Ingrown hairs are a common problem of

  1. Straight hair

  2. Curly hair

  3. Wavy hair

  4. Coily hair

The correct answer is: Curly hair

Ingrown hairs are a common problem for individuals with curly hair because the hair tends to curl back or grow sideways into the skin instead of straight up and out of the hair follicle. This can lead to inflammation, redness, and sometimes even infection. Individuals with straight hair are less likely to experience ingrown hairs due to the hair growing directly out of the follicle without much curling or looping back into the skin. Wavy and coily hair types can also be prone to ingrown hairs, but curly hair individuals are typically at a higher risk due to the tighter curls causing more opportunity for the hair to grow back into the skin.
