Men with shaved heads are seen as more dominant, stronger and taller some studies show. It comes as good news if you’re thinking of shaving your head.
Here are some things to consider before you dive in head first.
When to Shave Your Head : You may be considering shaving your head because it makes balding less obvious. If you’ve still got some hair to work with, you may not want to rush into it. Talk to your barber/stylist and get an honest opinion of what you’d look like.
How to Shave Your Head : If you’ve never done it yourself, go to your local barber and get it done there. It’s much easier to maintain after it’s already shaved. If you want to do it yourself, buy a set of hair clippers and cut your hair really short first. Then a razor to remove the last bit of stubble.
Be sure to do that razor work in the shower.
Smooth Shaving :Try these tips for a better shave.
*Use a new, multi-blade razor. It will give a closer shave and require fewer passes over sensitive scalp skin
(Make sure your barber uses a new blade too should you have it professionally done.
*You can use the same kind of shaving cream or gel that you use to shave your face. To avoid irritations, you need something gentle, without a lot of additives or fragrances.
*Work with a mirror, especially if you’re a novice. Start in an area you can see and that you have better control over, like the front or side bumps that may not confirm exactly to the razor.
Don’t rush : If you’re always getting nicks and cuts, head shaving with a razor may not be for you. That’s one situation where an electric razor would be really good
*After Care : Now that your hair is gone, you may be tempted to get rid of your hair care products. Make sure not to shampoo your scalp daily to get rid of oils and keep it clean.
These tips will also keep your scalp healthy
*Moisturize right after shaving and as needed between shaves. It will help soothe any irritations you might have.
*If you break out right after shaving your head, (Breaking out is normal especially if you’ve thick curly hair and) relieve the redness and any discomfort with benzoyl peroxide cleanser.
*Keeping the Look : How often you should shave your head and how quickly it grows should be a subject of interest to you as a “SSUXESS” man
