Head shaving machine

Shaving your head is a very responsible and painstaking task. After all, it is necessary to carefully get rid of all the hair - and at the same time avoid cuts. To do this, you need to find out what a head shaving machine can be and how to choose the right one.

Shaving the head is a process in which the hair is completely removed from the surface of the skin (and in such a way that neither the look nor the hand can detect it). To achieve this effect, you need to use the right tool. Not only the quality of the procedure performed, but also its safety will depend on the choice and proper operation.

That is why it is very important for men (and in some cases for women) to choose the most suitable head shaving machine that can be used regularly without fear for their safety and for the quality of the result.

To completely shave off the hair from the surface of the head, both in the hairdresser's and at home, you can use the following machines:

1. Ordinary hair clipper. In this case, do not use any nozzles and cut to zero.In this case, it is impossible to achieve perfectly shaved skin, since the length of the remaining hair will be at least 1 mm. Such a procedure cannot even be called shaving - it is more an ultra-short haircut. But in cases where the scalp is very sensitive, when it has a lot of damage, this option fits very well.
2. A trimmer is a device that has recently appeared on the market. It is used to correct the beard, to remove hair in the ears, nose, as well as to correct and shape the eyebrows. Such a wide range of applications made me think about whether it is possible to shave their head. Here it is worth understanding that such a procedure is very lengthy, and it is impossible to perform it only in cases where there are practically no hairs on the head. It is still better to give preference to a 3 in 1 trimmer, as it has more power.
3. The electric razor has long been used specifically as a head razor. It is better to give preference not to rotary models, but to mesh ones. So you can not be afraid to get a cut or irritation after the procedure. But in some cases (for example, with too dense vegetation on the head or a special structure of the skull), it is simply not possible to milk the desired smoothness of the skin using this device. An electric shaver should also not be used if the scalp is damaged or irritated.
4. Straight razor. From the name itself it is already clear that it is not worth using such a device as a head shaving machine at home, the risk of injury is too great. And in salons, its use is now being refused more and more often.However, using such a machine, you can achieve the desired smoothness of the head, but you can also get a big injury, and the result will be short-lived.
5. Regular razor. It is this shaving device that has gained the greatest popularity among supporters of the home procedure. It allows you to achieve the desired smoothness of the skin as quickly as possible. The machine is quite safe and does not require special skills to use. And you can shave your head with it regularly - without anyone's help.

If you need to shave your hair to the very root, then it is better to give preference to either a regular razor or straight razor. At the same time, the first one can be used at home, but it is recommended to shave hairs with a dangerous machine only in the salon. These two devices are suitable for use only in cases where there is no damage to the epidermis, and the scalp is not hypersensitive.

When there is a lot of damage on the head, and the shape of the skull is bulging, it is better to use a regular hair clipper (without attachments). Perfect smoothness cannot be achieved, but it will be possible to avoid complications after shaving.

When choosing a hair clipper, trimmer or electric razor, they are used in the usual way. In all other cases, shaving the head is performed as follows:

1. Too long hairs are shortened with scissors or a typewriter.
2. The head is thoroughly washed, rinsed and slightly dried.
3. A special shaving agent is applied. It can be a gel or foam.
4. The tool needs to be absorbed into the upper layer of the epidermis - within a couple of minutes.
5. Hair begins to be shaved from the head in the direction from the forehead and to the neck. So it is necessary to process the entire head, strip by strip.
6. The remains of the product are gently removed from the skin with a damp cloth.
7. Shaving agent is reapplied to the skin.
8. Now the movements of the machine should be carried out against hair growth. First, the forehead and crown are treated, then the hairs on the temporal parts are shaved, and at the end - on the back of the head.
9. After the end of the procedure, the head is thoroughly washed in warm water and wiped dry.
10. The skin is treated with aftershave lotion.

The procedure for shaving the head is a rather complicated and painstaking process, although at first glance it may seem the other way around. If it is performed for the first time, then it is best to contact the hairdresser. The specialist will not only tell and show in detail how such a shave is performed, but will also help you choose the most suitable head shaving machine - depending on the type of skin and hair, as well as the structure of the skull. In the future, such a haircut can already be done at home on your own.
