what is the best way to prevent ingrown hairs?

Answer 1

This is a common problem for people with curly hair because the hair has a tendency to grow back at an angle instead of perpendicular to the skin.

You should exfoliate your skin daily using a loofah sponge or a body scrub. If done regularly, it will remove dead skin cells preventing hair from getting trapped underneath.

Here are some products that might help: http://www.drugstore.com/templates/stdplist/default.asp?catid=48050&trx=GFI-0-EVGR-MCN&trxp1=151&trxp2=48050&trxp3=2&trxp4=ML

Answer 2

Use Pumice stone (available in chemists)and rub it on the skin after u lather the soap on the skin during shower.It not only prevents ingrown hairs but also reduces the time for growth of new hairs.

If you are talking about hair from shaving, shave with the direction the hair is growing. If you are talking about hairs on the rest of your body, get laser treatment or exfoliation of some kind. Good luck
