Why ingrown hairs happen and how to prevent them
Where ingrown hairs come from
Razors and tweezers both put stress on the skin. Shaving cuts hair at an angle and creates tiny abrasions, while tweezing can damage the follicle and leave the hair weaker as it grows back.
The repair cycle
When the skin tries to heal quickly, its natural renewal is disrupted. The surface thickens, the hair struggles to break through, and it starts growing sideways under the skin. The result is redness, bumps and sometimes inflammation.
Why it keeps coming back
Once a follicle has been damaged, ingrown hairs tend to return in the same place. That is why many people feel stuck with them, even after trying different products.
How to break the cycle
Stop shaving and tweezing for a few weeks and let the skin recover. Sugaring removes hair in its natural direction of growth, so the follicle stays intact and the skin can renew itself properly. Combined with gentle exfoliation at home, most guests notice a clear difference within two or three visits.
