Ingrown Pubic Hair: Removal and Post-wax Care

Ingrown pubic hair is a widespread problem because the hairs in the bikini zone are thicker and curlier than hairs on any other part of your body. Hence, there's more of a chance the hair will grow inside the skin instead of out. The thicker hairs are, the sharper the tip, and the more quickly it's able to pierce through the skin. Curly hairs also have a natural bend, which makes them twist and turn inside the skin. When these factors are put together, you have a high probability of having an ingrown pubic hair.

And, if all this sounds obnoxious, that's because it is. Ingrown hairs can be unpleasant, repulsive, and even harmful if they become severely infected.

However, you're not always prone to ingrown hairs. With a little prevention and knowledge, you can have the best of both worlds: a soft, hair-free bikini line without bumps.

Post Hair Removal Care

Taking care of your skin will also prevent ingrown pubic hairs, regardless of whatever hair removal method you choose. The old adage that "prevention is better than cure" seems particularly right when your clothes are chafing against your newly shaved bikini line.

You should exfoliate the area often. Regular removal of dead skin cells helps keep hairs pointing up instead of growing on dry patches. Usually, you must exfoliate the area at least once a week. However, the ideal recurrence depends on your skin type, the other waxing products you use, how often you wax, and the weather. You can try using a towel instead of harsh products to exfoliate, but avoid anything particularly coarse.

The most common You also want to moisturise frequently. Make sure you use a deep moisturising lotion after showering, so skin stays soft and pliable. When skin is smooth, it's not as easy of ground for the hair to breakthrough. Keep yourself well hydrated from the inside by drinking water throughout the day.

Watching the clothes you wear is also essential. Any fitted clothing around your bikini zone over the first few hours after shaving can encourage the hair to grow back into the skin.
