ABOUT IN-GROWING HAIRS
In-growing hairs can be caused by:
- Any type of waxing due to the build up of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin.
- Weakening of hairs not being able to push through the skin.
- Weakening of hair pores, which can no longer give correct direction for hair growth, causing hair to grow inwards.
- Wearing tight clothing after a wax which blocks pores.
- Dry skin also plays a big role in encouraging in-growing hairs. Exfoliating and moisturising is essential.
Please speak to our therapists regarding any ingrowing hair issues and they will advise you on how to combat this problem.
