How To SAFELY Shave Your Head BALD - 5 HEAD SHAVING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS - Hair Loss & Balding Advice

[@pangylang]

I’m a young woman (25) and just shaved because alopecia areata has taken over. I know you have a different audience, but just know those kind words toward the end of the video were everything to me also. Thank you 🙏🏼

I am 25. I am not going through any hair loss but I am shaving my head bald and keeping it that way for my mom who is going through chemotherapy and I wanna be right there with her while She deals with this. This video helped me out so much. Thank you.

28 years old and decided to take the dive in going bald. Have to admit it was frightening as I was going into this new transition. After I finished I felt a huge weight off my chest. It felt so good embracing the new look, and I don't regret it.

[@jcandrade]

Same here. More confident now that I’ve shaved it off. Going on a year and loving it.

[@miquelspears6096]

29 and bout to make that jump 😭 my heart can’t take this anxiety 😂

[@jordanrodriguez5436]

@@miquelspears6096 it feels so much better because the insecurity of trying to mask bald spots is worse then actually being bald lol

[@BassPlayer9000]

Same I am 28 and I just started shaving mine. It was on my mind for a while and I was looking forward to it. Just decided to do it one day. Its definitely something you do not plan for you just have to join the gang! Bald is beautiful! Bald gang

[@ryanquigley5070]

So I'm only 19 and have consistently been shaving my head completely bald for roughly half a year or longer. I started noticing that my hair was receding when I was like 17 and that took a pretty big toll on me considering I had medium length hair and put a lot of effort into trying to style it, which overtime just led to a weird com over type thing as my hair loss progressed over the last couple of years. I turn 20 next month and I'm really glad I decided to start shaving my head completely because I definitely didn't want to be one of those guys that clings onto the hair on the sides of their head or use a hairpiece. I'm way more confident now than I ever was. Thank you for this video as I believe it will help a lot of guys out when going through similar things.

[@laowai2000]

Gets easier as you get older. To be honest, if you look good with a shaved head it is not even an issue. One good thing is you never have to think about how your hair looks.

[@RickyBenangVlogs]

Happy for you Ryan and well done for having the courage to embrace this completely natural change that us men go through sometimes! I've been there :) Stay well my friend

Can I just say that, as a new bald head shaver, this video is exactly what I’ve been looking for. You’re straightforward, compassionate approach to giving this advice is fantastic. Keep it up!

[@417Graphix]

Fortunately i shaved my head a lot as teenager so I was used to the bald look. When I started losing my hair for real, it was a huge shock at first, but there was no looking back now. Head shaving became a necessity instead of just change up in my look. 👍🏾

[@NikkiRuotsalainen]

I started to shave my head about 5 years ago, and now I've started to shave it with a Razor. Thank you for all the tips and thank you for making this vid 💕

[@RickyBenangVlogs]

Thanks so much for taking the time to tune in Nikki! Stay well :)

[@ericyan6983]

The last part of this video is truly inspiring. “... an opportunity to take a look within yourself ...” Wise words. Really appreciate you making this video. I’ve been shaving my head for 5 years now and have just begun trying to use blade (hate the bumps from using a clipper). Hopefully my first blade-shave goes well. Thanks again! 😆

[@connorp4710]

Came here cause I knew I was destined for baldness eventually. I’m turning 20 in June and was considering just doing this to experiment. But what did I get? A valuable life lesson along with the tips I was looking for. Thank you, you’re a great man 👑

What I like about your channel Ricky, is that you are not only giving some tips on safe head shaving, but that you're also focusing on mental health. I can relate to the stories you've told. Keep up the great job you're doing!

[@RickyBenangVlogs]

End of video speech, is so important. Very well said.

[@NorsePJ]

Your advice to people on hair loss is such a positive thing that I think even full haired people might go the way of baldness. Personally, I both shave and buzz cut depending on mood. My main issue is that I have bumps and cherry angiomas to deal with which leads to cuts here and there. And it doesn't matter whether I use a double bladed disposable shaver like BIC or an old fashioned double edged safety razor. And of course, once you have a few nicks then it's easy to recut those same spots. But most of the time it's all right.

[@nicoletiana]

i shaved my head bald september 30 of 2022 due to trich and i have a lot of videos about my journey on my channel. best decision ever, i'm so glad i did it. it was liberating and empowering. life changing.

