Coax it out with soft music and a jelly doughnut. Whatever you do, DON'T let the hair get the doughnut.

Use the edge of a knife to pull it out from under the skin.

Remove all the skin on your face with a knife except for the part with the ingrown hair. It will get lonely and come out.

A hair with social anxiety disorder.

A IGH is cut too short and grows & coils up under the skin till it festers and pops out.

Steam the face with a warm towel for about five minutes. Then use a loofah sponge to remove dead skin cells (exfoliation). Then shave the area.

or

Wipe a pin or needle and the ingrown area with rubbing alcohol and carefully release the hair using the tip of the needle only.
Never jab the needle into the skin. After the hair is released, wipe the skin with alcohol again.
