Summers still blazin’ in the Northern Hemisphere and if you’ve been removing any hair like I have, then you have experience the not-so-fun part…hair growing back (regrowth). A few things may happen if you don’t take care of your skin –  you tend to feel itchy, possible red patches and worse of all…ingrown hair.

So what’s a sista supposed to do?

I hear from one website to try this procedure, whereas an article in a magazine preaching about this different method. So obviously there are different ways to care for the skin and prevent and/or treat ingrown hair. But what method is mostly recommended?

I took some articles about aftercare from different hair removal techniques – shaving, waxing, laser hair treatment-  from various websites and created a visual representation using Word Tag to analyze what keyword appears the most.

The size of the words represents how often that word appears throughout the integrated article. In this case, the larger words appear way more often than the smaller words. The top words that appeared were:

Clothing

 After hair removal, it’s recommended to not wear tight clothes.

Exfoliate/Scrub

Immediately after hair removal, use aloe gel to rub on the affected area. This will soothe the skin.

Clean

Make sure the skin is clean, to prevent any clogged pores, which causes ingrown hair.
