I onced pulled out an ingrown hair from my chin that was so long that I’m convinced it was in me for years. My family was both disgusted and impressed. Sad I lost the hair. 🤷♂️
@@claro_ve6760 checked on a ruler and it was roughly about 3 inches in length. Took a photo of it lol I was waiting at a Starbucks drive thru line when I pulled it out.
This guy has a very animated face when he speaks. It's like every computer-rendered face that's been animated used him as a template. Not a bad thing, of course. :3
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS for PREVENTING OF INGROWN HAIRS: 1. THOU SHALT NOT USE DIRTY BLADES! Using a blade that's been used way too many times. Yes, this one may be obvious, but be sure to keep your used tools as clean as possible. Soap and rubbing alcohol will destroy bacteria. Pro Tip: even brand new blades need to be cleaned. 2. HONOR THY DELICATE SKIN! Too many blades! If you are prone to ingrown hairs then you don’t need 3 or more blades. More blades equal more passes causing the hair to fall beneath the skin and become ingrown plus more blading the skin leads to micro cuts through which bacteria is more likely to enter and this leads to razor burn. 3. DO NOT TAKE PREP TIME IN VAIN! You should be using a warm/hot water prep (3-5 mins). Then leave the shaving cream on for more than 2-3 minutes to really soften the hair. The hair stubble should literally fall away with little or no pressure at all. Pressing hard is the problem! Be gentle ya'll. 4. THOU SHALT NOT GO AGAINST THE GRAIN! Shaving against the grain (upwards) may get you a closer shave but doing so also increases ingrowns. Shave in the direction of hair growth…it’s usually downwards. Check by doing a face/ body inspection to see which way your hair grows. 5. THOU SHALT NOT PRESS! Pressing too hard on the skin with the blade. A gliding, light touch is all you need. This is likely your biggest issue. 6. THOU SHALT NOT PASS, PASS, PASS! Too many quick passes with the blade. One pass per hairy area - going 1-2 inches downward at a time - will prevent ingrown hairs. Always shave like you might cause damage, not like your mowing the front yard lawn. 7. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT OVER SHAVING! Shaving too many times. This rule is hard to follow, especially if you have to be beardless for your career…but if you are prone to ingrowns, try shaving with an electric clipper (the barber kind of clippers). The results are not super close but no one but you will know the difference. Ladies: try waxing, Nair, or an epilator provided your skin can handle these alternatives. 8. THOU SHALT NOT CLOG! Use of skin/pore clogging creams or lotions keep hairs from growing up. After a shave, keep your skin bare; let the tiny army breath, and allow those newly shaved, really small, microscopic hairs to grow out just in time for the next shave. If your objective is smooth, bump-free skin following a shave or wax then, right after, your goal should be to allow the skin to heal first. Promote healing by proper shaving techniques followed by 70% rubbing alcohol (this kills any bacteria that may enter those micro cuts created from the shave). Using a dab of TendSkin prevents the onset of razor burn. Sure your skin will be a little dry at first but this is a temporary tradeoff. Give it a few hours and let the moisturizing commence! 9. KEEP THY SMOOTH SKIN FREE! At least for the first day or two, try to avoid tight fitting clothing around the Adam’s apple (neck) and/or below the waistline region. Newly shaved hair follicles need room to raise up. 10. REMEMBER TO EXFOLIATE! Whether you shave, sugar, wax or epilate, not enough exfoliation to remove excess layers of skin can lead to ingrown hairs. There are two types: chemical exfoliation (AHA, BHAs) and physical exfoliation (beads, coffee scrubs, gloves, brushes). Use an ingrown hair brush for razor bumps as directed. Make sure it’s a brush that has gentle bristles designed to tease newly shaved hairs away from entering the skin before they can become ingrown. If you have sensitive skin, then go with the soft and firm bristles. Try a Wizker brush and you’ll prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs permanently!
I get them all the time after a shave at the barber. They a lot of the time get really big swellings. I'm thinking you have cut low but not all the way to prevent
Related topic: After I shave, should I immediately put exfoliating stuff to prevent ingrown hairs? I have a tough time with razor cuts, ingrown hairs, acne, dark spots due to shaving
You should exfoliate before you shave and then a few times a week after you have shaved. I'd use a mixture of chemical and physical exfoliation as the tougher skin on your body can take it and I've noticed best results when incorporating both.
