Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > How To Protect Your Bald Head
How not to goop? Encouragement to stay bald...
moose:
Female here. Shaved/bald by choice. A few weeks ago, I finally went from buzzcut to bald. Perhaps once you shave for awhile, you don't need to moisturize so much but in the beginning you do. I really really didn't like that the second my head hit the headrest, etc., I'd leave a grease spot... yuck. This also made me suddenly feel that being bald wasn't quite as sanitary. (Yes, help me, I realize this is likely not the case!) I was bald for over a week and have since grown back out to about a #1. Just the other day, a very very conservative older male friend of mine mentioned that he actually thought my bald head looked better than buzzed (wow! yay!)... My face and scalp are naturally oily... do you always use moisturizer? I see myself needing SPF daily for sure as I live in a super sunny place. Do you notice or even think about it --- oils etc when your head touches pretty much anything in a public place? I wanted to give my bald head more of a go before tossing in the towel so I probably should've asked about this earlier but I'm re-inspired to not just do a #0 but to shave again. Thanks for any advice.

Hi moose, I live in a very dry Minnesota winter climate, and I only moisturize maybe once a week. Everybody's skin is different though. Try to find a non greasy product, and I exfoliate twice a week with a sugar scrub.
After shaving, a cold water rinse and an application of witch hazel gives my head a great shine.
Magoo:
My head is naturally oil , so I generally avoid any moisturizer, except a little in the winter. Summer I wear a hat for sun protection most here use some form of SPF on their head.

I go through phases of dry skin and oily skin. During oily skin days I make sure I have some wipes with me from either HeadBlade or Bee Bald.

i think the #0 would be a excellent choice. it just tells me how strong you are. best to whatever you do. when I saw Natalie Portman after she did hers, I fell in love! :)
