I tweeze my underarms and pubic area, but then i get ingrown hair there! what causes ingrown hair and how do i get rid of it?

• Answer:

  ingrowing hairs are when the removed hair grows back on itself into the hair follicle, they can be prevented by wearing loose fitting clothes around areas where hair has been removed. Also exfoliating regularly to help keep the skin smooth so that no dead skin blocks the hair follicle. you can remove them by warming the skin and hair with a damp warm facecloth on the skin so it softened the hair so it is easy to remove. try using a god pair of pointy tweezers to tease the hair out of the follicle but do not pierce skin as it can lead to infections. after the hair has been removed appply antiseptic cream or lotion :)
