Ingrown Hair Treatment & Therapy

Get the Complete Ingrown Hair Therapy Routine

Give your clients the aftercare their skin needs with a targeted ingrown hair treatment that works between appointments. This ingrown hair treatment reassures reducing bumps, soothing inflammation, and keeping results looking their best

✓  Prevents and Eliminates Ingrown Hairs

Our ingrown hair therapy products work in two ways — treating existing ingrown hairs by helping trapped hairs break through to the surface, and preventing new ones from forming by softening the skin and keeping follicles clear. Used consistently between waxing appointments, they make a visible difference to the texture and clarity of the skin.

✓  Reduces Redness and Inflammation

Post-wax redness and bumps are one of the most common concerns clients raise after hair removal. A targeted ingrown hair treatment calms inflammation, reduces swelling, and soothes the skin in the days following a wax, leaving clients with the smooth, clear finish they came in for.

✓ Softens and Nourishes the Skin

Ingrown hairs are more likely to form when the skin is dry, and the epidermis is thick enough to trap regrowth beneath the surface. Regular use of ingrown hair therapy products softens the skin, moisturises the follicle zone, and makes it easier for new hairs to grow through cleanly.

✓  Suitable for All Body Areas

Whether your clients struggle with ingrown hairs on the bikini line, underarms, face or legs, our range includes targeted formulations for both delicate and larger body areas.

Ingrown Hair Treatments Explained: Paste and Concentrated Lotion

The Italwax Ingrown Hairs Therapy range includes two distinct products, each formulated for a different use case. Understanding how they work helps you recommend the right ingrown hair treatment to every client.

Ingrown Hairs Therapy Active Paste

Active Paste is a targeted ingrown hair treatment formulated specifically for delicate body areas where ingrown hairs are most common and most uncomfortable. Scientifically developed with a combination of active ingredients, it reduces redness and swelling, softens the skin around the follicle, and helps weak or trapped hairs break through to the surface without the need for manual extraction.

The paste texture means it stays exactly where it is applied,  making it precise and effective on small, sensitive areas without migrating to surrounding skin.

How to use Active Paste

1. Apply a small amount of Active Paste directly to the affected area after waxing or showering.
2. Massage gently until fully absorbed. Do not rinse off.
3. Use regularly between appointments on the bikini line, underarms, or face until skin is clear.
4. Discontinue use if excessive skin irritation develops.

Ingrown Hairs Therapy Concentrated Lotion

Concentrated Lotion is a fast-absorbing ingrown hair serum designed for use across larger body areas, particularly legs and arms, where ingrown hairs can be widespread and difficult to treat with a targeted paste. The lotion formula spreads easily, absorbs quickly, and leaves no residue on the skin or clothing, making it practical for clients to use in their daily aftercare routine.

Like the Active Paste, it helps prevent and eliminate ingrown hairs and inflammation, but its lighter texture makes it the better choice for treating a broader area of skin rather than an isolated spot.

How to use Concentrated Lotion

1. Apply the lotion to clean, dry skin on the legs, arms, or other large areas after waxing.
2. Massage in gently until fully absorbed. No rinsing required.
3. Use daily between waxing appointments for best results.
4. For delicate or sensitive zones, use Active Paste instead for a more targeted application.

Ingrown Hair Treatment FAQs

What causes ingrown hairs after waxing?

Ingrown hairs happen when a hair that has been removed at the root begins to regrow but curls back. This is more likely to happen when the skin is dry or the skin's surface is thickened. Both of these make it harder for new hair to push through. Another reason is when hair is removed at an angle that makes it grow back into the follicle wall.

People with curly or coarse hair, or who are prone to dry skin, are more likely to experience ingrown hairs after waxing. Using a treatment for ingrown hairs between appointments significantly reduces their occurrence.

When should clients start using ingrown hair treatment after waxing?

For best results, clients should begin using an ingrown hair treatment product within the first day or two after their waxing appointment, once any immediate post-wax sensitivity has settled.

Can I try these products before buying in bulk?

Yes. The Active Paste is available individually as well as in packs of 10, so you can trial the product before committing to a larger salon order. Once you've confirmed it works well for your clients, multi-pack options offer strong value for regular retail or professional use.

Do you offer flexible payment options?

Yes. All ingrown hair treatment products can be purchased in full or paid for in instalments at no extra charge using Klarna or Afterpay.
