How To Avoid Ingrown Hairs

I had a gentleman named Ali ask "Have you ever tried to wax with exfoliation vs without exfoliation? For example, one leg with exfoliation and one without to see the result." What a great question! While I have not had the same customer try exfoliating one leg and not the other to see what would happen, but I have experienced this in general! I always have customers that will not exfoliate in-between waxing appointments no matter how much I beg them. I also have customers who always exfoliate in-between waxing appointments! Because of this, it is very easy to tell the difference between the waxing sessions due to how the hair responds. My customers who don't want to exfoliate will have more issues with the hair not poking through the skin correctly and having access dead skin on top. While my customers who always exfoliate will have perfect waxes and don't have to deal with ingrown hairs or the hair not coming out! Exfoliating is SO important when waxing since the hair gets softer and finer. This makes it hard to push through the skin, resulting in an ingrown hair. Regularly exfoliating eliminates this issue drastically!

I’m obsessed 🤩 I despise my body hair and I’ve tried everything except hard waxing. I tried soft waxing about 10 years ago at home. Bought the whole Gigi kit. Made such a mess every time with those strips that I eventually threw it all away. I don’t like going to a salon for waxing because I’d rather do it myself in the privacy of my home, but now I feel confident after watching some of your videos, that I can get this on my own with enough practice. Your videos are so helpful, thank you.

I exfoliate 2 times in a week but I still get lots of ingrown hair/bumps ,I have a very sensitive skin I am so desperate what should I do plz?

[@sunupontheflowers]

Suggestions for someone who already has Ingrown hairs ? I worry about picking at them or getting infections depending on where they are. :) thank you again !!!

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Have you tried using PFB Vanish? It has worked wonders with my clients that are prone to ingrown hairs. Using PFB and exfoliating regularly should help! I would get one of those exfoliating gloves at the store. Use that in the shower with a quality scrub! I use Hylunia's Grape Seed Body Scrub.

[@aaliyahallen-sellers3547]

@@hissnkittenwaxing I’m a little late but what is PFB??

[@cas04aa]

@@aaliyahallen-sellers3547 PFB Vanish. It’s available on Amazon.

[@iolucerito]

Addicted to your videos, thank you so much for all this info. 🥰

[@courag3ous1]

I saw one of your videos where PFB vanish with chromabright was recommended. I found it on Amazon and read the reviews. Several of the reviews recommend using a moisturizer after applying the pfb because of the skin peeling afterwards. What moisturizer is safe to use that won’t clog the pores?

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Hylunia has some great moisturizers!

[@plantdaddylady]

Maybe you already do but carrying exfoliating mits and shower pads and scrubs and selling them might help the clients that don't exfoliate and also upsell!

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

You are absolutely right!

[@chf9514]

What do you suggest using for exfoliating?

[@29miguel1996]

wow thats some real beauty

[@christiwaxes9423]

How soon before a wax should someone exfoliate? Same day? Day before? Thanks in advance

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

I suggest my clients exfoliate a couple times a week and the day before waxing!

[@brandylee9258]

Great question Christi! So exfoliation should be done continuously? Meaning in between waxing and day before..how about when to start exfoliating after the waxing? ( BTW: I am a recent esthetics graduate and your videos are extremely helpful...so Thank you!!)

[@lovegyal3966]

If client doesn't exfoliate is it okay to exfoliate them and add that to their service

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

If you want to, it would take too long for me to do that but definitely charge them for it!

[@InspireBridges]

What is exfoliation

[@trentonc9141]

Hi, thanks for the info. I hard waxed my pubic area (I'm a guy). How long before the hair starts to grow back? Should I be exfoliating 24-48 hrs after waxing or wait a week or two for when the hair starts to grow? Otherwise, I can be scrubbing down there while no hair is growing yet. Or does hair start to grow at the root right after waxing? Thanks

[@trappz_io2620]

Why are you waxing down there in the first place if you’re a guy. Just use an electric shaver.

[@jadetries]

@@trappz_io2620 Don’t be so judgemental and stereotypical. If a guy wants a smooth downstairs he has just as much right as a woman. What’s the issue?

[@aliyaansar3805]

Thanks for answer

[@UHSumona]

Hey! Can you please suggest me how can i store leftover melted wax?

[@daisylomeli4888]

What exactly is exfoliating and what are some good products? I know no one that exfoliates so i could ask questions. Could you make a video on it or maybe link some good videos on what is and how to exfoliates. Thanks in advance!

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Sure no problem!

[@mamtabhandari117]

How many times we have to exfoliate in a week?

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Normally twice a week is good!

[@faketankmlbb679]

Mamta Bhandari at least two.

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Yes definitely!

[@Prettyviews123]

I used soft lemon wax... I always have problem of Ingrown hair.. I don't know what should I do?

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

I would recommend using hard wax! Never liked soft wax.

Thank you so much!

[@marwamessaoudi8390]

Thank you

[@K.Adler1120]

How do you properly exfoliate the bikini line? I use a loofa with some gentle unscented soap, is that enough? Been searching around, still haven't found an answer

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

I love using those exfoliating gloves that you can get from the grocery store!

[@327Stargirl]

Thanks!

[@moise8617]

Do you ever exfoliate your client prior to service? I often think about it since I do exfoliate my clients sometimes before makeup application.

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

That would take too long, but I've definitely wanted to at times!

[@MayaMBee]

With exfoliating the only drawback is your tan is exfoliated too :(

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Unfortunately yes lol

[@ashleyfanning7908]

Can you wax over skin tags? I feel like you can’t just like you can’t wax over moles with hair. I could be wrong.

[@jadetries]

I’ve waxed over a mole of mine, as it didn’t have any hair growing from it. I would imagine the same applies to skin tags, as long as they’re not literally hanging on by a thread. Hard wax does not adhere to the skin like soft wax does, so there is much less risk of injury to the skin, including skin tags.

[@vinayaksansiya]

When to exfoliate after waxing????

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

About a week or 2 after waxing! I actually just made a video explaining this, go check it out :)

[@royalqueen1203]

How to Exfoliate??

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Hello! I recommend something with beads to use in the shower (I love Hylunia's Grape Seed Body Scrub since there is no artificial ingredients or fillers). Using an exfoliating glove works wonders as well! I also love PFB Vanish to use in-between waxes which helps the hair push through the skin. Hope that helps!

[@royalqueen1203]

HK Wax Center - Austin Arbor actually i have lots of ingrwon hair on my legs😔

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

Have you tried using a scrub in the shower to get the dead skin off?

Which of the starpil wax would you recommend? I see the original and the polymer blend but is the original pretty good even though it is cheaper?

[@hissnkittenwaxing]

They are both amazing! I personally use the blue more but that's just my preference.
