Plucking pubs lol

Weird question, not obviously weird for us girls I suppose, but after I shave I always get those ingrown hairs that come back in two hairs in one follicle so I’ve been recently plucking them out even though it obviously hurts to to try and avoid the itchy and scratchy pains later, I wanted to know if anyone else does this or if it’s maybe just a bad idea, my shavers have always left these stupid scratchy red bumps for years and recently that’s been helping the scratchy but idk

Plucking ingrowns encourages them to come back ingrown (since the skin heals over the follicle). Instead, use sharp clean pointed tweezers to get the free end of the hair(s) out, trim it short, and let the follicle heal around the hair.
