Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > How To Protect Your Bald Head

Does buzzing at #1 and #0 every other day irritates skin? If yes, what to do?

Hey there guys

Right now I buzz my hair on a #2, and am planning to gradually go to 1 and 0 afterwards.

I intend to stick to the no-guard buzz cut because I think it might look cool; don't think I'll go to the blade, but hey, you never know what the future holds.

Anyway, back to what I was saying before: is there anything that I should do to take special care of the scalp once I start buzzing it down to 1 or 0? I intend to buzz it down every two or three days, I don't know maybe it might irritate the skin or something... So how to prevent it from happening, some moisturizer, just some shampoo etc? I really have no idea, this world is new to me lol

That's it guys, thanks for the attention

It should be fine as long as you don't jam the sharp end into your skin.  Put it up against your skin, but not into.  It never bothered me when I buzzed it, but I shave now.

remember to protect your scalp from sunburn at all times.  If you decide on a no-guard cut it might get irritating if you have to wear caps, etc. for long periods, other than that wash it and go.

I think using any kind of moisturizing product becomes more difficult with any kind of stubble. It just doesn't rub in as well and all those little stubbies get coated with the stuff!  :*))

I'm part-time sly. I razor it smooth in the summer, but wear hair during the cooler parts of the year.

One of the reasons I go sly (in addition to the look and feel) is that I've found it such a pain to use sunscreen on my head when I've worn the buzz cuts. It's so much easier to put lotions on a smooth scalp than stubble. In fact, I've never had sunburn while sly, but I got a nasty sunburn on my scalp once while I was wearing the 000 buzz.
