How to Stop Ingrown Hair & Itching After Waxing



Many of us have to deal with them - HOW ANNOYING IS THAT😩 It’s honestly not fair that right after shaving or waxing, it all looks nice and smooth, but one day you wake up and you see those ingrown hair. But let’s start at the very beginning…




What is ingrown hair?

Ingrown hair grows back into the skin instead of up to the surface🤯 They can look like raised, red, itchy spots on the skin. Sometimes you can also see a strand of hair under the surface. Do you have coarse or curly hair? Then unfortunately you’re more likely to get those ingrown hair.


Is ingrown hair painful?

When hair grows back into the skin, the body responds to the hair as if it were a foreign object👽 Then all the symptoms begin, including pain, itching, redness, or swelling. So the answer is yes, ingrown hair can be painful and itchy. You can also see pus in the spots.


Where do I get ingrown hair?

It’s not a surprise that you are more likely to get those useless ingrown hairs in areas you shave or wax the most often, so:

  • intimate areas

  • legs

  • armpits

  • face and neck

  • chest

  • back

What should I avoid after waxing?


Avoid these things for 24-48 hours after waxing:

  • wearing tight cloths (your skin needs to breath)

  • perfumed products, lotions, and creams, which can irritate sensitized skin

  • excessive activity


What should I avoid doing if I have ingrown hair?



  • Don’t pull or pick the ingrown hair - infection is not something you want to deal with…

  • Don’t squeeze any bumps - you don’t want to have an infection or a scar, right?

  • Don’t dig under the skin - if you actually want to remove the hair, please do it gently



How can I stop ingrown hair?

Here are some things you should do to minimize the risk of having ingrown hair.

  • wet your skin with water and use shaving gel if you shave

  • shave in the direction the hairs are growing

  • use an exfoliating scrub to help release any trapped hairs

  • use these products below, must is the post-wax and shaving serum, the oil and sudo crem are very helpful and good compliments
