Professional Hair StylistFind the correct hairstylists, there are lots of regular hairstylists who aren't comfortable shaving hair off women. I suggest is going to see a queer hairstylist who is going to be more used to shaving the entire head. Choose a more gender-fluid salon, this is to make sure the hairstylist doesn’t charge by gender. Since women typically get charged more than a man for the same haircut.
Tips
- Wear bold frames or jewelry to really accentuate your shaved look.[22]Thanks
- A shaved head will really highlight your facial features. If you wear makeup, try bold eye shadows or lipsticks to draw the eye to your lovely features.Thanks
Warnings
- Your scalp is going to be very vulnerable to the elements. Always wear your sunscreen. Additionally, it's best to wear a hat if you're going to be outside for a long time.Thanks
- Be careful when getting food out of the oven after you shave your head. The heat can singe your exposed scalp. Consider wearing a head covering to be safe.[23]Thanks
