someone on a different web site also posted to me that epilators may not actually get the root out... that the little "bulb" at the end may be sebum instead, and the hairs are breaking off far below the surface, and that's why they get ingrown. interesting hypothesis, anyway...

KatieKat, email me at forum@hairtell.com and state you are over 18 for the passwrod to the mature Forum.

Goodgirl101, it is possible that the end of a broken hair looks like a root, especially since many hairs have a clear sheath around them, which can sometimes bunch up and look like a root.
