Alright. I feel kindof stupid asking this...but I have to know. When I look at my legs...It seems like the hair grown like..at an angle.
 Most are probably like..duh. But I never have the timein the shower, to shave this leg this certain way.....and then shave the other leg this ceratain way.  But If I just shave in one direction (like straight up) then I get ingrown hairs!!!  Help

Do you use shaving cream? or just soap? Try using shaving cream.

^x2 (to slipknot1098564 ) What.. does that have to do with anything?
 But anyway, actually I got ingrown hairs the second time I shaved my legs (which was the last time I ever shaved my legs)... I shaved my legs from bottom to top, going up. I shouldn't because my leg hair grows down and yea. The thing is that if you shave up, your skin gets rough and skin cells are scraped off. Since new skins grow over where the old skin cells were scraped off, the hair gets trapped, thus making it in-grown. |

ingrown hairs are the bumps right? rub your legs with a wet warm towel everyday. it should get rid of them. it's working for me

maybe you can try waxing, because that pulls out the entire hair. if you really are going to wax though, get the sally hansen kind that's a strip, but NOT the microwaveable kind... those really hurt.
