Are There Any Benefits to Shaving Your Head?

 Should I shave my head? Benefits, precautions, and how to do it


How to shave your head safely

You don’t want to rush your first shave, so leave yourself plenty of time.

What you’ll need

  • adequate lighting
  • hand mirror to check the back, the sides, and behind your ears
  • scissors or clippers
  • razor with a new blade
  • shaving cream or gel
  • moisturizer or aftershave lotion
  • soft towel
Instructions

If you have long hair, cut the bulk of it off before shaving. Get as close to the scalp as you can. It may help to use clippers. Then, give your scalp a thorough washing with warm water.

Next, follow these steps:
  1. Apply shaving cream or a warm compress to your scalp for a few minutes to soften the hair.
  2. Use a sharp razor. Dull blades make nicks and cuts more likely.
  3. Start with the top of your head. Use gentle strokes, going in the direction of hair growth.
  4. Rinse the blade after every stroke to get rid of excess shaving cream and hair.
  5. Move to the sides, taking care to fold your ears down to avoid nicks.
  6. Shave the back of your head, working down toward your neck.
  7. Use a handheld mirror to make sure you haven’t missed any spots.
  8. Rinse your scalp with cool water.
  9. Pat dry with a soft towel.
  10. Apply moisturizer or aftershave lotion.

You can also use an electric razor, but the result may not be as smooth. On the other hand, it’s faster and easier because you don’t need to use shaving cream or keep rinsing the blade.

How often you’ll need to shave depends on how smooth you want your head and how quickly your hair grows.

Why I Buzzed My Hair, and Why You Should Too




Her advice is simple

 If you’ve ever wanted to buzz your hair, but don’t for any of the above reasons, then let me provide you with six reasons for you to take the plunge and chop it all off: 
  •  Cutting all of your hair off is so satisfying. Ever taken scissors to barbie hair as a kid? Imagine that, but ten times more fun. It’s a super cool sound, and you can give yourself a bowl cut for five minutes without ruining your life. 
  • It’s super cathartic, and a great way to release emotion in a way that is constructive instead of destructive. In a lot of ways it was symbolic for me, but cutting your hair like this can mean whatever you want it to mean, and it can be a good metaphor for letting go and releasing the things that are weighing you down.
  •  It’s super convenient. I never have a bad hair day, and I never have to worry about how to wear my hair in the mornings. 
  • It never gets in my way, never sticks to things, and you can see all of my cool piercings all of the time. 
  • You’ll save so much money on hair products. Shampoo, conditioner, dry shampoo, hair gel, hair mousse, even hairbrushes? Say goodbye. You’ll never need them again. 
  •  The buzz cut is iconic. I’ve never seen a woman look bad with a shaved head, and every room you walk into will notice you’re there. It will bring attention to your features, and make every outfit you wear so much cooler. 
  • You deserve to be happy, regardless of what other people think. You deserve to be free of societal expectations, and do whatever the hell you want with your hair.
