What is an Ingrown Hair?
There are individuals who sometimes confuse ingrown hair as pimples because of its resemblance to the latter. Ingrown hair is far too different from pimples and hives. It grows as a strange bump in your scalp and other parts of the body. Ingrown hair curls and grows back into your skin instead of growing upwards like a normal hair strand. Ingrown hair is very uncomfortable and irritating to the skin. Moreover, it can be painful and turn into a cyst which is only removable through a surgical procedure if untreated.

How to Treat Ingrown Hair
Ingrown hair is not a debilitating medical condition despite the discomfort it offers. Find out this ingrown hair treatment which you can use to prevent it from growing in your skin. Here are some healthy hair care tips that you should follow to help you cure ingrown hair on your skin.
- For facial and pubic ingrown hair.
If you use a razor to manage your facial and pubic hair, make sure to know the best shaving techniques to avoid increasing the number of your ingrown hair. Before shaving, wet your coarse hair with lukewarm water. Also, apply glycerin or shaving cream to soften your hair and prevent your condition from worsening. Also, practice a healthy hygiene to unclog your pores and using skin care products will also help to lessen your ingrown hair. If your ingrown hair is too many in number, ask a medical professional on what is the best step to treat your condition.
- For ingrown hair in the scalp.
Be attentive in caring for your hair. Shaving your head is not the best option if you have a naturally coarse and curly hair. This will only lead to more ingrown hairs. Try to grow your hair out but not too long. In addition, never wear hats, caps or anything to cover your head. Using hat will cause your head to sweat which will irritate your ingrown hair preventing it to heal faster. Most of all use a shampoo formulated to regrow hair and treat ingrown hairs. Shampoos like NisimNewHairBiofactors are formulated to remedy ingrown hairs. Furthermore, this kind of shampoo helps in boosting your hair and scalp health by blocking sweat, oils, and dirt that worsens ingrown hair.
