Tips and Advice

So you are thinking about shaving your head? That's dope. You're practically a new baldie already - it's now a matter of when, not if. It's a low maintenance style, but there is maintenance. And if you've never shaved your head before? There are some things you'll want to know before you get started. If you're planning on rocking your shaved head long-term? Professional hairstylists and females who have shaved their heads for a hot minute or two have a lot of words of wisdom for you, so your scalp stays healthy and you can rock your shaved head like a pro. I'll drop some links below. Some as posts and some as video. And you'll be ready to go. Remember that your hair length and texture, your hair's thickness, your head shape, and complexion are unique to you. Advice that might work for one female won't necessarily apply to another. Whether or not you are going for a buzz cut or a smooth shave will also affect your maintenance routine. Anyway, with that in mind, let's drop some knowledge.
