We've all had them. Those painful red bumps that really ruin that smooth look you were going for when you shaved or waxed. Ingrown hair is a common issue that almost everyone faces at least once in their lifetime. These strange bumps are not exactly pimples. Ingrown hairs are hairs that have curled around and grown back into your skin. Folliculitis, an infection of the hair follicle, may follow, possibly accompanied by the formation of a pustule that resembles a little pus-filled pimple.

Dead skin can clog up a hair follicle by forcing the hair inside to grow under the skin. Even when naturally curly hair is shaved or cut too close to the skin, the sharpened end of the hair can pierce the skin, causing an ingrown hair.

Ingrown hairs are caused by waxing or shaving, and are most common with thicker, curlier hair. So the two worst places that you could suffer those nasty bumps are the pubic and the facial areas.

How to prevent ingrown hair:

  • Exfoliate your face at least 2-3 times a week to tease out any stubborn ingrown hair.
  • It’s very important to shave with single-bladed, sharp razor.
  • Shaving in the same direction of the hair growth helps prevent ingrown hair.
  • Soften your skin with warm water before shaving.
  • Don’t shave too close to your skin. Leave a little bit of stubble if you can.
  • Stop tweezing and waxing. When the hair is pulled entirely out of the follicle, its tip might break, which can easily lead to ingrown hairs.
