The goal in waxing is to remove the entire hair from the follicle, but often it breaks either above or below the skin's surface. So now instead of a new hair forming and growing back having a beveled edge, it's now blunt and sharp. A good example to turn to is shaving, as it often creates ingrown hairs because it leaves hair blunt from cutting it off.
TO PREVENT THEM FROM FORMING:
-Be sure to follow directions very carefully prepping skin, applying product and removing it
-Exfoliate before and after
-Stay away from tight fitting clothes.
-Stop them before they start. Many products are created to help fight and prevent ingrown hairs before they appear, containing exfoliating and moisturizing properties.
