Products (or tips) for ingrowing hairs

10 replies

Not sure I’ve posted in the right topic but I need help with in growing hairs.

I had a full Brazilian wax 7 weeks ago and loved it for 3 days and then have had bad issues with ingrowing hairs, along with nasty angry spots, since then.

So far I’ve tried gentle exfoliation, coconut oil on after the shower, even some adding my Dermalogica product on to help bring the spots out (as well as popping them once I can). But they look awful and it’s pissing me off that everybody else seem to have a wax or shave, and not get the same problem. It’s only at the front and it looks awful.

I know people will say it’s the beautician but I truly believe it isn’t. She’s been doing her job for 25 years, she knows what’s she’s doing.

I keep seeing products on my algorithms for this type of thing but no idea if it’s gimmicky or not.

Any tips or advice? (Please don’t say don’t wax as I want to continue to do it)

Palmers body lotion. The aha one. It is brilliant at uncovering ingrown hairs.

Ameliorate has great reviews but I've not tried it yet.

None of the things mentioned above worked for me and I tried everything. The only thing which made a difference was laser hair removal I’m afraid.

it doesn’t have to be too expensive though - Therapie (chain laser salon) has some brilliant deals and they also do referral bonuses. I only paid about £240 for ten sessions on my underarms and (full) bikini.

Another vote for laser. It'll work wonders. Do you have fair skin and dark hair? It works the best on that combo.

i do have fair skin and dark pubes @Bookshipper will have a look into laser
