Let’s be fair … sometimes ingrowns are going to happen. 👏🏼
Your hair texture, natural growth pattern, hormones, friction + how easily your follicles clog can all play a role. Some people are simply more prone to them than others.
What we CAN control is what happens next. 👀
Digging, squeezing + picking creates more inflammation and trauma to the skin, which can turn one little ingrown into a scab, dark spot or scar that hangs around way longer than the hair ever would have.
Treat it. Stay consistent with your exfoliation + aftercare. And PLEASE stop performing bathroom surgery with the tweezers. 😂🤎
