Did you know that there are different types of ingrown hair? 🤔 You can get ingrown hairs when your hair grows back into the skin instead of up to the surface.
🚨 friction ingrown hair: when friction caused the hair to grow back into the follicle
🚨 tornado ingrown hair: when hair cannot exit the follicle and turns back and continues to grow in a spiral motion
🚨 trapped ingrown hair: when hair has been trapped in the follicle and no longer continues to grow
🚨 common ingrown hair: when hair cannot exit the follicle and continues to grow under the skin
