Shave your head bald at home.
Many men and women are choosing to go bald. This bold fashion statement, however, can be quite an expensive venture and may not be for everyone. Many salons offer this service, but the price tag may be very high and could even cost over $100. A more economical alternative is to shave a person's head in the comfort of his own home. This can be accomplished with an electric razor, a mirror and a friend to ensure that there are no stray hairs.
Instructions
1. Trim your hair as short as possible. This may require using a pair of scissors to cut down a longer hair style or you may have shorter hair that must be shaved to the stubble with a pair of hair clippers.
2. Take a shower. This will not only clean away any stray hairs from your body, it will also help soften the scalp and open the pores, both of which will cause less irritation and make the head more responsive to the experience. During the shower, wash your scalp with shampoo and wipe it clean with a soft towel.
3. Apply a thin layer of shaving lubricant to the top of the head. This can come in the form of shaving cream or gel. Work the lubricant into the scalp to help moisturize the skin further, which will lessen the risk of razor burn and cuts.
4. Shave with a sharp disposable razor. Applying light pressure, begin at the front of the scalp and shave the head against the grain. This will give you a closer shave.
5. Rinse the blade often and work your way to the back of the head. More pressure may need to be applied to the back of the head because the hair in this area is generally more coarse.
6. Rinse your entire head with cool water after this initial shave. Look into a mirror and run your hands over your head to check for any spots you may have missed. Place a layer of lubricant onto these areas and shave them.
7. Wash the head with water and a mild facial soap. Mild soap does not contain any dyes or perfumes.
8. Place a layer of aftershave lotion onto your scalp. This will help moisturize the skin, which will reduce the risks of razor burn.
