Benefits of shaving

Here at Dear Barber we believe that there are many positive reasons for shaving your head, although they don’t necessarily apply to one man as they might for another. Here are some of the key benefits:  

  1. HIDES MALE PATTERN BALDNESS

More on male pattern baldness later, but suffice to say, it’s the biggest reason behind your hair loss. Shaving your head eliminates the need to over-compensate for your MPB – including the dreaded combover or hair loss treatments. 

  1. NO MORE PRIMPING

All that time you’ve spent in front of your bathroom mirror, trying to make the best of what you have left. Forget about it. Shaving your head eliminates one time-sucking part of your morning routine. 

  1. IT MAKES YOU LOOK YOUNGER

A lot of men, especially older men, suddenly look younger once they’ve shaved their head. Ahead of hair that’s hanging on for dear life, on the other hand, can make you look your age, and beyond. 

  1. GOODBYE BAD HAIR DAYS

We’ve all had our share of bad haircuts and days when our hair seems to have a practical-joking mind of its own. Shave your head and say sayonara to those types of nuisances. 

  1. IT’S COMFORTABLE

If you’re active or live in warmer climates, a clean dome is probably going to feel better than a full head of hair. Even if you don’t live in a warmer climate, it’s going to feel better in the summer. And if it’s cold, you can always rock a great-looking hat. 

  1. NO MORE WASHING & STYLING
This ties into item #2 above – if you don’t have it, there’s no need to worry about its daily upkeep. Shampooing, combing, brushing, and styling your hair has been a part of your daily existence since, well, forever. Washing and drying a shaved scalp, on the other hand, is exponentially easier. 
You’ll probably be surprised at how much time you save once you’ve shaved your head. 
  1. YOU’LL APPEAR MORE CONFIDENT
There’s a certain amount of insecurity that comes with losing your hair. You may feel like your youthful manliness and virility are being challenged. 
On the other hand, when you accept your hair loss for what it is without going into a dark place mentally for weeks or months, shaving your head can be very liberating. And it exudes confidence. It demonstrates that you’re self-assured and embraced what nature gave you. It’s the same with facial hair – it’s to be worn with confidence.
