So many questions about this phenomenon have run through my mind...
...Is it me? ...Is it my waxing technique?If so, why would there be more ingrowns at that time of year? And why would the frequency of my clients' ingrown hairs increase compared to other months? If this really was connected to my waxing technique, why am I noticing more ingrown hairs on the sides of the client's bikini line rather than all over? ...I also had to wonder why the ingrown hairs would also exist in those same outer/side-areas in people who had never even been waxed at all.
Instead of focusing on myself, I began to ask my clients about their ingrown issues.
