Ideally, hairs are cut off level with the surface of the skin during shaving. In people with a tendency towards razor bumps and ingrown hair, the hairs are often cut too short.

The hair which has been cut below the skin level begins to grow through surrounding tissue rather than out of the follicle.

In other cases, hair curls round and starts growing back into the skin causing irritation and inflammation.

Ingrown Hair Removal Tips:

Depilatories produce rounded hair tips which are less likely to penetrate the side of the follicle.

Shaving produces sharp or pointed hair tips as do methods which break the hair such as waxing, tweezing and plucking. These are more likely to penetrate the side of the follicle and produce ingrown hair.

To overcome the problem, steam the face with a warm towel for about five minutes. Then use a loofah sponge to remove dead skin cells (exfoliation). Then shave the area.

For ingrown hairs which are deep, sterilize a pair of needle-nosed tweezers with rubbing alcohol and individually lift each ingrown hair out of its follicle. You may need assistance from a partner if it is difficult for you to see it. Wipe the area with alcohol afterwards and shave.

If needle-nosed tweezers are not available, wipe a pin or needle and the ingrown area with rubbing alcohol and carefully release the hair using the tip of the needle only.

Never jab the needle into the skin. After the hair is released, wipe the skin with alcohol again.

Do not use ordinary tweezers to release the hair as there is the risk of taking out a chunk of the skin with it resulting in more skin irritation and damage.

Ingrown Hair Removal Prevention:

Shave after the hair has been wet for at least 5 minutes.

Hair that is wet and full of moisture can be cut easily. Hair that is not well saturated can be very strong and tough.

As the razor passes over, the hair is pulled up from the follicle. After it is cut it retracts below the skin surface with the resultant risk of it growing into surrounding tissue.

Shave in the direction of the hair growth.

Cutting with the grain not against it will prevent hair being cut too short.

Avoid repeating strokes over the same area. Repeated strokes can also result in hair being cut too short.

Shave with the skin in a relaxed condition

Do not stretch the skin too taught. A little pressure may be necessary but excessive stretching can again result in hair being cut too short.

Ingrown Hair Removal Treatment:

Description: A post epilating or after shaving solution which eliminates ingrown hair, redness, bumps and irritation caused by shaving, waxing, tweezing and other hair removal methods.

Who Can Use Ingrown Hair Removal Treatment: Both men and women.

How It Is Used: For large areas, spray directly onto the affected area.

For smaller and sensitive areas such as eyebrows or bikini area apply with a cotton swab.

Apply liberally and rub in thoroughly immediately after every hair removal session. Then 2 to 3 times daily until the skin clears.

When Results Can Be Expected: Ingrown Hair Removal Treatment eliminates ingrown hair within a few days.

Where It Can Be Used: On any area of the body where hair has been removed.

The Pain Factor: Minor stinging may be experienced due to the alcohol content. The effect is similar to most aftershave products.

To minimize this effect for sensitive skin, allow 10-30 minutes after epilating or shaving before applying Ingrown Hair Treatment.

If using Kalo Hair Inhibitor Spray or Lotion, allow 2-3 hours before applying the Ingrown Hair Removal Treatment.

How It Works: Ingrown Hair Removal Treatment mildly exfoliates the outer dermal layer of skin while adding elasticity to the newly exposed hair.

This releases the trapped hair from under the constantly regenerating layers of skin.

Ingrown Hair Removal Treatment is effective for both the treatment and prevention of ingrown hairs.

Safety Standards: Ingrown Hair Removal Treatment does not use Acetylsalicylate (ASA) to deaden pain like some other products.

Even those allergic to Aspirin can safely use Ingrown Hair Treatment.

Ingrown Hair Removal Treatment also provides antiseptic and antibacterial benefits to skin.
