Whether you’re fresh to the bald life or you’ve owned your shine for years, one thing’s for sure: a bare head takes more than confidence; it takes care. Just ask Hollywood’s best.
From The Rock to Common, even Jason Statham never hits the red carpet without a well-cared-for dome. But be real: flaky skin, razor bumps, and surprise scalp sunburns? Total vibe killers.
The good news?
You don’t need a glam squad to keep your head camera-ready.
With the right bald head care routine, you can score that smooth shave, ditch the irritation, and serve red carpet polish every single day. No more dry patches or hiding under a snapback, just a clean, confident shine.
Ready to step up your grooming game?
These are the bald head products every A-list-worthy guy should pack in his arsenal.
Step 1 – Shave
Choose Your Weapon
When it comes to keeping your shaved head smooth, your choice of tool matters. A 3-blade pivoting head razor, like the Leaf razor, offers precision shaving with minimal irritation, making it ideal for those who prefer a closer, more controlled shave.
However, an electric razor or electric shaver provides convenience and speed, great for quick touch-ups and reducing the risk of ingrown hairs. Weigh the pros, such as comfort and closeness, against potential cons, including irritation or reduced precision.
Prep and Glide
Proper preparation makes shaving effortless and irritation-free. Begin with a gentle face wash or facial cleanser to clear away dirt and excess oil.
Then, work in a cushion of Cremo Original Shave Cream, Astonishingly Superior Ultra-Slick, which keeps your blade skating smoothly and helps reduce redness and razor bumps.
Proper prep is key to avoiding discomfort and keeping your scalp irritation-free.

Step 3 – Moisturize & Protect
Moisturize & Hydrate
After shaving and exfoliating, hydrate your scalp with Comme Homme Lightweight Moisturizer, a bald‑head‑specific formula that sinks in fast, calms redness, and won’t leave an oily shine.
Opt for an anti-shine product to keep unwanted glare at bay and calm redness or irritation effectively.
Shield From the Sun
Sun exposure can lead to painful scalp sunburns and perpetuate hair loss myths, so reach for BLD BRO Daily SPF 50, a scalp-friendly sunscreen that dries matte and never feels chalky. Protect your dome daily with an SPF-rich sunscreen formulated explicitly for the scalp, helping ensure continuous protection and confidence under any weather.
(Bonus) Post-shave Anti-dandruff Shampoo
If flakes and dandruff persist, incorporate a post-shave anti-dandruff shampoo into your routine. It will manage flakiness and leave your scalp refreshed and irritation-free.
Why Bald Heads Need Special Care
Going bald isn't just about losing hair; it's about embracing the skin that's now exposed 24/7. Without hair as a shield, your scalp becomes vulnerable to irritation, sun damage, and clogged pores, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Standard haircare products often contain harsh chemicals that do more harm than good to delicate skin. Instead, your bald head care routine should prioritize gentle formulas packed with natural ingredients that soothe, hydrate, and protect your scalp.
Embracing products specifically crafted for bald care ensures your dome stays healthy, comfortable, and irritation-free, allowing you to proudly showcase your head every day.
