An Article about Ingrown Hairs by Seasonal Trends

Ingrown hair is generally a condition related to shaving, waxing and other forms of hair removal.  However, it is possible to experience ingrown hair without hair removal.  Remarkably, a large proportion of men and women are affected by ingrown hair, possibly by the explosion of beauty salons and spas offering hair removal procedures.

Ingrown Hair, Razor Bumps, Razor Rash and the associated medical term Pseudofolliculitis are all nouns used to describe the same condition.  However, some may argue that ingrown hair pertain to hair that grows under the skin, whereas razor bumps protrude, curl and re-enter the skin.  Regardless the affects are the same whereby small red patches or spots are evident around the infected skin area.  For those with lighter skin tones spots appear red and in darker skin the area can appear darker.  In some cases the infected area can develop and cause pustules and even scarring if not treated.  Ingrown hair may affect those with curlier hair and darker skin more than others.

In order to treat ingrown hair it is important to understand the cause in more detail.  For example in the pursuit of perfectly smooth skin there is the tendency to purchase razors with three or more blades and to shave as close as possible, whether it be the face, underarm, legs or pubic area.  Shaving too closely may cause hair to retract back under the skin accentuating the problem even further.

1. Wash the area regularly with a good quality soap or cleanser
2. Apply a good quality shaving gel or foam during bath time or after a shower when the skins pores have been opened and cleansed
3. Shave the area in the direction that the hair grows with a disposable razor; on the face for instance this is usually in a downward stroke. (Try and replace your razor after every three shaves)
4. After shaving rinse the area well and pat dry with a clean towel
5. Now apply a good quality toner to remove excess oil and to refresh the skin using a disposable cotton wool pad (this may sting a little)
6. Now apply an ingrown hair treatment to soothe the area and allow to dry
7. Finally apply a good quality moisturiser
   

Having your own regime which includes understanding the direction of hair growth, cleansing and applying an ingrown hair treatment is the first defence in combating ingrown hair.
