My hair is so coarse that I can't even wax it, so I resort to tweezing the hairs bc I don't want to wait for the hairs to grown long to thread! Lol

I know about thick hair. Maybe try using a hair removal cream? It works for me, and I haven't had ingrown hairs on my upper lip area.

NEVER use any hair removal cremes or gels (especially on your most sensitive skin especially face or bikini line) as burns, and skin dryness will result. All hair removal cremes have harsh caustic chemicals in them like calcium hydroxide or thioglycolates which attack and dissolve hair proteins. The problem is that they attack and burn skin too. If you do not get immediate symptoms you will get others later, like sun sensitivity, dryness and skin can lose elasticity causing premature wrinkles.

These are your other options.
Waxing, epilating, threading or sugaring at home or in the salon are bad for the skin though many people do it. As well as being painful & expensive, these leave a hole in the skin where the hair once grew and this can fill up with bacteria like staphylococcus aureus to cause painful infections & permanent skin damage or discoloration. Waxing the skin can be bruised, torn or lose elasticity causing premature wrinkles later on.

Serious skin burns can result from so called professional laser treatments in a salon and again doesn't always work on all kinds of skin or hair types. The FDA expressly prohibits laser hair removal being described as permanent because it is not.

It is a fact that any razor blade or safety razor scrapes away not only the unwanted hair but also the top layer of your skin, the epidermis, from which the hair grows. This wet shaving damages the skin and causes the familiar shaver rash and shaver burn that millions suffer from. The skin is trying to tell you it has been injured and not to shave like this again. Razor blade shaving is the primary cause of painful ingrown hairs. Also a razor used "with the grain" trains the hair to bend & lie down against the skin. The blade then slices the end of the hair shaft diagonally and not straight across at the base. The sliced end can bend inwards & downwards growing into the skin where it becomes infected. STOP WET SHAVING.
The explanation for the problems with shaving and the myth that many believe - "shaving & other hair removal methods causes the hair to grow back thicker" - started out because of shaving with a razor blade or so called safety razor. The water used during razor blade shaving, is absorbed by the skin cells though the process called osmosis and they swell up. You will have seen this effect if you stay in the water too long and your skin gets the wrinkled "prune" look which makers it impossible for a blade to cut the hair close to the skin. This water absorption causes the skin surface to puff up and the swollen skin cells ride up the hair shaft, concealing the base of the hair so that the blade cannot reach it to cut it. Once you finish shaving the skin dries out & the skin cells deflate as the water has evaporated. This causes the thicker uncut portion of the hair to reappear making you think it has regrown thicker or faster which is just not true. Any doctor will tell you such increased hair growth is biologically impossible. See http://www.bestbodyshaver.com/shaving-myths/ for a renowned Mayo Clinic doctor's advice. The real cause of this illusion is the safety razor & using the correct shaver solves this issue immediately as well as cheaply.
Whether male or female the safe, inexpensive answer to any body hair removal, is to DRY shave with the new sensitive skin body shaver - the Bare It All personal shaver & trimmer at http://www.BestBodyShaver.com. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS WET SHAVING WITH ANY SAFETY RAZOR OR BLADE. It is a purpose built body shaver designed with a special foil to let the hair be cut without the blades touching or injuring the skin.
Using this new type of rechargeable body shaver you can get "smooth as waxing" skin without the itching, lumps, bumps and ingrown hairs you get with wet shaving. At less than $47 you get 500 hours of rechargeable shaving which is less than 3 cents per shave & is the smoothest, cheapest, safest form of all hair removal methods. Free shipping, no sales tax and self sharpening blades that last for 12 months, sweeten this deal.
