WHAT IS AN INGROWN HAIR:
So firstly, lets talk about what is an ingrowing hair. An ingrown hair is a hair that has grown back into and under your skin rather than emerging from and through it. Dead skin can sometimes block a hair follicle (this is where the hair emerges from). This blocking can push the hair to grow horizontally under your skin rather than up and out through it.
Here are some tips on how to recognise ingrown hairs and where they occur most often. Some of the most common signs and symptoms of ingrown hairs to recognise are similar to how spots usually appear on your face. Here is a list of a few:
- Small, firm, rounded bumps (these are known as papules)
- Small pus-filled blister-like bumps (these are known as pustules)
- Darkening of the skin near the area of the ingrown hair which may be associated with pain and itching
- And in some cases, you may see hairs actually rooted under the skin
Some of the most common areas where ingrown hairs pop up are in areas where you shave. These include your face and neck, scalp, legs, armpits, chest, back and groin area.

HOW TO GET RID OF INGROWN HAIR:
Ingrown hairs are irritating, but most of the time they can easily be treated in the home. Here is a quick way to treat:
- Using a warm washcloth, apply it to the ingrown hair and rub in a circular motion, this may help to uncurl the hair.
- If this does not work, rubbing a very soft toothbrush in a similar motion over the area may help unclog the follicle and release the trapped hair.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED TREATMENT FOR INGROWN HAIR:
Now, if an ingrowing hair becomes a bit of nuisance and keeps on coming back when you shave, wax or tweeze, you make need some other treatment options.
Before we go into these options, if you are in this situation, please speak to a healthcare professional as all the following options require you to speak with a professional.
So, first is if your healthcare professional needs to physically remove the hair. They can make a small cut with a sterile needle or blade to release it.
Your healthcare professional may also prescribe medicine which can include:
A steroid cream that you put on your skin to ease the swelling and irritation
A medicine that can remove dead skin cells and reduce skin pigment changes, this is called a retinoid
Antibiotics that you take orally or a cream or mild antiseptic to rub onto your skin to treat or prevent an infection
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION:
The good thing with ingrowing hairs, is that in most cases you won’t need to speak to a healthcare professional. However, if the ingrowing hairs are still happening even after you have tried all the tips in this video, I would recommend you speak to a healthcare professional.
Other times when to speak to a healthcare professional, is if the ingrowing hair or area around the hair is more painful than usual and is hot, red or swollen. Also speak to a healthcare professional if you feel feverish and your temperature is really high, or you feel hot, shivery, or quite unwell.

the 10 COMMANDMENTS for PREVENTING RAZOR BUMPS & INGROWN HAIRS
1. THOU SHALT NOT USE DIRTY BLADES!
Avoid shaving with dull, over-used razor blades. And be sure to keep your slightly used tools as clean as possible. Scrub the cutting heads of your tools with soap, hot water, and rubbing alcohol to destroy bacteria. Pro Tip: even brand new blades still need to be cleaned.
2. HONOR THY DELICATE SKIN!
Avoid too many blades! If you are prone to ingrown hairs then you don’t need 3 or more blades. More blades equal more passes causing the hair to fall beneath the skin and become ingrown. Plus, more blading the skin leads to micro cuts through which bacteria is more likely to enter and this leads to razor burn.
3. DO NOT TAKE PREP TIME IN VAIN!
Wash or steam the skin for 2 to 3 minutes with warm water. Then apply the shaving cream leaving it on for at least 2 minutes to really soften the hair.
4. THOU SHALT NOT GO AGAINST THE GRAIN!
Shaving against the grain (upwards) may get you a closer shave but doing so also increases ingrowns. Shave in the direction of hair growth…it’s usually downwards. Confirm this by doing a face/ body inspection to see which way your hair grows.
5. THOU SHALT NOT PRESS!
Avoid pressing too hard on the skin with the blade. If you follow STEP #3, then a gliding, light touch is all you need. The hair stubble should literally fall away with little or no pressure from the blade. Pressing hard is the main cause of shaving irritation! Be gentle so as to prevent the hair from being cut so low that it falls beneath the top layer of skin.
6. THOU SHALT NOT PASS, PASS, PASS!
Avoid too many quick passes with the blade. One pass per hairy area - going 1-2 inches downward at a time - will prevent ingrown hairs. Always shave like you might cause damage, not like you’re mowing the front lawn.
7. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT OVER SHAVING!
Avoid shaving too often. This rule is hard to follow, especially if you have to be beardless for your job…but if you are prone to ingrowns, try hair removal with electric clippers (the barber kind of clippers). The results are not super close but no one but you will know the difference. Provided your skin can handle these alternatives try waxing, depilatory, lasering or an epilator.
8. THOU SHALT NOT CLOG!
Avoid using skin/pore clogging creams or lotions since they keep hairs from growing up. After a shave, keep your skin bare; let the tiny army breath, and allow those newly shaved, microscopic hairs to grow out just in time for the next shave. If your objective is smooth, bump-free skin following a shave or wax, then right after hair removal allow the skin to heal first. Promote healing by proper shaving techniques followed by 70% rubbing alcohol which kills any bacteria that may enter those micro cuts created from the shave and prevents the onset of razor burn. Sure your skin will be a little dry at first but this is a temporary tradeoff. Wait 2 hours then moisturize.
9. KEEP THY SMOOTH SKIN FREE!
At least for the first day or two, try to avoid tight fitting clothing around the Adam’s apple (neck) and/or below the waistline region. Newly shaved hair follicles need room to grow up.
10. REMEMBER TO EXFOLIATE!
Whether you shave, sugar, wax or epilate, not enough exfoliation to remove excess layers of skin can lead to ingrown hairs. There are two types: chemical exfoliation (AHA, BHAs) and physical exfoliation (beads, coffee scrubs, gloves, brushes). Exfoliators like the WIZKER brush have soft and firm bristles. When you follow these 10 tips religiously, you’ll prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs permanently!
