Hey guys in this article we're going to learn  all about ingrown hairs, we're going to learn what   they are firstly then we're going to learn how you  can prevent them what to do about them and when to seek medical advice about them.

I would highly recommend you read the full article and learn everything about the topic okay so first  of all we know what is ingrown hair.

■ WHAT IS INGROWN HAIR?

what is an ingrown hair it's very simple it's exactly what it says in the name it's a hair that hasn't popped out of the skin so it's growing underneath the skin so it's ingrown.it hasn't  grown out yet now one of the most common causes  for this can be dead skin we can get dead skin  forming on top of the skin which doesn't allow the hair to grow out and instead it grow horizontally 

in terms of signs of symptoms to be aware of  for an ingrown hair it's pretty simple the most  common symptom that you've got to look out for  is a bump on the skin where there's no hair coming  out now usually in that bump it's dark it's dark in color because your hair follicle is stuck in  there it hasn't come out and sometimes it can get infected as well and become filled full of pus as well this can happen. now the most common places to get an ingrown hair are usually places where people shave or cut hair

so for example your face your hair if you're getting a fade for  example if you're getting a really low grade cut.if you shave any of your body anywhere on the  body hair that you potentially shave with a razor they can all be at risk of getting an ingrown hair.

so now that we know all about the science to  look out for for an ingrown hair the next question  is how can we prevent it happening in the first  place so we're going to go through some tips and  see what we can do.

one of the most common causes of an ingrown hair come from shaving from  that shaving and cleaning the hair very close or  if you've got curly or coarse hair it can then  cause the hair to kind of flick and retract  underneath the skin when it gets underneath it's  then very difficult for it to get back out so i tell you some advice

1.WARMING THE SHAVING AREA

warming that area before  shaving now you may have seen at the barbers  sometimes if you're seeing a wet shave being done  they get a hot towel and warm the area and this  is a perfect example of warming up that area to  help this not to happen so preventing it from  

happening by keeping the skin moist and warm it's  going to prevent the hair follicles from getting  blocked also keeping the area moisturized as well  is going to help tip number one it's all about warming up the area before you shave and also  moisturizing the area moving on to tip.

2.DIRECTION OF THE HAIR GROWTH

it's all about shaving in the direction  of the hair if your hair is growing this way shave in that direction don't shave this way  yes it's going to get a closer shave if you shave backwards but you're just putting yourself  at a higher risk of getting ingrown hairs and if  you're someone who's quite prone to them and  that's probably why you're read this article then that is the best thing that you can do to  prevent it from happening.

3. USE CLEAN ASSECIORIES

it's all about keeping that razor  clean so for each stroke that you do  Lclean the razor wash it with water  so that the blades are nice and clean to prevent ingrown hairs from occurring.

4.LEAST NUMBER OF STROKE

it's all about again using the least number of strokes as possible you don't want  to be constantly getting your razor and going up  and down on the same area this is just going to  put you at higher risk of getting an ingrown hair.also once you're done shaving you need to cool  down the area potentially with a cool towel just to cool down your skin and help it retract and  lastly make sure that you're using a new razor  each time that you shave you don't want to be  using a dull blade dull blades can again increase the risk of getting an ingrown hair.

so these are the tips that you need to be doing to prevent it happening in the first place.now one last thing before we move on to treatments of an ingrown hair some people are just at higher risk of getting  ingrown hairs because their hair is curly because they have thick hair for example you commonly see razor bumps on certain people who have thick beards who are using a razor unfortunately razoring might not be the best option for someone who has a thick beard like that because it's all  it's going to do is help that skin get under the  skin and get trapped causing those razor bumps  also known a pseudofolliculitis so it might be where speaking to a healthcare professional as  well about different treatments that are available  for example maybe using a cream to remove hair  or also maybe getting laser therapy to get that hair removed on those certain regions that are  very very thick okay so we now know all about  preventing ingrown hairs but what are you gonna do  if you do have an ingrown hair?

