Closely Shaved Head & Shampoo Help

[Wawaweewa25]

Hey all,

Great forum you got here.

I'm a 31 year old male. I have a closely shaved head, not Mr. Clean bald, but more of a buzzed shaved head; a #1 clipper extension to be specific.

Anyways luckily I don't have any hair loss, but I do have a major issue with shampooing.

When I shampoo with traditional shampoos with have sulfates and such, I get acne like break outs on my forehead and sometimes on my face.

When I use Nizoral shampoo it gets rid of any acne like breakouts, but leaves my scalp very dry and flaky, looks like its snowing on my head.

Lately I've been going the no shampoo route, just rinsing and this is actually working great to completely get rid of the break outs.

However my issue is when I cut my hair or buzz it with the beard trimmer, if I just rinse my hair, I have tons of little hairs left in my head and around my forehead. Kinda embarassing.

My latest thought is to use baking soda and water as a shampoo/rinse on the days I cut my hair (once every 4-5 days).

Was curious if there are any other guys on here with buzzed heads and what you do for your shampoo routine?

Any recommendations are appreciate.

Thx

Sunny

You might look into Nioxin hair treatment/shampoo. It's designed for balding guys, but I use it simply because I really like the way my hair feels after it.

I use the Shampoo, and the Scalp Therapy (which is basically conditioner).

Thx for the suggestion, I'll look into that as a possible option.

My main issue with traditional shampoo is the dry scalp (doesn't itch) and skin irritation. I literally get one or two large pimples on my cheek when I use regular shampoo. And like I said in my initial post, Nizoral works to control any skin breakouts, but leaves my scalp dry.

just use a conditioner after using nizoral and you should be sorted man. Or use Revita shampoo. It has the same active ingredient in it as nizoral, but with many others which I *think* counters the drying effect.
