After using Veet wax strips, ingrown hairs appeared — how can this be avoided?

Ingrown hairs are a common side effect of mechanical depilation, including the use of wax strips.

This happens when the hair cannot break through the hardened layer of skin and starts growing inward.

🛡️ How to prevent ingrown hairs:

Exfoliate the skin 24 hours before depilation and regularly (2–3 times a week) afterward — this reduces the risk of clogged pores.

Apply gentle moisturizers after each procedure — dry skin increases the chance of ingrown hairs.

Follow the correct removal technique — pull sharply against the direction of hair growth.

Do not reuse the same strip on the same area.

If you are prone to ingrown hairs, consider switching to depilatory cream or laser hair removal.

If ingrown hairs become inflamed or cause pimples, treat with an antiseptic and avoid squeezing them.