If I may… exfoliate first and apply Apple cider vinegar( dilute a little with water) after as well and I always have my clients apply a benzoyl peroxide ( I love Persa gel by clean and clear ) I hope this helps. I have other tricks🙌🏻🍑Lisa
I used to get these when I would wax (and I have curly hair). Lightly scrubbing with loofa when you shower and ‘Tend Skin Solution’ was the end to my ingrown hairs. Hope this helps
Not to get too gross, but you might find this interesting as a doctor. I've been active my whole life, and was recently training to join the military, when I started having problems with inflammation in my lower back, starting with a hotspot right on my tailbone after doing situps. (Yeah, wish they weren't an Army requirement...) Fast forward a couple weeks, and the problem got super bad, to the point where my entire lower back would stiffen up like I had a 2x4 stuck in there. I literally had to massage my back for almost 2 hours to get up one morning. Eventually, a head formed (I don't know exactly how long it took) and I discovered that I had developed a Pilonidal Cyst (sorry, not going to describe it here lol) and it was really bad. I tried multiple things to relieve the pain, and hoped it went away. We couldn't afford a visit to the doctor at that time, and we were already stretched to the breaking point financially with a family member fighting a losing war with cancer. In comparison my problem wasn't that bad. So I decided to try self-surgery. I set up mirrors and whatnot, and got some good lighting. Eventually, after much...pressure relief let's say, I had a literal breakthrough. A bundle of hair came shooting out of the follicle, and immediately the nausea I'd had over the last couple days vanished, and I felt like life was worth living again. I later did some...further investigation, and found that the bundle of hair I removed was comprised of 68 individual strands. Now, I still have scarring, and unfortunately the problem persists albeit on a much smaller level. I do hear that I'll probably have to get legit surgery to fix the problem for good though.
I’ve had an ingrown hair right on the line of my lip. It was halfway on my lip so the doctor didn’t want to cut it and remove the hair because he didn’t want me to have a scar on my lip. It stayed in there for months and god really red and big. We were scared it got infected but (warning this is kinda gross) One morning I was checking on it and a big white clump of puss slid out of it (the hair came along with it) and onto my finger then it started bleeding. I had to stay home that day because I couldn’t put a mask on without it hurting, I still have a scar there but I’m glad its gone. It hurt so bad
Should have pulled it out... the feeling of it coming out is so amazing. The more it hurts the better.. I have this weird addiction to plucking hairs out of my finger and toes (big toes) sometimes I fantasize of having a smile to medium size hole on my finger and then a hair growing inside of it. The feeling would be cool I think
Be careful of ingrown hairs. I had one on my back, thought nothing of it. It turned into a pylonidal cyst the size of a tennis ball and almost killed me. Urgent care thought nothing of it sent me home with antibiotics. I went to work (at a hospital thank God) and went in septic shock and passed out. 3 hours of surgery and a month of recovery
My brother in law started to develop a small bump on his right upper cheek, like where the cheek bone is. He thought he must of bumped his cheek after a night of partying. But very slowly, over time, it kept getting bigger until it was like as wide as a quarter and was about 2 cm high at the center. We finally convinced him to go to the doctor. In his defense, he was working long hours and was a single parent, so I think he was worried about how much time he might have to take off work or that it could be cancer. Being afraid of cancer, when you have a small child to take care of, does make you nervous to go to the doctor, even though everyone thinks they would go right away, don't judge, it really can make you feel sick about finding out it is true. Anyway, he did go and it was an ingrown hair that had become cystic. He was able to have day surgery to have it removed. The family, helped create a fund to cover the days he missed from work. But this could have gotten a lot worse over time. He hadn't developed a blood infection, luckily as this can be fatal. If you have a family member who is not wanting to get a medical issue looked at, talk kindly, without judgment. It might be a money issue or they maybe really afraid of the outcome. Once you understand why you and your friend with family and friends support can come together to find a solution. FYI many women are afraid to get a mammogram and offer to go with them, without judgment, will help them go. Be supportive of your loved ones and friends. 💗💗💗
Yikes! I have one right in the back of my head on the edge of my hairline close to my ear. It hurts so bad! I hope that it will just go away and I don’t go through something like that👀🙏🏾
Man, I got ingrown hairs on the top of my head when I was around 20 in three spots, all right next to each other. They all got infected, swollen, and painful. I have three scars from it, not really noticeable. Two are very small, one the size of a nickel. I used to shave my head for years, with my own clippers. Didn't really EVER maintenance them, and they got pretty dull. They ended up pulling a patch of hair out, not cutting it. That's what led to the ingrown hairs. Can't believe I used to shave my head. I got a great head of hair on me, what an idiot I was.
