How to Fix Ingrown Hairs Naturally

Ingrown hairs can be painful, unsightly, and frustrating. They happen when hair grows back into the skin instead of out, causing redness, bumps, irritation, and sometimes infection. With the right approach, you can treat and prevent ingrown hairs while keeping your skin smooth and healthy.

What Causes Ingrown Hairs

  • Shaving too closely or against the hair growth direction

  • Waxing or sugaring without proper preparation or aftercare

  • Curly or coarse hair that tends to curl back into the skin

  • Dead skin buildup that blocks the hair follicle

  • Friction from clothing or activity

Options to Fix Ingrown Hairs

Be Gone Line: Soothe and Prevent
The Be Gone Line is ideal for calming irritation and reducing the risk of ingrown hairs. Use Be Gone balms or treatments after shaving or waxing to soothe redness, reduce bumps, and help keep hair follicles clear.

Dark Spot Line: Fade Marks
If ingrown hairs leave behind dark spots or discoloration, the Dark Spot Line can help even out skin tone. Products like the Dark Spot Toner gently fade post-inflammatory marks over time.

Vanilla Bourbon Line: Hydrate and Repair
Dry, irritated skin worsens ingrown hairs. The Vanilla Bourbon Line delivers rich hydration through plant-based oils and butters, nourishing the skin, supporting healing, and preventing bumps from forming.

Be Cool Line: Refresh and Calm
The Be Cool Line, with spearmint and eucalyptus, provides a cooling, refreshing sensation for irritated skin. It helps reduce inflammation and discomfort from existing ingrown hairs while leaving the skin feeling rejuvenated.

Gentle Practices to Fix and Prevent Ingrown Hairs

  • Exfoliate lightly 2–3 times per week to remove dead skin and free trapped hairs

  • Shave in the direction of hair growth or trim hair instead of close shaving

  • Avoid shaving or waxing over irritated or inflamed skin

  • Keep skin moisturized with plant-based balms to reduce friction and dryness

  • Wear loose clothing over areas prone to ingrown hairs to minimize irritation
