Cause of Hair Growth – 3 Reasons

Hormonal Changes

Hormones, such as those during pregnancy, puberty, or menopause, can stimulate hair growth or cause hair loss. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) also affect hormone levels, leading to excess hair growth (hirsutism).

Genetics

Your genetic makeup plays a major role in hair growth patterns, including how thick, long, or fast your hair grows. This is why family history often dictates hair growth patterns.

Diet and Nutrition

Proper nutrition, including vitamins and minerals like biotin, vitamin, and iron, can promote healthy hair growth.

A balanced diet supports hair follicles, preventing hair thinning and promoting stronger, healthier growth.

How to Prevent Razor Burns, In-growns, etc

Addressing Ingrown Hairs

Avoid tight clothing post-shave: Tight clothing can rub against the skin and cause irritation, contributing to ingrown hairs. Opt for loose-fitting clothes to allow your skin to breathe.

  • Use an ingrown hair treatment: If you’re prone to ingrown hairs, consider using a specialized ingrown hair serum or exfoliating treatment to help prevent them from fo
  • Don’t pick at ingrown hairs: If an ingrown hair does form, avoid picking at it, as this can cause infection or scarring. Gently exfoliate to encourage the hair to break through the skin naturally.

Shaving Technique

  • Shave in the direction of hair growth: Shaving against the grain can give a closer shave but increases the risk of irritation, razor burn, and ingrown hairs. Try shaving with the grain, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Aftercare

  • Rinse with cool water: After shaving, rinse your skin with cool water to close the pores, which can help prevent irritation.
  • Avoid hot showers: After shaving, avoid hot water for several hours, as it can further irritate the skin and lead to redness or razor burn
  • Moisturize: Apply a soothing, alcohol-free moisturizer after shaving to replenish hydration and calm the skin. Aloe vera gel or a fragrance-free lotion can help soothe irritation.
