Shaving head, want to wax it. [Chromedome]

[AstroTurf]

Been shaving my head for about a month now.

Thinking of waxing it instead.

Good idea? Bad idea?

Hot wax poured onto your pip ?

Pretty much

Leg wax type stuff (doubt the strips would do unless it's the microwave first strips).

Bad idea, your scalp is very sensitive and there is little flesh between skin and cranium. You're going to give yourself head burns and lose a few strips of skin as a bonus.

And don't try hair removal cream either! A friend did that at school and had burns all over his head.

I think it's an excellent idea.
Go do it and report back on the massive success.



MASSSSSSIVE!!!

I used hair removal cream under my arm once (trying to get to an irritating mole so I could cut it out) and yea, was pretty rashy so would not even consider that.

I'll try a small section and see how that goes (with wax).

I use veet on my pip as long as you don't leave it on too long it is fine and works wonderfully. You must use the one that comes in a tube I think its called Veet In Shower hair removal cream. Don't use the one that comes in the bottle that burns like %#&^

What do you use to shave your head?

I use a headblade; it gives a very close shave, if that is what you're aiming for with the waxing.

Thanks for this. Will check it out.

I'll have to start completely shaving my pip very soon so anything to make the job easier.

I just use my Mach4 (about 10 minutes if I don't shave for a while, about 5 minutes if I do it every 48 hours).
Looking for something I can do every month or so.

Gonna try this

Will do it tomorrow afternoon in case I need some recovery time. If it fails I will just hide my burned pip under a beanie.

If you really want to go the depilatory cream route then Clicks is selling a product specially-formulated for your head. Just don't use the usual hair remover creams on your head because the scalp is very sensitive.

I would try Veet cream - just leave it on for like 30 minutes or more....

(I was kidding - I would think it would burn your pip off - worse than a 3rd degree sunburn)

Do not go for waxing. You ever seen a scalp wound, it bleeds like crazy because of all the shallow blood vessels.
This could not go well.

I use one of those Click's machines - comes with 4 attachments (No 1 - No 4).....
I just just the machine as is - no attachments, cuts is very close, almost a shave...do it once a week....

If you are white and have brown or black hair, you should go the laser method. It works on the scalp like a dream. Otherwise stick to shaving. Be carefull what you put on your scalp. You might end up wearing a hat for the rest of your life

I have a shaver, it is not short enough, I don't like the feel of stubble on my head.
