That shit can bring your looks from 7 to 4 😭

Thank you! All of the razors out there are specifically made for straight-growing hair, wether people want to realize it or not.

No you can’t use this or that. The issue is the direction of your hair growth bro. ANYTHING you use, if it removes the hair or cuts it back to skin level will cause this to happen to you. You need to trim your hair and keep it a least a little bit away from the skin level. If it gets lower than the skin the hair will grow into the skin

I always use a hot towel first to softened the my head and face. Make sure use a good razor. Shave then hot towel again then after shave like witch hazel. Non alcohol kind of course. And no bumps.

*it's not even an itch anymore, it straight up hurts...*

I told my barber not to go so high on the bottom of my beard now I'm suffering.

[RBGst]

This happens to me every time my hair starts to grow back, while using a razor. It doesn't happen when i use a electric razor

Use a exfoliant face wash for your neck. Or bikini blister bump pads which will take them off 2 days after using those pads swear

[adelopez]

That’s from using razors!! Please put this is yalls videos ! Black men need to stop using razors and no electric RAZORS either and stop shaving every 3 days, get a face routine! Wash your face, and don’t be afraid to grow your beard out, if you don’t want facial hair USE CLIPPERS/TRIMMERS NOT RAZORS. We are not white or any other race with straight hair, no matter what grade of hair you have on your head, your beard is most likely gonna be curly!! Use alchohol after shaving with trimmers/clippers.

School rules caused this to happen to me, and although it ain't that bad, I feel a little bit of sadness every time I notice them.

The fungus is what is influencing the behavior and altering texture of the follicle. You have to deal with the fungus, yeast, remove sugar from your diet to make it better while treating it. I’ve had razor bumps and been in the military for a long time. This is me just speaking from my experience

This video in a nutshell: don’t shave very close or you’re fucked

As a woman who started growing body hair excessively, I've suffered with the discoloration under the neck, way after I stopped shaving with those razors.

The reason I made myself break out so badly was because I feared being made fun of for being a man, just because I grew hair under my neck. Unfortunately the discoloration is hard to get rid of on my own and it's like a cycle of hair removal creams, makeup, trimming, and after shave. 😭

I just was officially assigned a primary provider and will tell her about this issue of mine. Wishing myself and other people with the same problem, luck 🤞🏾

[duplicarus]

Yeah I have mad bumps on the back of my head because my barber cut it was too close to the skin. Usually just cut without the guard and I’m good

[Skobithegymnatty]

That mf at the background going thru the most 😂😂😂

[hilario-H]

What if I use hair remover instead? Would the effect still be the same?

[lilianmadu]

Depilatory cream for facial hair works well for my husband. You mix the white powder with water into a paste. Then apply it to your face. Leave on for a few minutes. Process is a bit more cumbersome than shaving, but it works to prevent razor bumps.

[All_glory_to_jesus_]

So u told me how I got em, but now how to get rid of em. Ok helpful

[TakingNoshorts]

It took you 13yrs to get your degree and to make this short video. Thanx!

[chicago_beats]
