1) What are ingrown hairs?


Ingrown hairs are body hairs that grow into the skin. These hairs grow against the natural direction of growth. This can cause various problems - such as inflammation, pimples and, in the worst case, boils.

These boils can even lead to sepsis. This is why it is important to prevent ingrown hairs whenever possible. But how do ingrown hairs happen?

2) Why does hair grow in the skin?

There are several reasons for ingrown hairs. In practice, there are 3 main reasons why hairs grow in the wrong direction - into the skin:

1. Sometimes a hair grows out of the skin normally, but then grows back into the skin. The reason for this is usually mechanical. This can be caused by very tight clothing that prevents natural growth. It usually occurs on areas of the skin that are exposed to movement and friction: under the armpits, around joints, or in the genital area. It is also common when people wear a bandage or cast for long periods of time.
2 Another cause of ingrown hairs is a blocked hair root canal. When the hair root canal is blocked, the hair cannot get past this obstacle. It then changes direction and grows into the skin. Dirt, skin particles or even sebum are often responsible for this. This often happens during shaving or other forms of body hair removal, such as waxing. Dead hair cells, skin flakes or even wax residue are left behind and then block the hair root canal.
3. If a hair grows out of the root canal for no apparent reason, it may have a natural kink. So that it grows into the skin. This happens, for example, when a hair is removed by waxing or sugaring and grows back. As a result, such a hair will also grow into the skin and causes inflammation.
3) What problems can ingrown hairs cause?

Ingrown hairs can cause all sorts of problems. The following image illustrates this:

When a hair grows in the wrong direction, the skin around it can become inflamed. This inflammation can develop on the surface of the skin or under the top layer of skin. These inflammations develop into pimples and, in the worst case, boils. In the worst case, this can lead to sepsis.

Sepsis, or blood poisoning, occurs when bacteria from the boil enter the bloodstream, lymphatic system, or brain. Prophylaxis is essential to prevent such serious medical problems before they occur.

4) How can ingrown hairs be prevented?

Ingrown hairs have several causes: While you have little control over bandages, it's a different story with clothing. The same goes for clogged pores, which are sometimes preventable and sometimes not.

Ingrown hairs are especially common with hair removal. Epilating leaves hair residue in the root canal. Shaving leaves behind dead skin, stubble, or cosmetics. These can interfere with the natural growth of body hair.

In addition, hairs removed by epilation or waxing often grow into the skin. They can grow out of the root canal because skin flakes interfere with the natural direction of growth. Hair grows out of and back into the skin. Obviously, any part of the body covered by clothing is especially susceptible.

In addition to regular personal hygiene, skin care plays a crucial role. Regular exfoliation can remove dead skin cells and even deep-seated dirt.

Once a pimple or boil has formed, it should never be squeezed. It is easy for the contents to get into the bloodstream.

A particularly simple and natural solution against ingrown hairs is the RasierSteinTM

The RasierSteinTM does not remove body hair by ripping it out at the root. Instead, the RasierSteinTM shortens body hair at the point where the hair emerges from the skin. This prevents body hair from growing out of the hair root canal in the first place.

After using the RasierSteinTM, your skin will feel smoother and softer than ever before. Simply because it removes body hair naturally and works like a body exfoliator. Your skin will feel softer and smoother than ever before.

So minimize the risk of ingrown hairs: use the RasierSteinTM in the future. This hair removal method does not require any additional cosmetics or accessories, so you can do it anytime, anywhere.
