How to shave your head without irritation ?

Shaving your head is an increasingly popular trend among modern men. Whether it's for a sleek and clean look or out of necessity, taking care of your bald head requires a specific approach. In this article, we will explore the simple steps to achieve a flawless result and avoid unpleasant irritation. Follow our guide to learn how to shave your head like a pro, and discover tips to maintain your look with style.

1. Trim the initial length with clippers

Opt for a shorter hair length using electric clippers to reduce the length of your hair. This haircut will make the subsequent shaving easier. Make sure to clean the clippers frequently to avoid any clogging caused by hair.

2. Before shaving

Before applying the shaving cream, moisten your scalp with warm water. This step helps to open the pores of your skin and soften the hair, making shaving easier.

In a container, create a lather from your shaving soap or shaving cream using a shaving brush. Lathering the product the product before the application improves the blade's glide, thereby reducing the risk of cuts and irritations. Apply the shaving product evenly on your scalp, ensuring to cover the all necessary areas.

The choice of a moisturizing and natural shaving cream or soap helps prevent dryness by applying a hydrating protective film to the skin.

3. Proceed with shaving

Before starting the shave, check the condition of the lubricating strips. If they are worn, be sure to change the blades.

During the shaving: Start shaving in the direction of hair growth without applying too much pressure. Keep the skin taut during shaving for a more precise result, while following the contours.

Step 1

Begin shaving from the front of the head, following the direction of hair growth. Gently pass the blade from the top of the head to the forehead, maintaining a steady and careful pressure.

Step 2

Proceed next to the sides of your head, from front to back, making sure to gently fold your ears to clear the shaving area and prevent the formation of folds.

Step 3

For the most delicate part of the shave, focus on the back of your head. Start from the nape of the neck and progress toward the top of the head. This area is less flat, so be attentive and gentle. Ensure to rinse the razor frequently to remove accumulated hair.

Step 4

After completing the first pass, apply a new layer of soap or shaving cream if there is not enough left on your scalp. Then, shave in the opposite direction of hair growth to achieve a smooth and uniform result across the entire surface of the head.

4. Shaving finishing touches

Once shaving is complete, rinse your head with cold water to close the pores. Then, apply a natural and non-aggressive moisturizer to sooth the skin and prevent irritations. Choose products containing aloe vera, or natural oils for their soothing properties.

To maintain your shaved head with style, upkeep it regularly. Use clippers to maintain hair length and shave frequently for a clean look.

Don't forget to replenish your shaving cream and your razor glades for optimal results.

When to decide to shave my head ?

The decision to shave one's head is a personal choice which that can be motivated by various factors. For exemple, some people choose a shaved head due to significant hair loss or simply for comfort or style.

Before making a final decision, seek the advice of a professional hairstylist, or discuss it with friends and family. It is essential to ensure that the option of a shaved head is in harmony with your personal comfort and your individual perception of your appearance.

How often should I shave my hair?

If you wish to maintain a shaved head, it's necessary to shave it frequently. However, there's no universal frequency to follow to keep a smooth scalp for as long as possible, as it depends on the speed of your hair growth.

To simplify your routine or if you have sensitive skin, once a week can be an adequate frequency.

How to maintain a shaved head ?

GENTLE CLEANING

Contrary to popular belief, shampoos are not reserved solely for cleaning hair. Shampoos specially formulated for bald heads remove excess sebum, impurities, and dead cells. By gently massaging the scalp during shampooing, you'll make it supple while restoring firmness.

A gentle scalp exfoliation once a week, preferably the day before shaving, helps prepare the skin for shaving by removing embedded dirt and promoting microcirculation.

MOISTURIZATION

To prevent dryness and tight sensations, the scalp should be adequately moisturized. Use a moisturizing cream to restore the hydrolipidic film, forming a protective barrier. Nourishing oil can also deeply nourish the epidermis and soften the skin.

SUN PROTECTION

The scalp is the first part of the body exposed to the sun, so adequate protection is essential. Apply sunscreen suitable for your skin type with a high protection factor. A head covering can also be a stylish option while providing additional protection against the sun.
