would this work to extract an ingrown hair?

Hey J. I could not hurt. Many years ago you could purchase this product directly at the drug stores and my Mamma would use it on just about every problem we had that was under the skin. If you have some sort of small abscess like an ingrown hair, I would think it would work. I have personally never had a reaction to this product.

really cant be sure-- i used in to bring a sweat gland cyst to ahead on my german shepherd---- had no effect at all-- did not work

I suppose it will work since it helps release splinters too..it basically softens up the skin so anything underneath it putting pressure comes out. I would try it..its all natural also and they sell it over the counter so wouldnt hurt to try. Make sure u cover it with a gauze or pad type bandage

The razor itself will not cause ingrown hairs as it is the blade and technique that does the actual cutting. The best answer to buying any safety razor is to get a sample pack of blades to find the one that works best for you. Technique is a different matter. I would look at tutorials at either badgerandblade.com or theshaveden.com to guide you in that respect. One you find your stride the ingrown hairs will be a thing of the past.

never tried to remove hair specifically from this area. device is a little large for that. But if you are patient and careful, it's possible.

yes, that will work for you :) just be sure if your hair is layered, to use only part of the wand

Yes. I believe it would. Start with the largest attachment first. That will leave the hair longer. Then work your way to a smaller attachment, as needed. A thinning shears might help too.

I guess so. The hair trimmer with the blue tip is like a small trimmer/clipper, not unlike hair clippers (as opposed to an open blade). Its not very strong, meant more for finer nose and ear hairs, but I'd guess it would probably work to a certain degree

Anytime you are pulling out hair (even with a tweezer) it provides the opportunity for ingrown hair. It all in the prep work. I exfoliate the day of and the next day. I rarely have ingown hairs, it still happens just not often

It may not work so well for ingrown hair, but it is fantastic for wood-borne splinters. At least that is what my wife testified to me about her childhood.

Yes but it didnt work out very well for me. Painful and didn't remove hair the way advertised.

I realize that sometimes you need to exfoliate this area to avoid ingrown hairs. I would use a very fine pumice stone for that purpose, and not this.

It depends on how fast or slow your hair grows. If after 2 days you can't stand it, then I would say yes. Me personally, yes, I use it after two days and this is why. Prior to purchasing it I let me leg hair grow for over a week. Drove me insane! But I had all my hair growing out so when I did use this, I got it all rather then deal with having more the next day since your hair grows in cycles. A few days later, I noticed TONS of ingrown hairs!! Omg I must have had a hundred of them! So I pluck and dug and plucked away for most of the day. I had even been using the exfoliating rags every other day! I also noticed when it pulled the hairs, most of them didn't have a root, and you know what that means....it broke the hairs rather then pull them out! Hence, the ingrowns..... so now two days is tops for me. If you leave the purple guard off, it gets right against your skin and as long as your skin is tight, it won't pinch or grab you and it pulls the hair by the root better.

FWIW ingrown hairs are not caused by curling, but by cutting "too close", that is under the skin. That typically occurs with multiple-blade cartridges, because the first blade grabs and pulls the hair out, while the next ones slice it. The sliced sharp end returns to original position, under the surface of the skin, which then may cause it to grow "through" instead of out of the follicle. One of the points of "returning" to DE razors/blades is to get away from this problem :)

I don't really get ingrown hairs, but I use a loofa constantly in the shower. Otherwise it seems quite rough. I use it mostly on my arms as I have thick light hair. Hope this helps. It's a pretty good machine.

It would work if someone else does it for you - you need to use both hands. I tried on the bikini area, it works but it's just very painful as hair there is much coarser.

Maybe. It is three inches long which is large to me. If you would normally were a clip that large on top of or in the middle of your hair, then I think it would work especially since you hair is thick.

Yes, definitely. In fact, I used it today to unclog a wad of hair that got stuck in the hose of my canister vacuum.
