And for this, you need to think of your above-the-neck skincare regimen as one that now includes the entire dome—you should hydrate the skin up top just as you would on your face. Exfoliating and cleansing do a whole lot of good in maintaining your clean bald scalp; you can end up losing a lot of your skin’s natural moisture in the process. Truth be told, if you exfoliate regularly, you should prevent any real risk, but there is also the option of using an antifungal shampoo once every so often (like once a month, if you rarely experience flaking), just to neutralize any potential fungal buildups.

Instead of foaming up and barely lubricating your skin with tiny air bubbles, it goes on thick with a rich, cream texture that coats your skin and ensures a close, irritation-free shave. Avoid products with harsh detergents or artificial fragrances since these can be drying and irritating. But if you want to look good bald and prevent a variety of health concerns, you've got to keep your scalp out of the sun. I was hesitant on purchasing the products, however after trying them for a week I feel they are the best value for men with bald head.

While this low maintenance look does provide the added benefit of a much simpler grooming routine, that doesn’t mean you get to start ignoring your dome altogether. As epic as bald head moisturizer can be, choosing a product that actually delivers on its promises is a real minefield. It combats this pesky condition with Ziziphus joazeiro bark extract - a natural alternative to the tar, zinc, and other harsh ingredients you'll find in typical dandruff shampoos.
