How to Shave Your Head Bald

A bald head is a good way to highlight facial features, such as great eyes or a good smile. However, a bald head is not suitable for everyone.


The shape of the head must be taken into consideration, and if the shape of your head is not symmetrical, you might not like the outcome of shaving your head. But anyways hair will always grow back. Whether as a fashion statement or a makeover you need because of thinning hair, it is a big step which will entail careful consideration and planning. It will take a lot of confidence to pull of a shaved head if you are doing it for the first time. If you want to imagine what you look like with a shaved head without actually doing so, it would help to try on a swimming cap. The swimming cap will allow you to see the shape of your head and easily imagine what you would look like bald.  

For first timers, it is important to prep yourself and make sure you get a good, clean cut while shaving. A bald head exposes a lot of skin, and it is pointless to shave and show a head full of bumps and marks.  

Taking a hot bath is an important first step in shaving your head bald.  The warm water opens and loosens up pores, which will make trimming and shaving much easier, giving you less room for missing hairs.  

Next, trim off all the hair you have. If your hair is less than a fourth of an inch, you can leave it on and remove it with head shaving. The right products are essential in having a good shave, so select a shaving cream that you are comfortable with. Spread the cream evenly around the head, let it settle and soften the hairs left to shave for about two minutes. 

After the cream, the headblade is the next most important tool in shaving to a bald head. For successful head shaving, it is advisable to use products that are made especially for the task such as headblade. Make sure you are facing a mirror and are under good lighting, and if you can have one behind you so you can see the back view as well, even better. Remember to be patient and not to rush in the process, as a quality shave will take time, and pressure will result in wounds and uneven shaves. 

Start shaving toward the direction where the hair grows, to ensure a smooth shave without nicks or cuts. Do not apply too much pressure on the blade, as this will cause cuts. Throughout the shaving process, rinse the headblade so as to keep it clean and working effectively to give you the shave you are looking for. Run over each area only once, as running the razor twice will result in razor burns.  

Should you happen to hurt yourself or have a razor burn, aloe vera gel can soothe the pain. Do not attempt to re-shave right away, try again the next day. Shaving everyday depending how bald you want to be, is better than shaving everything all at once.
