The 10 Most Intense Ingrown Hair-Removal Videos Of All Time

The 10 Most Intense Ingrown Hair-Removal Videos Of All Time
Getty

Ingrown hairs have all the makings of a pimple (painful, hideous) with the added bonus of a nagging hair buried underneath your skin. (YAY.) Which is why, like a pimple, it's tough to ignore an ingrown hair that's prime for the picking.

Perhaps that's why there’s an Instagram account called Tweezist that's completely devoted to the removal of ingrown hairs. (Um, could she be the Dr. Pimple Popper of ingrown hairs? Just saying.)

Morbidly interested? Thought so. But before you dig into the videos, it's my job to remind you NOT to pop and pick ingrown hairs with your fingers. Doing that can lead to infections (yikes). Generally, you can get rid of that ingrown with regular exfoliation and acne-fighting products like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide instead. 

If you really feel the urge to remove your ingrown hair, clean your skin and a sewing needle with rubbing alcohol, says Joshua Zeichner, M.D., a New York City-based board-certified dermatologist. Use the needle to gently lift up the free edge of the hair from your skin. Then, dab on an antibiotic ointment (like Neosporin) on the area and let it heal. Done and done.

But honestly, that still seems pretty intense. Instead, how about getting your fix through the following can't-look-away ingrown hair removal videos, okay? In no specific order, here they are, recorded through a microscope for your up-close viewing pleasure:

10. The one where the hair is so long it curls.

Ahhhh... I'm so happy now..... #ingrownhair #덕성여대 #우이동 #라엘왁싱 #hair #bodyhair #브라질리언 #tweezist #pimples #cyst #ethtetic #エステ #メイク #makeup #tutorial #satisfying #waxing #제모 #인그로운헤어 #왁싱 #eyebrow #shaving #microscope #barber #relax #lucanus #diamondpinzette #oddlysatisfying

The Tweezist called this one oddly satisfying and, I've gotta say, something about seeing how long those hairs are really does make the removal feel like a relief.

9. The one where multiple hairs are unearthed.

The white fibers are from alcohol pad. 족집게에 붙은 흰 실같은것들은 알콜솜에서 묻어난것들입니당. 족집게에 요철이 있다보니 종종 저렇게 걸려 묻네요ㅠ #ingrownhair #tweezing #hair #bodyhair #브라질리언왁싱 #tweezist #pimples #haircare #cyst #ethtetic #エステ #メイク #makeup #tutorial #satisfying #waxing #제모 #인그로운헤어 #왁싱 #eyebrow #shaving #microscope #barber #relax #lucanus #diamondpinzette

One ding of a lancet (what the Tweezist calls her "digging tool") and one, two, three dark hairs come sliding out. The final flourish is the tweeze.

8. The one where you get a double feature.

Which one you prefer? Pimple or ingrown? how about both? I really wanna hire someone who holds the scope always focus on!!!!! . . I need more ingrown hair photos of you!!

Yeah, in this one you get a pimple popping and an ingrown hair removal, and really what more could you ask for?

7. The one with the ingrown pubic hair.

1.Sorry for quit live without any salut. My cat was peepee on my closet so I had to wipe out. After I wiped out and wash my hands, my phone battery was gone haha...😂 2.These tweezers are from 'Tweezerman'. Good for short but not for ingrown. I'm waiting for their new point tweezers. 3.Waiting for restock now. Sorry for late shipping!! I will put some gifts for apologize! 4.I saw so many rude ppl while I doing Live. Never ask me about pubic. #ingrownhair #tweezing #hair #bodyhair #armpit #leg #arm #tweezist #pimples #haircare #cyst #ethtetic #エステ #メイク #makeup #tutorial #satisfying #waxing #제모 #인그로운헤어 #왁싱 #plucking #eyebrow #shaving #microscope #barber #relax #lucanus #beautytools

This hair is a small enough that the Tweezist has time to squash questions about ingrown pubes while she goes at it.

6. The one where there's blood.

A little bit of poking is all it takes for two hairs to pop out of this ingrown armpit bump. Once the hairs are tweezed a bit of blood follows and, well, see for yourself.

5. The one with the bird's eye view.

What happens when you plucking hair on body. #ingrownhair #tweezing #hair #bodyhair #armpit #leg #arm #tweezist #pimples #haircare #cyst #ethtetic #エステ #メイク #makeup #tutorial #satisfying #waxing #제모 #인그로운헤어 #왁싱 #plucking #eyebrow #shaving #microscope #barber #relax #lucanus #beautytools

This one isn't so much about ingrown hairs as it is a chance to get a closeup of the plucking process—and it's kind of mesmerising.

4. The one that comes with a warning.

내일 태국 출장이라 홍진영 파우더 공구 스토리로 수줍게 열었는데 반응 1도 없어서 마감합니다;; . . . I know you guys miss the videos like this. Oh, I forgot to warn you. *** GROSS/GRAPHIC VIDEO *** . . Need these tweezers? Link in bio. . . #ingrownhair #tweezing #hair #bodyhair #armpit #leg #arm #tweezist #pimples #haircare #cyst #ethtetic #エステ #メイク #makeup #tutorial #satisfying #waxing #제모 #인그로운헤어 #왁싱 #plucking #eyebrow #shaving #microscope #barber #relax #lucanus #beautytools

The caption specifically says "GROSS," but, really, we've come this far, am I right?

3. The one where things get twisted.

The Tweezist has a bit fun with the letter "T" to introduce this one: "tweezers tweeze twisted hair," she wrote in the caption of a video featuring a wound-up hair making its exit.

2. The one where the lift of a scab unveils a hidden hair.

1. The one where the hairs keep coming.
