If you decide that the bald look is for you, it is important to do it
properly. Take care of your head and it could work for you.

Some men think that if their hair is thinning on top, growing it longer may be the answer. But actually the worst thing you can do if your hair loss is becoming apparent is to try to hide the thinning areas with long sections of hair. In fact, cutting your hair short can lessen the impact of thinning hair or even disguise it completely.
A more radical step than short hair is to shave your head. This can suit some men and there are women who find a completely shaved head very sexy.
But if you go for this option there are a few things to bear in mind. First of all, make sure that you are using a very good razor and get rid of it the moment it starts to get blunt. Also, invest in a good shaving gel or cream, or perhaps a shaving oil. This will help to ensure that your head is smooth after shaving.
You should really treat your scalp like a woman treats her face. Use an exfoliant before you shave and don't forget to protect it with sunscreen. Even if it is not sunny outside, there is no harm in protecting your head by applying a moisturising sun cream every day.
