How to Avoid Ingrown Hairs After Waxing (And Keep Your Skin Smooth)

😫 Ingrowns? No Thanks.

You just got waxed and you’re feeling ✨smooooth✨—but a few days later, those itchy, angry little bumps show up. Ugh. The good news? You can prevent ingrown hairs after waxing. And I’m here to show you how 💁‍♀️

At Solara Sol Beauty in Crawfordville, I not only give you the perfect wax—I also teach you how to keep your skin glowing and bump-free between visits.

🔬 What Causes Ingrown Hairs?

After waxing, your hair grows back softer and finer—but if dead skin cells block the follicle, the hair curls back under the skin = ingrown city.

✅ Top 5 Ways to Prevent Ingrown Hairs After Waxing:

1. Exfoliate Gently, But Consistently Start exfoliating 2–3 days after your wax and continue 2–3 times a week. Use a gentle scrub, mitt, or chemical exfoliant (like glycolic acid).

2. Moisturize Daily Hydrated skin = happy skin. A non-comedogenic, fragrance-free lotion keeps your skin soft so hairs can grow out easily.

3. Wear Loose Clothing Post-Wax Tight leggings trap sweat and bacteria = bad news for pores. Let your skin breathe after your wax!

4. Skip the Gym (Just for a Day) Sweat + friction = inflammation and clogged follicles. Wait 24 hours before intense workouts.

5. No Picking or Squeezing! Tempting? Yes. Helpful? Never. Picking causes scarring and makes the situation worse.
