Waxing scalp

[Soovival]

Hello my fellow bald brethren I have question about waxing the scalp.

I got brown skin and dark black hair and when I shave my head there is shadow which I despise. I know this isn't anything new and everyone that is balding has probably had this issue before but I want to know if I keep waxing my head will the hair that grows back eventually be thinner and therefore less of a shadow effect through repeated waxings?

I don't care about the pain I am willing to put up with it if it means that I can get rid of this shadow or even just get rid of it significantly. I want a chrome dome FULLY. I don't give a sh*t if they might come up with solutions for hair loss in the future. I have accepted my fate but this shadow is killing me.

Input would be great. Thanks friends.

Many people talk about waxing their heads, yet I never heard from anyone who has actually done it. I doubt anyone would try as the skin is thin and the pain would be high. I suspect you'd be short some skin after the event.

Dye your hair a lighter color. You'll have to do it often but it may be the only option until it turns grey.

Some years ago I frequently waxed portions of my scalp.  Hair often grew back but appeared to be thinner,  Pain was tolerable for me and no loss of  skin. I became in time fully MPB and thereafter i shave head daily - have many years.  starting initially in 1980 before it became common.

I'm going to get my scalp waxed if I can find a barber shop that will do it.

I?ve done it twice, but it was really really difficult to find a waxing technician that would do it. You?re right it?s very painful.    You?d have to do it multiple times over a long period of time for it to actually start to permanently reduce follicles..  it?s not a good option if you?d like to keep a shaved head because you have to let it grow out to at least a quarter inch before you can get it waxed again because they need some length for the wax to grab onto so you get a nice smooth head from the first waxing but then you have to run around looking like sh*t for about six weeks before you can get it waxed again and so on and so on and so on.

The only part of my head with a waxing seems to have permanently reduced the coverage is all around the bald spot on top where we?re starting to fall out anyway

I still go in once every two months or so to get my back and chest and other bits waxed, and even though he?ll wax absolutely everything else, my current waxing technician won?t do the head
