A bald head is more than a style statement – it’s a lifestyle. Whether you choose the bald look out of conviction or convenience, shaving your head requires attention, technique, and proper care. In this blog, we dive deep into the do’s and don’ts of shaving a bald head, with practical tips and product recommendations.
The Do’s: What You Should Do for a Smooth and Healthy Result
1. Clean Your Scalp Before Shaving
A clean scalp is the foundation of a good shave. Use a gentle cleanser like Bald& Headwash to remove sebum, sweat, and dirt. Warm water opens the pores and softens the skin – like giving your scalp a warm bath.
2. Trim First, Then Shave
Still have some hair on your head? Start with clippers. Razor + long hair = guaranteed frustration. Think of the difference between mowing a lawn and hacking through a jungle.
3. Use a Sharp Razor
A sharp blade is your best friend. Dull razors tug at the skin, cause nicks, and turn your morning routine into a horror show. Choose a multi-blade razor or an electric shaver designed for the scalp.
4. Hydrate After Shaving
Your scalp needs love after shaving. Use a gentle, alcohol-free aftershave or a hydrating cream like Bald& Day Cream. This prevents flaking, redness, and that tight feeling like your skull shrunk a size.
Pro Tip: Rinse your scalp again in the shower with Bald& Headwash before applying Bald& Day Cream. This calms the skin, removes any residue, and preps your head for the soothing effect of the cream.
5. Protect Against the Sun
A bald scalp is like a solar panel – sensitive to UV rays. On sunny days, use Bald& Day Cream and add a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

The Don’ts: What You Should Avoid
1. Don’t Shave Dry
Dry shaving is like skating on asphalt – it won’t end well. Always use a shaving product like gel or cream to reduce friction.
2. Don’t Use Cold Water
Cold water closes pores and stiffens the skin. Warm water is your ally – it softens the skin and makes shaving more comfortable.
3. Don’t Use a Dull Razor
A dull blade is like a bad date: it leaves you with pain and regret. Replace your razor regularly – ideally after 5 to 7 shaves.
4. Don’t Shave Too Often
Daily shaving can overwhelm your skin. Give your scalp a break. Try shaving every other day and see what works best for you.
5. Don’t Use Harsh Products
Alcohol, perfume, and sulfates are enemies of a healthy scalp. Avoid products that dry out or irritate your skin. Choose items that match your scalp’s pH, like our Bald& products.
