a cheap roller, and now i can see tiny hairs in the paint on my wall. is there a way of removing these hairs with the minimum of fuss?How can i remove roller brush hairs from a painted wall?
Take some medium grit oxide sandpaper (or fine grit if your walls are not flat painted) and just barely run it over the hairs. This should easily remove them. If there are lots of them, then you can purchase a drywall sanding head, attach it to a sanding pole, and gently whisk it over your walls. This should remove the majority of the hairs. If you see any areas that have been dulled from sanding with too much pressure, you can simply touch up paint those spots, which takes very little time. Just don't repaint with that same roller :) How can i remove roller brush hairs from a painted wall?

Nope. Rub down and do it again with a decent sleeve. whenever im using a new sleeve i run my hand over it to remove any loose hairs prior to using it.
Are they sticking out? I think you could use a clean flame to burn them off without scorching,or if there embedded with clumps I would scrape an start anew, Does it look really bad? You might paint over with texture roller..
You might to repaint using a different fiber, next time use tape to remove excess hairs.
