Tips on how to Remove an Ingrown Hair

Tips

 * Always make sure razor is clean before use. Invest in a good quality shaving cream too, as some kinds even say they prevent ingrown hairs.
 * Try not to squeeze the ingrown hair as this can either damage the skin, making it raw or break through the skin, which can get it infected and/or harder to heal.
 * Make sure to keep the area very clean. Washing the specific area very thoroughly every time you take a shower will help.
 * You can (almost) sterilize your tools by boiling in water or by cleaning with alcohol (contrary to popular belief, alcohol does not kill everything under the sun, but is better than leaving the tool untreated).
 * If you can't see the hair initially, leave the warm, moist compress in place for a while longer.
 * If it burns or has reddish bumps after, use a moisturizing cream to spot away redness. Vaseline works very well too.
 * Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer on any area prone to ingrown hairs. Non-comedogenic products don't clog pores.
 * The longer the hair, the less likely it is to curl back into the skin, so try shaving less closely by using a single-blade razor or electric shaver instead of a multi-blade razor.
 * A company called "Razoraid" makes a tool that looks like a needle with a slightly curved end (not quite a hook, but almost). This tool can get under, and lift, ingrown hairs easily. Of course, you could make your own by bending the tip of a sewing needle or hat pin if you were frugal.
 * Don't shave unless necessary. If you shave every day most of your hair grows quicker, but not all of it. That is where an ingrown hair comes from.
