Morphology
The meaning is directly and literally composed from 'ingrown' (growing into the skin) + 'hair' (a hair strand), so the phrase denotes exactly a hair that curls or grows into the skin. This is a straightforward, physical/medical description (and parallels constructions in other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Ingrown hair names a hair that has curled and grown back into the skin instead of out of it. Think of ingrown as 'grown in' and the hair turning sideways under your skin to make a small, sore bump, so 'ingrown hair' means a hair that grows into the skin and causes irritation.
