Pseudofolliculitis barbae, known as razor bumps, is the number one complaint among black men who shave. Caused by stiff beard hair and a curved follicle, the hair tips reverse their course and literally penetrate and grow back into the skin, like a horseshoe, whereas, normally the hairs would exit.
In order to understand how shaving bumps, ingrown hairs and shaving irritation develop, it is important understand what happens under ideal shaving circumstances and how this changes in those prone to shaving related skin problems. Ideally, hairs are cut off flush at the surface of the skin during shaving with minimal friction and irritation to the surrounding skin. In people with a tendency towards razor bumps, ingrown hairs and similar problems, the hairs are often cut too short during shaving. This may result in hairs that curl back into the skin rather than grow out. These ingrown hairs can cause pain, unsightly red or darkened bumps and, in severe cases, scarring.

NOTE: These two pictures illustrate how razor bumps and the ingrown hairs form and get caught inside the skin after shaving the hairs below the skin. (Move your mouse on the pictures to see how BalanceFace fights Pseudofolliculitis Barbae) | |
