ingrowns?
Waxing removes hair from the root, so the end of the follicle maintains a natural beveled edge when the hair grows back. But without proper technique, waxing can lead to ingrown hairs. That is why waxing causes ingrown hairs if not done properly. Done right, skin waxing will pull the hair right from the root.
sometimes they happen
consistent waxing and prevention is key to ensuring you don't get ingrowns
exfoliate in the days leading up to your appointment by gently brushing the hair up and away from the skin
(this is done generally in the shower using a gentle manual exfoliant like a mitt)
