First, she notes, they happen most commonly in areas where we have curly hair. And the common mistake people make? Thinking that shaving is the culprit.

Oh, no, friends!

"They think it's a blunt razor or a dirty razor, but actually, waxing and plucking cause more ingrown hairs than anything else," says Dr. Lee.

The reason? You're pulling the hair out at the root, which gives it room to grow up and curl out. That's when they get stuck under the skin.

So when you do get one, here's they key: Grab a sterile tweezer or a pin, then wiggle it right underneath it and try to lift it up. (Without puncturing your skin, of course!)

Top it off with a little benzoyl-peroxide — an antibacterial — to help decrease inflammation and keep the area infection-free.
