How to Remove and Prevent Ingrown Hairs
Ingrown hairs are a common skin concern that can show up as bumps, redness, or rough, uneven texture. They often happen when hair gets trapped under the skin due to clogged pores, dead skin buildup, or shaving.
This is especially common in sensitive, high-friction areas like the bikini & intimate area. If you’re searching for how to prevent ingrown hairs (not just treat them), you’re in the right place — because long-term results come from fixing the root cause: skin congestion.
What Causes Ingrown Hairs?
Ingrown hairs occur when hair cannot grow out normally and instead curls back into the skin. This is usually caused by a combination of blocked follicles and irritated skin.
Common causes include:
- Shaving that cuts hair too close to the skin surface
- Dead skin cells blocking the hair follicle
- Curly or coarse hair that grows back into the skin
- Tight clothing and friction (especially around the bikini area)
- Sensitive or reactive skin
When pores stay blocked, new hair struggles to break through cleanly — which is why ingrown hairs often keep recurring.
How to Prevent Ingrown Hairs
Just as the skin on your face benefits from professional facial treatments, the skin in the intimate area also requires specialised care.
The vulva is sensitive, prone to friction, and often affected by shaving and hair regrowth. Without targeted skin treatments, congestion can build up beneath the surface — increasing the likelihood of recurring ingrown hairs.
This is where a Vajacial comes in.
What Is a Vajacial?
A Vajacial is essentially a facial for the skin of the intimate area.
Just as facial treatments are designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin on your face, a Vajacial focuses on improving skin health around the bikini line and vulva.
Restoring skin balance, leaving the area smoother, fresher, and more comfortable. Rather than treating surface bumps repeatedly, a Vajacial focuses on improving the condition of the skin itself, so hair can grow out more naturally over time.
Our Vajacial follows a structured, skin-first approach:
