Okay, here's another thought on it. :) Sounds like she has it down pat. :)

For problems with ingrown hairs and razor rash, its mostly caused by infection in the hair folicle and open pores. The way to get round this is to exfoliate the day before you shave/wax, but not the day you do - everyone's skin is different so you'll have to find an exfoliant that works for your skin specifically.
To prevent the infection, after you've shaved/waxed, put an antiseptic onto the area you've depilated; anything from TCP, Dettol or rubbing alcohol, depending on how masochistic you are. (or US equivilients)
After that, you NEED to use an astringent to close the pores and prevent anything getting in them, so a toner that works for your skin. If you have very sensitive skin you can use flower waters with an added antiseptic element, so something like tea tree water - easily available on herbal/health food websites.
Then moisturise, and do it well. Aloe Vera gel is again, yet another anti-septic barrier, and is extremely moisturising, also very good for sensitive skin! But, make sure its 100% pure, and avoid like stink anything that has fragrances in... you don't want that on freshly shaved/waxed skin.
Finally, the next day exfoliate again, and if you feel the need repeat the astringent and moisturisor.
This should minimise the risk of ingrowing hairs and razor rash, oh and fresh cotton panties that are quite loose around the crotch area are invaluable. There's nothing wrong with getting through two pairs a day, particularly if you've just depilated!
Also, never, ever use sugar wax on the mucosal membrane of your vulva. That area can only really use hot waxing mothods or razors; sugar wax just doesn't get hot enough. As mentioned above as well, sugar and vaginas do not mix!
