It is important to keep your scalp clean, whether you have a bald head or not



Bald heads require more sensitive products in order to keep the scalp healthy, and this can come in handy in case you decide to grow hair in the future. The same hygiene and care that is taken into face should be practiced in taking care of the scalp as well. A simple regimen composed of shampooing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and massaging is essential in the attainment of a healthy scalp for a good looking bald head.  

Many bald people wonder if there still is the need to use shampoo for a bald head



Yes, there still is a need to use shampoo.  However, it is important to use the mildest shampoo available. Acid based shampoos and those with a ph level of 4.5 to 5.5 are ideal.  

Those with a bald head should also exfoliate regularly. To exfoliate means to remove dead skin cells This process is essential in not only keeping the scalp healthy, but improves the overall appearance of the bald head by smoothing out its skin and removing any dullness or discoloration. Exfoliating also helps add an overall great feel to the skin. Use an exfoliating scrub twice to thrice a week, and ideal scrub to use are those made especially for the scalp, face, or sensitive skin. There are recipes available for a natural home made exfoliating scrub that can be used, such as almond and oatmeal  

Next, moisturize the scalp. Moisturize the head with the use of shaving cream during the next shave to prevent any burns or wounds, and in order to have a smooth, clean shave. After shaving, moisturize the head by using a moisturizer. The moisturizer also helps protect the skin from the elements it is exposed to, by retaining the water and thus preventing wrinkles Since bald heads are exposed to the environmental elements and stress, moisturizing daily helps a great deal in protecting the scalp and keeping it healthy. An oil free moisturizer is ideal.   

Following the moisturizing regimen, apply sunscreen when you will be going outdoors to protect against the sun’s rays, skin damage, and to keep the scalp and head smooth and wrinkle free. Just as you would protect your skin from sun damage, the same care should be taken in protecting the scalp from the harmful elements that can reduce the healthiness of the scalp and skin.  

The last step in the regimen for a healthy scalp is a massage Just a few times a week, a massage would do the scalp a lot of good by relaxing the muscles and promoting blood flow. Whether you decide to grow hair again in the future or not, massaging the scalp will promote healthy hair growth along with the rest of the regimen. A good massage, lasting about five minutes, should suffice.
