Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > Miscellaneous
Wish there was some sort of surgery to remove hair shadow
chgobuzzbald:
I sometimes use a BB Cream on my head to reduce or hide the shadow. These are really moisturizers made with a tint so not exactly make up. Experiment with the different tints to see what works for you. It does not look like make up.
I have read some guys use Epilators to remove hair follicles to achieve total baldness with no shadow but you need the hair grown out a bit for the Epilator to grab it.
Also have recently read about hair Growth Inhibitors that may work on scalp hair to slow down the growth and reduce any shadow.
If you are doing a laser that should eventually be effective but each laser is different, there are many types that have different wavelengths and the intensity may not be set high enough so check that too.

Will look in to BB creams, thanks.
I did 8 sessions of laser and wasn't seeing results so i stopped and am now doing electrolysis. I have done 31 hours of electrosys and continuing.
Maybe i should double down and do laser and electrolysis. The laser machine was alexandria or something

Just accept what you got.

What sort of make up would your friend be using?

It's some kind of foundation his wife had. Like I said, it's not for me and isn't something I'd use because my reason for shaving is the nice clean feeling I get.
Epilators are out there but they pull your hair out by the roots so once again, it's not for me. If you respect the process and take your time shaving, any shadow wouldn't be a big deal. Now having surgical things done is really going too far since shaving is part of my daily routine anyway. One sure way of getting rid of the shadow is to shave every three or four days. No one will be able to tell(except you) and you won't have that shadow.

I never had to deal with a shadow as my hair was white when I first shaved. At some point I considered permanent hair removal, but lasers don't work on white hair. I shave daily because I want it BBS, and still having a full head of hair, it takes some work. I understand not wanting a shadow, but a nice close shave will minimize it.
