Reader question: ingrown hairs
wicked_fairy13 asks: I have an ingrown hair problem which I didn't use to have, it started a little bit more than a year ago and I have used No Bump Rx Treatment By: GiGi to prevent them and it didn't do any difference. I don't want to keep buying products that aren't going to work, do you know of a really good product that can help me prevent and get rid of existing ingrown hair?
I would suggest using one of the following products right after you shave: The Art of Shaving's Women's Ingrown Hair Night Cream or ZIRH Erase
Prevention is also key with ingrown hairs. So, in between shaving, waxing or epilating, definitely use a good body scrub. By removing the layer of dead skin on the surface, you'll help ensure that new hairs don't become trapped and ingrown. Even just using a washcloth and gently scrubbing will help a lot.
