Hi.

I have chronically dandruff problems and I am considering to cut of my hair to solve this problem. I have read on this forum that people have positive experience with getting rid of dandruff after going bald. However, I still have a few questions.

1: Would it be sufficient just to cut of the hair with a clipper with no protection on it or do I need to shave my head completely with a razor also?

2: How often would it be necessary to cut or shave?

3: If you are shaving your head completely, how and where do you do it? Do you use normal razor and shawing gel and do you just do it while you are under the shower or how?

I know that the situation probably vary from person to person, but what are your experience?

You need to razor shave to get rid of dandruff.  I had dandruff problems prior to shaving, and it has completely gone away with shaving.  Its the actual regular scraping of the scalp with the bald that gets rid of the dandruff.  I do not think a tight buzz would do the trick.

I had chronic dandruff as well. I took my hair down to a 1/8" buzz cut but that didn't solve the problem.  That was a major factor in my decision to shave my head: no hair, no dandruff. Your experience will probably be different but I've noticed I can only go two or three days between shaves before the dandruff comes back.
