Why ingrowns happen
An ingrown forms when a new hair curls back into the skin instead of surfacing, often trapped under dead skin cells. Dry skin, tight clothing and shaving between waxes make it worse.
The 3-step prevention routine
1. Exfoliate: 2–3 times a week with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant (glycolic or salicylic). 2. Hydrate: daily light, non-comedogenic oil keeps skin supple so hairs push through. 3. Stay consistent: waxing every 4–6 weeks weakens regrowth and dramatically cuts ingrowns.
What not to do
Never dig at an ingrown with tweezers or a needle — it scars and can cause infection. If one appears, exfoliate gently and let it surface, or ask your esthetician at your next visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get rid of ingrown hairs after waxing?
Exfoliate gently 2–3 times a week, moisturize daily, and let the hair surface naturally — never pick or dig, which causes scarring.
Does regular waxing reduce ingrown hairs?
Yes. Consistent waxing every 4–6 weeks thins regrowth and, combined with exfoliation, is the most effective way to prevent ingrowns.