[@tafadzwa2001]

Trich causes hair loss as well? I’m so sorry

[@Jackies001]

I'm genetically bald (M shape) inherited from my father. Front hairline was tall since primary, but it just gets super obvious now I'm in my 27. It bothers me because my long hair just doesn't work well with wind and I find myself always trying to perming my hair curly to create volume and wearing a cap to hide the front baldness. Can't even enjoy the wind when I go cycling. I have now decided to go buzz cut first. And eventually find my way towards embracing full bald shave. Thanks for the words toward the end of the video, they were really helpful 💪

I'm 64, with a recent cancer diagnosis. About 3 weeks after my first chemotherapy, my hair began falling out in big clumps... I looked like a mangey coyote! So, now I'm rockin' the Telly Savalas look. I have a lot of ink, which I used to conceal because I was a medical professional before retirement. Now I wear sleeveless T's, cargo shorts and Doc Martens, and top it off with RayBan Harbormaster sunglasses. I also lost about 30 lbs due to lack of appetite. I'm 6'4" and 185 lbs today. People who knew me before hardly recognize me today!

[@UsernameInvalidTHIS]

Same. I need to find some kind of electric razor though if I'm to keep going. I'm so slow with a normal razor it's ridiculous. Sides and especially the back are all the trouble. Being bald on top would hardly make it any faster imo, that's the easiest bit.

[@Avetarx]

@@UsernameInvalidTHIS I bought some generic rechargeable 4D electric head shaver from Aliexpress that cost me around $15. It's easy to use and maintain.

[@UsernameInvalidTHIS]

@@Avetarx Yeah, I'm looking around at them atm. When the shaver shop opens up again here I'm going to look at them in person. Philips ones are a bit of money, but when you compare them to the price of a few haircuts...

Maybe it's because I was used to get getting buzzcuts my entire life, but making the jump to full-on bald actually wasn't that scary for me, thankfully. What I definitely agree with you on, and what I want other guys who aren't having as easy a time as I did to know, is that you'll find out....you actually don't look half bad with it all off or, even better, you look *better* than you did with your hair. Even though mine would never grow very long, I always felt kinda dorky with it at a certain length, especially before I grew my beard (which, unfortunately, being almost 23, has yet to attain your level of gloriousness). But now? Damn, shave my head down and with the facial hair I've got....even *I* have to admit I look good, and I have self-esteem problems besides. Appreciate the vid, broski, and especially that you just gave advice and not a documentary with a laundry list of expensive "must-have" products.

[@andy67stevo]

Followed this advice today and one of your other vids before I braved it. Spot on, thank you 👍🪒

I hope you see this comment. Thank you very much for this video. I'm 24 and I just shaved my head today. I'm still very insecure about it but this video helped a lot. I'm not going to look through your channel and girly find more head shaving videos. If you see this, how can I get rid of the"shadow" from the rest of my hair after I've shaved? I want a cleaner look but don't know how.

[@RickyBenangVlogs]

Hey man! Thanks so much for taking the time to tune in to the video and also, congrats on taking the step to shave your head! I was also 24 the first time I did so. I hope you find the rest of my channel helpful too if you do get a chance to look at it :) I would say for having the cleanest shave possible, it's best to shave against the grain. Naturally the 'shadow' may return a day or two after shaving but that's completely normal. If you haven't got the most sensitive skin then you may be able to get away with daily shaving and never having to deal with the shadow. Hope that helps :)

[@Bab_Ne]

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

My situation is a bit different. I am balding, have been for a number of years but primarily I want to shave my head because of my dry scalp and my case of dermatitis that I can't shake no matter what shampoo I've tried. I normally shave my head with my trimmer and a 00000 blade which is as close to the skin as possible, only one level above completely bald. I have only shaved my head once with a razor but personally I think shaving makes the most sense in the shower which minimizes cuts, razor bumps, keeping your face or scalp warm makes shaving much easier.

[@danilbek3185]

Being bald is power and strength warriors, guys we must be proud of it God thanks. Embrace it 🦁🦅🐺👑

[@davidhammond5784]

Don’t forget to use an astringent after shaving. I personally use witch hazel wipes. This also helps prevent razor bumbs and feels really good on your scalp.
