Ingrown Hairs (After Shaving or Threading)
What is the problem?
Ingrown hairs happen when a hair grows back into the skin instead of rising up to the surface. Instead of coming out smoothly, the hair curls or gets trapped under the skin. This can cause red bumps, itching, and sometimes even pain.
Most people notice ingrown hairs after shaving, waxing, or threading, especially on the face, underarms, legs, or bikini line. These bumps can look a lot like pimples, and if left untreated, they may lead to dark marks or even infection.
What causes the problem?
Several reasons can trigger ingrown hairs:
- Hair removal methods – Shaving too closely, pulling hair from the root (like with waxing or threading), or using a dull razor can make hair grow back in the wrong direction.
- Dead skin build-up – When skin isn’t exfoliated, dead skin cells block the hair follicle, forcing new hairs to curl underneath.
- Curly or coarse hair – People with curly or thick hair are more likely to get ingrown hairs because the hair naturally bends back toward the skin.
- Friction and pressure – Tight clothing, repeated rubbing, or sweating can push hairs back into the skin.
How to fix the problem
The good news is that ingrown hairs are treatable and preventable with the right care:
- Gentle exfoliation – Regular exfoliation clears away dead skin cells and gives the trapped hair a clear path to grow out.
- Proper hair removal techniques – Shaving in the direction of hair growth, using a clean sharp razor, or choosing professional hair removal methods reduces the chance of hairs curling back.
- Hydration & soothing care – Moisturising helps soften the skin, while calming treatments reduce redness and irritation.
- Professional treatments – If ingrown hairs are stubborn or causing scars, professional skin care services can help unclog pores, calm inflammation, and speed up healing.