Reminds me of a weird lump I had on my leg as long as I can remember. I scratched it a couple months back then noticed I had blood all over my hand. My leg was bleeding and I could feel something jagged at the source. I got a tweezers and extracted 2 unknown seed like things and another piece like a sliver of glass. I kept them for a few weeks and my morbid curiosity would have me look at them every so often
My bf gets them every now and then, it's satisfying pulling them out, squeezing anything else in there out, and cleaning it, idk why he gets them so much tho
So happy your talking about this. I think this is so interesting. I am so tired of people with absolutely no practical knowledge of skin, giving advice, making harmful videos and people listen 🤷🏽♀️🍑🙌🏻Lisa
Don’t wax! As a holistic master esthetician of almost 4 decades trust me on this. Shave daily and apply diluted Apple cider vinegar afterwards. I have other tricks. IF, IF, IF you must wax be sure the tech does not DOUBLE DIP the stick. Each time she touches you it should be a new stick. If not and if this is her practice, everyones bacteria before you is now in the wax. Shaving is easy if you maintain and prepare the skin before and after. I hope this helps. Just some extra skin love 🙌🏻🍑Lisa
I have had a lot of ingrown hair in the past and then I discovered sugar wax! It's def more gentle than regular wax, it's antibacterial due to the main ingredient, which is sugar, and it helped me a lot with ingrown hair! Ask your esthetician or search it on RU-vid just for more info! In winter I diy it with a recipe (it's just sugar, lemon and water) and in spring/summer I buy it from Amazon because mine melts too much (it's a sort of slimy paste). Hope you'll solve your situation! (*＾3＾)/～♡
@@PeachesSkinCare hi. For me, shaving also causes ingrown hair, and it gets really itchy. I have tried waxing and shaving, but everything causes ingrown hair.
I’ve done this on my thighs 😬 I’ve noticed over time it fades as I exfoliate my thighs with an exfoliating glove and a moisturizing body wash & then I moisturize my thighs with Nivea or Jergens (anything that you find moisturizes your skin the best) because soft skin fades dark spots better than dry skin.
I still have ingrown hairs and I always just tweeze them out with a tweezer but my dad always thinks I’m removing scabs off my skin so I always have to do it in secret. He still scolds me about having multiple scabs on my skin and every time I have to sit down and explain to him that I’m just plucking out my ingrown hairs
@@catus-cactus once a week, on sundays. My dermatologist had recommended wednesday and Sunday, but was making zero difference because whenever I shave the next day I would have an irritation on the neck. I started doing only on Sunday because exfoliation soap is expensive over here and doing twice a week would last me less than two months (I can't really be paying 50 bucks every month for just the exfoliation soap, I still have to buy moisturizer, sunscreen and other things, which would amount for almost 3 to 4 hundred bucks
@@eduardolimaargimon5499 have you tried safety or straight edge razors? Sometimes those help for people who get razor bumps and have sensitive skin. Might help for you as well.
@@4444csw I use a safety razor and I shave in the direction of the hair growth, I'm already aware of it. Before shaving I shower with warm water and let the follicles open, I then proceeded to use a pre shave oil that helps to reduce irritation and to soften the hair, also helps with the razor passing the skin with more ease. I wait 5 minutes (as indicated on the the bottle) and then I use the cream, which is for people with sensitive skin, I wait 5 minutes (as indicated on the bottle) and I shave, slowly, not too tight against the skin and in a certain angle to help shaving with more safety, I only pass the razor twice at each spot as is recommended. After that I wash everything off with warm water and wait a little before using cold water to close the pores and use the after shaving balm (after drying my face with gentle touches of the towel, which is a towel I use only for my face and I change towels everyday). Like I said, exfoliation won't solve it for everyone, the same way salicylic acid won't work that well for everyone I use once a week and I still have those dark spots (oil) on my nose. I have a very oily skin.
Its true though, I know people who can shave, never exfoliate, and never get an ingrown hair and have perfect looking skin. Then there is me who can follow every guide on exfoliating and shaving and get lots of ingrowns every time 😣
I had a really bad ingrown hair on my hair not too long ago that got infected. It was painful and took almost 2 weeks of regular chemical & physical exfoliation to decrease the size of the bump to the point where I could pull the hair out. It was such a relief once I was finally able to safely pull it out.
My legs have these all over them since i was a child. Unfortunately i can never remove each of them and i also have to shave. But i wish there was a way to remove them.
