There have been many famous men and women who have proudly sported bald heads over the years – think Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel, Natalie Portman, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Charlize Theron and Demi Moore.

Celebrities aside, whether it’s a lifestyle choice or you are almost completely bald naturally and proud of it, there are many benefits to shaving your head, regardless of your gender. All it takes is the right tools (and by that we mean a good quality shaver!) and confidence to pull it off.

Are you thinking of shaving your head? Here are just some of the positives you can expect:

It Can Help You Deal with Hair Loss And Thinning

Hair loss and thinning affect both men and women. It can be the result of genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions such as cancer and alopecia, or simply a part of ageing. For men and women who are experiencing hair loss, a shaved head can actually restore their self-confidence. A bald head can be very liberating because you won’t be hiding your hair loss or receding hairline anymore.

It Saves You Time

We all lead busy lives and for many people washing, cutting and styling hair is a time-consuming grooming exercise both in the mornings and at night. In fact, it’s easy to spend between 30 mins to an hour a day on grooming when you factor in washing, conditioning, blow-drying, brushing and styling.

Although a shaved head still requires some care and maintenance, it’s less hassle and will instantly give you back more time in the day. You can also say goodbye to bad hair days in one quick shave!

It Saves You Money

Maintaining and keeping your locks healthy – whether long or short – costs money. Visiting hairdressers or barbers for cuts and colour, expensive hair treatments and products, including shampoos and conditioners, can all add up, but they are no longer necessary with a shaved head.

The truth is, hair costs quickly dissipate with a shaved head. It’s a much more cost-effective option as you don’t have to worry about the look of your locks.

It Can Help You Discover A ‘New’ You

There’s nothing quite as exciting as changing up your appearance. In fact, switching up your hairstyle can actually make you feel like a new person and highlight your facial features. If you are ready for a radical new look, shaving your head might give you that extra boost of confidence.
