THE MEN'S ROOM

Chances are that if you shave you have experienced an ingrown hair. Men and women alike suffer from them and we all know they are not fun, not to mention unsightly AND painful. I've seen men in my chair who are afraid to shave for fear of the ingrowns! Today that worrying STOPS… Because I've got the ultimate guide to ingrown hairs for you: what are ingrown hairs, why we get them and most importantly, how to treat and prevent them from coming back.

Ingrown hairs are the result of the hair growing back into the skin. Why do so many men (and women) suffer with this?

Let me help shed some light on this.  But first, I need to establish that knowing the correct way to shave is the #1 step to reducing ingrown hairs.

So let's begin.

Two things you MUST stop doing!

Guys let's face it, shaving nicks are the worst! No one likes them and they take away tons of time when you're trying to head out the door, So here's a trick I use whenever i'm in this very bad situation.

 Items needed: Cube of ice (1); alum block / or stick; styptic powder

• Step 1: Apply the ice cube to the nicked area for at least 15 seconds. (This slows down the bleeding.)
