Dear pro beauty therapists and geeks:
I got my legs waxed for the first time and have developed a lot of ingrown hairs (not deep they are like sideways and stuck to the skin, and no redness but they are many, more than 100:cry.
This happened two weeks after waxing. I followed all direrctions including exfoliating (using body puff) and daily application of TendSkin.
I have some questions:
1) Is shaving a better option to prevent ingrown hairs? I have searched online and some people say shaving produces more ingrowns than waxing, but other say the contrary. I am confused as to which of the two methods has less possibility of causing ingrown hair.
2) If I continue to wax, will the ingrowns diminsh with subsequent treatments?
3) I read that hairs start to grow thinner after repeated treatments, how many before that happens?
I have previously waxed and shaved underarms and pubic areas and never got problems with ingrown hairs.
Thanks for your support and patience!
