I have very straight hair, but I have had one ingrown hair before this, and it was tiny and easily identified and pulled out with tweezers.
My understanding is that curly hair actually is more prone to ingrowns.
ETA: I would have no probs dealing with a similar problem on DH, but I possess a strong stomach and a fair fascination with fixing medical stuff. I would be a damn fine nurse, except for hating vomit and poo. Pus I am ok with.
Just wait. Now that I've said that, I'll get a huge awful ingrown hair within a week.

Well, you *did* type the magical ingrown-hair-causing incantation.

I got my hair dyed yesterday after work (and it's right purty, iffen I do say so myself). We are invited to go swimming at a friends today. I worry that the chlorine is not good for the dye. What do our dye gurus say?
I have straight hair. I've also had ingrown hairs that aren't curled, they grow straight under the skin, parallel to it.

chlorine is def not good for hair dye, especially fresh. if you can't keep yr hair dry, at least soak it in fresh water first and then a protective conditioner. Second hand knowledge to this avid swimmer.
