Ingrowing hairs, is sugaring a better solution?

published on January 4th 2023

We often get asked about ingrown hairs and whether this be a better solution for them.

You will not believe how many clients mention this after sugaring. We cannot guarantee that you will never get any ingrowing hairs, however many of our clients find that sugaring causes less ingrowing hair or none at all.

Many hair removal methods will snap the hair off, its blunt on the end if shaving, when it grows back it may cause an itch, albeit, it’s uncomfortable but at Sugarflick, you are getting a service that can remove shorter hairs than most other methods and by the root. This means the hair has to start its life again, so it’s weaker, softer and not prodding you like a hot poker! Seriously sugaring is so much better than most other methods. Read our feedback to see what people have experienced.

Hair breakage is also a very common cause of ingrowing hairs, tight clothing, sports and hot baths, too soon after a treatment will not help.  If your hair is too short on the day of the treatment we may not be able to remove them all successfully, we can get out very short hair but half a millimeter, maybe not.

Hair removal, be it waxing or sugaring is better with time, the more you keep to one method and regularly, the better.
