  0 0 Ingrown hairs occur because microscopic trauma around the opening of a hair follicle stimulates skin cells to grow and stick together, sealing over the follicle, as if they were sealing a minor cut. Prevent ingrown hairs by shaving not so closely, leaving the cut hair at or above the skin surface. Avoid tiny nicks to the skin around the follicle by using a sharp new razor blade with an effective guard and good lubrication, or safer yet, use an electric trimmer.

  0 0 tendskin i get it in liquid form, but i think they make a gel too. it's awesome for after shaving or waxing. not only does it help prevent ingrown hairs, but it makes the shaved skin incredibly smooth. it's very strong though, so make sure to use lotion after it dries if you have sensitive skin. you can get it at most drugstores. new york state of mind answered in Health & Fitness about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Have you ever tried using clippers or one of those little trimmers made for bikini lines? I've found less problems using those.

  3 0 Jezebel just tackled ingrown hairs as part of their Beauty Disasters column this weekend: Some topical tips mentioned: deoderant, witch hazel and salicylic acid. http://jezebel.com/5618982/beauty-101-your-beauty-disaster-questions-answered I find that using a scrubby mitt to exfoliate helps too - use it every day, not just on days that you shave.
