How to Care for a Shaved Head with Cécred's Nourishing Hair Oil

Thinking about going bald or already embracing the look? Shaving your head is liberating because it has the potential to shift how you think of the world and yourself. It’s a bold move, one that comes with a fresh approach to scalp care. 

When you shave, you’re revealing skin that needs its own set of care instructions. Just like your face, your scalp produces sebum (natural oils) to keep it healthy, but without proper care, it can lead to dryness, irritation, or even ingrown hairs. That’s why shaved head care is all about maintaining hydration and protecting the scalp’s natural barrier. Let’s walk through the essentials of how to take care of a shaved head and keep it looking and feeling smooth.

After shaving, your scalp is more vulnerable to sun exposure and irritation. You’ll want bald head care products for regular cleansing and moisturizing is essential to maintain a smooth, healthy appearance. Use a gentle cleanser like Cécred’s Hydrating Shampoo to while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture.
