There are a couple things to do to avoid ingrown hairs. The first thing is to invest in a bottle of Tend Skin or Skin Relief, and apply that every other day or so where you've waxed. It's a skin calming liquid and also helps to keep the surface area exfoliated.
Another thing is to use one of those plastic mesh scrubby bath things to manually exfoliate in the shower.

Granted I've never had my legs waxed (and somehow I imagine that's more painful than...other areas!), but between these two things, I've not had a problem. I'm sure that some skin types have a larger problem with ingrowns than others, but I don't know specifics on that.
