How Ingrown Pubic Hairs Appear and What to Do About It
Ingrown pubic hair is one of those things that you never want to put together in a sentence, but it’s also common, even if no one talks about it. This video from Stuff Mom Never Told You explains how it happens and what to do about it.
Basically, whenever you shave regularly, with tweezers or wax, hair can grow back into your skin (because you’ve shaved against the fibers or you have a layer of dead skin that prevents hair from growing outward) and develop into ingrown hairs. In some cases, they may become painful or inflamed. Ingrown hairs are much more common in areas with curly or coarse hair, such as around the crotch.
The obvious solution is to just stop courting there, but that would be too easy, wouldn’t it? If you’re really into pubic hair removal and want to minimize the chances of those sneaky ingrown hairs appearing, the video suggests trimming your hair first, taking a warm shower or bath, using shaving cream instead of soap, grainy shaving, and exfoliating to cleanse those dead skin cells. But for some people it is impossible to completely avoid ingrown hairs.
