What Is An Ingrown Hair

An ingrown hair is a hair that has curled in and penetrated the skin with its tip instead of growing outwards. Commonly known as razor bumps, ingrown hair generally results in inflammatory conditions. Ingrown hair is described by the medical term pseudofolliculitis barbae or PFB. People with curly hair are at a higher risk and while almost 65% Afro Americans are afflicted by this condition, only 20% white Caucasians face this problem.

· What Are The Causes Of Ingrown Hair?

The main cause of ingrown hair in both men and women is hair removal through techniques like shaving, tweezing, electrolysis, waxing and cream depilation, which often irritates the hair follicle and results in an inflammation. While men generally encounter razor bumps on their faces, women may have ingrown hair on legs, underarms, bikini area and any other place where they might have carried out hair removal. People with dry skin are at a higher risk of getting ingrown hair. Stiff, curly or coarse hair is also more prone to getting ingrown. Other factors that cause ingrown hair are genetics, build up of dead skin cells that clog pores and hair follicles that are full of oil.

· What Are The Symptoms Of An Ingrown Hair?

The most common symptom of a ingrown hair is inflammation of the skin. While at times this can be painless, it is generally accompanied by tingling, itching and redness. In many cases, an ingrown hair results in a painful pus filled blister. Many a times, ingrown hair gets infected by yeast, bacteria or fungi, further exaggerating the problem.

· How Is An Ingrown Hair Diagnosed?

Ingrown hair symptoms vary from person to person and the best way to diagnose this condition is to get it examined by a dermatologist.

· How Is Ingrown Hair Treated?

In case you have inflamed ingrown hairs that keep getting infected or are very painful, then you should get them treated at a dermatology clinic. Treatment of ingrown hair generally involves the use of electrolysis and depilation.

· How Can You Avoid Getting Ingrown Hair?

In cases where a tendency to have ingrown hair isn’t genetic, this condition can be avoided through proper skin care and depilation methods. A skin care regime that involves regular moisturization and exfoliation will make your skin soft and smooth, providing less resistance to growing hair and result in a decrease in the number of ingrown hair. Make it a point to exfoliate with a loofah every time you take a bath and moisturize your skin afterwards with a body lotion.

Dermatology experts also suggest that one should shave in the direction of the growth of hair instead of shaving in the opposite direction. While this might not give you a very close shave, it will definitely prevent ingrown hair. Both men and women should apply an aftershave lotion to avoid infection of hair follicles.

I was away from home and unfortunately for me, I forgot my normal products for treating my shaving problem.

I came across www.acne.org which is another great free resource site, there was some helpful advice regrading acne which really goes more or less hand in hand with ingrown hair to an extent.

I took the step to buy Sudocrem, it was fairly cheap and quite easy to come across.

The result has been ok, not up to what I was used with my regular ingrown hair treatment products, but I was away from home; so it what was better than nothing.

It has a mild sting to it, and you need to make sure that you apply a very small film of on your skin.

If you take a big dollop, it is really hard to rub in and you will have white slighty greasy spots where it doesn’t rub into the skin that well.

A small amount, just a light touch of the product with your fingertips will  leave enough to cover the affected area, if you need, you just need to repeat the process until the areas affected by ingrowing hair are thoroughly covered.

It doesn’t reduce the effect o the ingrowing hair and will suffice until you get a better product.

This is a picture of an Infecedt Ingrown Hair:

This is just a mild infection, in some cases the ingrown hair may need to be operated on, as it may have gone too deep into the body.

In this particular case, all that needs to be done is just stop shaving for a bit and allow the hair to grown out. Whilst the hair is growing out, you need to keep a constant eye on it and moisturise it daily. Scrubbing it also helps speed up the healing process.

The new Schick Quattro Bikini Razor produced by Wilkinson Sword has finally arrived in the UK with a somewhat funny advert to boot.

The advert is loosely based on the US version but a bit more in your face.

It’s been designed specifically as a Bikini Razor  for trimming and around that area.

It has a mixed review at the moment on Amazon, with some users being very pleased with it and some saying that it wasn’t that great.

Here’s the video for the advert:

Kalo Ingrown Hair Treatment works to combat ingrown hairs and razor bumps, as well as calm and cools the skin after shaving or waxing. Kalo offers a painless option for hair removal for facial and body hair – even located in sensitive or “private” areas.

It is estimated that users generally find that 10% of unwanted hair becomes inhibited after each session of hair removal that involves Kalo Ingrown Hair Treatment. However, all users will not react in the same manner or time frame to this product. For example, certain body parts will produce varied responses. In regions where the hair is thin and weak (like the facial hair of a woman), Kalo reaps quick results. The ingrown hair treatment will take longer when faced with hair that is medium, coarse, or thick.

Instructions On How To Use Kalo Ingrown Hair Solution

The herbal solution is applied to affected body parts three times on the day of hair removal and three times on the following day. There is no need to use the product again until the next time you wish to shave or wax. Over time, hair regrowth emerges weaker, slower, and finer.

Suggestions For Ingrown Hair Treatment

In order to reach the closest shave possible without irritation, it is suggested to use a blade to remove hair, especially a razor that possesses multiple blades. Over time, using Kalo Ingrown Hair Treatment can significantly decrease the number of times you will have to shave.

The amount of product that you will use per body part will depend on the size of the body part, level of dryness, and how absorbent your skin. When tackling smaller, sensitive areas (like the eyebrows, upper lip, or bikini line), the smaller bottle of Kalo Lotion will suffice. The bigger 118ml or 4oz bottle is better for larger areas (like the legs, back, and chest) – the product lasts for about three to eight uses.

Some of the best results come when a user has physically removed tough hair through waxing or tweezing. That is obviously a personal decision and you would need to see whether you need to wax yourself or get a tweezer for the job.

The manufacturer claims that it can be used safely by those suffering from Aspirin allergy, obviously I’m not a doctor, so if you do have an allergy from Aspirins just check with your doctor before using to be on the safe side.

Kalo can be used by both men and women.

You can get Kalo from Amazon
