FAQs
Is it good to shave your head?
Shaving your head may give you plenty of benefits. It can help you to disguise any hair conditions that you may experience, like hair loss, receding hair line, patchy hair growth or even a widows peak. Also, it saves you pretty much time and money on styling and maintaining your hair. When it comes to head shaving for the sake of boosting your hair growth, there is no direct link between them.
How do you shave your head for the first time?
The best way to shave your head for the first time is to follow these head shave tips:
1. Shave head after you have had a shower to make your hairs softer and thus easier to shave.
2. Apply a shave gel instead of a cream, as they minimize the risk of razor burns and allow for quality shaving.
3. Make sure you can see your head from every angle, meaning the room where you are shaving head is well lit and you have at least two mirrors at hand.
4. One of the most effective shaving tips is to go with the grain. Never shave your head in the opposite direction to your hair growth if you do not want to have razor burns.
5. Do not shave the head after sun bathing, as you will have a too noticeable difference between the skin tone of your neck and the shaved back of head.
6. Do not skimp on a sunscreen and moisturizer if you want to avoid dryness and hyperpigmentation of your scalp.
7. A bald head does not mean that it does not require washing. You still need to maintain good hygiene of your scalp by shampooing it with every wash and conditioning it every other time you take a shower.
8. Take into account weather conditions. If the air is too dry, use moisturizers more often.
9. Deal with razor burns immediately by applying topical hydrocortisone and leaving your head alone for a while.
10. Always use a sunscreen on your whole head, as well as neck and ears. Choose a product specially made for a scalp.
11. Sport your shaved head haircut proudly, as from now on you look bold and daring.
Do you shave your head wet or dry?
Neither. It is better to shave your head right after you have taken a shower and soaked excess water with a towel. So, your hair is no longer wet but it is not completely dry either.
