The longer the better.
You want the root to develop so you can pluck the hair and the root right out of the follicle.
For best results, put on some polysporin, or any other anti-bacterial cream at least once a day for a week after you tweeze/pluck the hairs. This will help prevent any ingrown hairs from developing.
I wish I took this advice when it was given to me. Now, I’m stick with a hardened ingrown hair that just doesn’t want to go away. I’ve tried to dig it out, but have failed on 3 occassions. Currently, I’m halfway through my bottle of TendSkin (a liquid alcohol-based ingrown hair remover) and it’s still sticking around!
I plan on going for laser treatment though. Expensive, but IMO, worth it.
