5. Men should shave correctly to prevent recurrence. Since most ingrown hairs are caused by shaving, the easiest way to prevent them is to grow a beard.
6. Try to do the right shaving. The longer the hair, the less likely it is to curl back into the skin, so try shaving less closely by using a single-blade razor or electric shaver instead of a multi-blade razor.
7. Do not forget to moisturize after shaving. Using a moisture-rich aftershave or lotion will soften hairs so they will not easily be able to penetrate the skin.
8. Unclog your pores. If your ingrown hairs are stuck underneath the skin, you probably have a blockage of the hair follicles.
9. We recommend using an exfoliating product or an acne cream containing salicylic acid. If you carry out skin exfoliation regularly with a loofah or mesh sponge after waxing or shaving, you will take off the thin layer of skin that strapping the ingrown hairs and set them free.
10. In case the inflammation extends beyond the immediate area of the hair follicle or persists for more than a few days after the hair has been freed, you should visit a doctor.
