Causes of Ingrown Hairs and Razor Bumps 🪒

Pesky razor bumps and ingrown hairs can be caused by shaving too close to the skin and using dull blades. Coarse and curly hair textures are more susceptible to ingrown hairs. To avoid these issues, use trimmers that are set farther away from the skin, shave with the grain, and switch to a sharp blade. Get ready to enjoy smooth skin!

[@mr.brightside6119]

[@Realyst]

Been using Skin Tight for years. It's legit. Also, I think black men should consider shaving with a safety razor. I switched to one last year and I'll never go back to cartridge razors. It feels much better on the skin and its way cheaper.

[@danieladelakun471]

Thanks for the advice also ima take you up on this G !

[@Smoov7]

Before or after shaving

[@PseudoTertioo]

I have used a safety razor and I still get bumps. That’s one of the things that made me just grow out my beard which looks fairly better in my opinion than shaved. I just don’t think I was meant to shave. I still do it from time to see what’s underneath but it becomes a problem if I have to shave all the time

[@manofthetuba6857]

100%facts. I've stopped using regular multi blade razors due to having bad razor bumps. Bought a safety razor from dollar tree and noticed my bumps started to go away. I liked them so much that I ended up buying a legitimate safety razor. 1 note people, be careful. The safety razor us very sharp. If you have bumps, they will bleed

[@poundlandspeedwagonrequiem]

I’m not a jiggly black man but yes stuff like razor irritation, skidding and ingrown hair have been a foreign concept to me for the longest time courtesy of the might double edge razor, feels good man

[@agentalucard]

Switching from those disposable multiblade razors to a old school safety razor did wonders for me. not to mention the savings on blades. Looks like he's handy with that straight razor. That likely gives him a great shave. Great advise here all around.

[@renestaten5240]

This is a great video! What a lot of stylist and barbers are missing from their videos is the science behind it all. That you for including the science and formula. Keep'em coming dear.

[@kenzi.h]

I suggest to use a moisturizer enriched with vitamin C daily after shaving, my husband suffered all his life and used only trimmers. He used my vitamin C enriched during covid and he is now shaving and using it right after. It’s 4 years now and his skin is smooth.. I hope you’ll find this useful 😊

[@steveo6408]

Best razor bump breakdown I ever seen. Helpful for those who struggle with these, so glad I took care of this issue years ago and very seldomly get them now.

[@danielalcantar8047]

How did you take care of it

[@steveo6408]

@@danielalcantar8047 the main thing I did was stopped using razors. Getting a skin close shave creates a huge issue with razor bumps for people with coarse or thick curly hair. Use a trimmer and cut with the grain of your hair. Before and after you cut exfoliate your skin this way it can lift any existing trapped hairs and create a better environment to be cut. After you shave apply alcohol or witch hazel if alcohol is too strong for you. Finally moisturize with a non comedogenic moisturizer so it won’t clog your pores.

[@steveo6408]

@@danielalcantar8047 and if you do already have infected bumps don’t try to tweez or pop, apply peroxide as much as possible to dry it out and let time pass it will heal on its own. Trying to tweeze and squeeze will just create more issues/scarring

[@kennahycopatience5839]

How?

[@steveo6408]

@@danielalcantar8047 so basically you need to cut your facial hair and neck with trimmers. Cut with the grain of how your hair grows. This won’t be a skin close shave how razors would provide however skin close shaving is what causes the bumps in the first place. Before and after you trim clean and exfoliate to lift any current trapped hairs. After use alcohol if you have sensitive skin use witch hazel. Now if you already have ingrown hairs/infected bumps don’t try to tweeze them out. Just keep the area clean and use alcohol or peroxide to dry out the bump and use an exfoliant to shed the dead skin. Let time take its course trying to mess with it just makes it worse leading to more infection and or scarring.

It's also important to rinse with cold water after a shave. You close your pores when you rinse with cold water.

[@desmondjefferson2127]

After a shave, use a exfoliating sponge and brush HARD against the grain. The hair will release from poking back on the skin

[@commiesarehorrible7622]

Safety razor will help. Feather blades are the best. Also shave once a week. Get good shaving cream. And a good pre shave lotion.

[@masterchief3989]

I remember seeing a comment by an old school barber who had been doing so for over 40 years. He said, use a sharpened blade as often as possible, go ALONG the grain, nobody really minds thick beards unless you wax it off to get that smooth effect, and, get this: use cold water to wash off your shaved skin. Not sure what was the logic, maybe some dermatologist can expand on this.

[@FlorinArjocu]

Cold water closes the pores of the skin.

Skin tight is good advice even if it was at the end. Using a sharp dual edged safety blade rated as mild, and not doing a two or three pass shave is my preferred method.

Use conditioner after shaving to help soften the fresh cut hair

i love learning more about this stuff i am a girl who is prone to these especially where i tweeze and wax and it takes extra care with your skin to prevent them from getting out if hand

[@jimjam13]

I use one of those Olay face exfoliating spinning bristle brush things to wash my face after I shave, then a quick pat down of alcohol, and finish with a post shave balm lotion from cremo and I never get them, u gotta do the exfoliating Olay brush everyday along with that post shave balm but the alcohol u do till u see the hair break past that layer of skin.

[@LillykayYogi]

Regular peeling is also helpful for the hair escaping the skin....in all areas ;)

[@hibiki54]

Using those multi-blade razors is also what causes that stuff, too.

[@unpolitical]

I shave with a single blade razor. After I shower in hot water to open my pores, I apply shaving oil to my face and neck, then I apply shaving lotion. I use a fresh blade every time. The blade glides smoothly over my face. Afterwards, I use a cold towel on my face to tighten my pores, and apply cooling aftershave lotion. I used a popular black owned shaving produce. I shave every other day to prevent skin irritation.

[@kenp1563]

Skin tight is a great product. Also bump stopper and nixaderm

Trimmer worked wonders for me. The first time I shaved without them immediately got ingrown hairs but it does really depend on the hair texture- in areas where my hair doesn’t bend or curl ingrown hair is less likely so if your gonna use Anything aside from a trimmer know your body well

[@brax9804]

hey, what trimmer do you usally use?

[@demarcuslowery4299]

I’ve learned to take care of my skin better, but that skin tight is definitely legit, I’m always telling guys with the bumps about it.

After you shave when you do a skin care use a soft cleanser cera ve is good use also their pm facial moisturizing lotion it has niacimide . I had a bunch of ingrown hairs and this help alot . Exfoliate the skin. Also use single blade razors
