Razor Bumps and Ingrown Hairs on Black Skin: Permanent Fix

Curly hair bends back into the skin after shaving, causing razor bumps. The permanent fix is to remove the hair follicle with laser or electrolysis, so there is no hair left to grow in.

Why curly hair gets ingrown

A sharp cut tip can re-enter the skin. Inflammation then leaves bumps and dark marks.

Until treatment

  • Shave with the grain, never against it
  • Do not pluck or squeeze bumps
  • Use a gentle exfoliating product a few times a week

Permanent solution

Laser hair removal with the correct settings for dark skin, and electrolysis for hairs laser cannot treat.
