Caring for Your Naked Head 

When you have a bald or shaven head, it can be tempting to leave your scalp alone. However, it is extremely important that you take care of it. Here are some tips for you:

Wash it. Even though your hair is bald, your scalp will still produce oils and become a magnet for dirt. In turn, this can clog your pores and stunt hair growth. You can easily prevent these issues by using a shampoo. If you have dandruff, use a dandruff shampoo. Scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis can be treated by spraying your hair with Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with water before washing your hair. Mix 1-part Apple Cider vinegar with 2 parts water. Please check to make sure you are not allergic to the mixture. 

Massage it. If you are trying to regrow your hair, consider doing scalp massages. They can increase the blood flow to your scalp and promote hair growth. Do scalp massages a few times a week, especially when you wash your hair. This way, you can do it all in one shot! 

Moisturize it. Who has time for dry scalp and/or dandruff flakes? Me neither! Apply a good moisturizer to your scalp; this can include a conditioner. Your scalp is more prone to dryness, because it is exposed to the elements, especially in the cooler months.

Use Sunscreen. Like your skin, your scalp needs protection from the UV rays of the sun. Before you head outside, apply sunscreen to your scalp to help prevent damage. Another alternative to sunscreen is hats and scarves. This way you can cover your scalp and look stylish doing it! 

Shave it. If you want to keep your hair shaved, there are a few things to remember. Before applying shaving cream or soap, wet your hair and brush it against the direction it grows. Another alternative to shaving cream is hair conditioner. It’s thick, moisturizing, and can help provide a smoother shave. Be sure your razor is not dull or rusty. Shave in the direction the hair grows, and try not to apply too much pressure. 

Wearing a shaven or bald head does require some maintenance, including washing, massaging, moisturizing, protecting, and shaving it, but it will ensure that your scalp is healthy and looks great!