which is probably one of the best things that  you can do is all about getting a small little wash towel putting it in some hot water make sure  it's not too hot that you burn yourself of course wring it out make sure it's the cloth is warm and apply it on the area let's apply it to the area let it get nice and  warm for a bit then continue keep it  on there for a couple of minutes let the  skin get nice and warm and then rub it in a circular motion this is really gonna help  get that ingrown hair to come out of that hole and  pop out of the skin it's a bit of a time consuming process but it can work really really well so warm washcloth bring it out keep it on the skin let the skin get nice and warm and circular motions. 

you can also get a very very soft toothbrush and rub it in a circular motion on that area  this will eventually hopefully get that  hair follicle to come out and become  exposed and stop being ingrown. 

now these are the two top methods for getting an ingrown hair to  come out the safest methods that are available but remember one of the main things that you need  to do if someone is prone to getting ingrown hairs.you really need to look at what is that cause  what is causing it because all you're gonna dofor example if you're constantly shaving with  a razor it's just going to aggravate and keep on increasing those ingrown hairs and keep on  increasing your risk of potentially getting  infected and have any problems so you really  need to reflect and think to yourself well i'm doing this and it's making my ingrown hairs worse what are my other options could it be that i start trimming my hairs instead you know or  if you're constantly getting waxed and then it's causing your own hairs could it be that you trim instead or try a different hair removal therapy.

now another good idea is to wear looser clothing  if you're wearing tight clothes that can also increase your risk of ingrown hairs remember  how we explained how it can go into the skin  and then not come out so tight clothes can also  do that they can rub and cause that friction and potentially get more ingrown hairs and more  problems for you so looser fitting clothes are  also a good idea if it's anywhere on your body now  in certain situations this is the only situation i would ever advise using a steroid tweezer

Check out this Tweezer

 if you  see that the hair follicle has come above the skin line so it's there it's above the skin line so  you're not damaging the skin you can then use the tweezer to sort of grab the tip of it and pull out  the remaining ingrown hair this is the only time i would recommend doing this i wouldn't recommend  using the tweezer to go into the skin to almost surgically go in and get the hair follicle out  this is a definite no-no and all it's going to do is potentially cause you infections and many different problems now another tip that might help dead skin cells are causing those ingrown hairs as well it's stopping  it from able to come out so one tip is exfoliating but you don't want to be exfoliating too much  maybe once a week or even twice a week maximum  and that's just to get rid of that dead skin cells  that are on the area if it's somewhere you're more  prone to getting it you know maximum twice a week  preferably once a week 

Check my favriout scrub TREE HUT SUGAR SCRUB

Now if the ingrown hair is becoming a nuisance it's not coming out  it's stuck there.The last thing you want to do  is doing anything sort of surgical and trying  to get it out specially healthcare professional.

there's many different options available one  of them is that they can use something sterile to get it out or for example they might give  you some different forms of treatments they might give you certain creams they might give  you certain steroid creams to use in the area  or they might give you some antibiotics because it  might even be infected so there are many different options that your healthcare professional can do but don't do it on your own because you're just putting yourself at risk now in terms of  seeking medical advice sometimes like i said the ingrown hairs can get infected so what  are the signs to look out for so for example.

● if the area of the ingrown hair is getting red  
● it's hot to touch
● it's angry 
● it's getting worse  
● if there any puss

it's spreading these are all signs of infection .these are definite signs of infection  so this is what you need to be looking out for so if you're struggling with any of some sort  of symptoms you need to speak to your healthcare professional because if you don't get that treated  you can just become worse and worse and cause you  many different problems so i really hope you found  this information helpful you now know all about ingrown hairs what they are what causes it how to  prevent it in the first place which is probably one of the most important things when we're trying  to get rid of ingrown hair what to do about them  when to seek medical advice so you're a bit of  an ingrown hair pronoun i really hope that this  information helps you let your friends know let  your family know let whoever knows that might  be suffering with ingrown hairs as well or just  share them this article whatever's easier for you
