    Posted: September 12 2006 at 1:16pm
I'm a 22 year old male, who recently shaved all my hair off. Seeing as how not much is needed to take care of short hair, I still seem to have an oily scalp. I have a lot of dirt and build up after a day, and the only time this seemed to have been solved was when I was taking Viviscal. Now that I don't use it anymore, all seems to have come back. My question is, for a guy who shaves his head about once a week, is it necessary to use shampoo (which I do) or anything special??

I just use normal shampoo...
 
And OMG yes, it does itch all the time, I have had dandruff issues in the past and still seem to have a very dry scalp after washing. There are bumps but I believe it's due to itching...its mainly in the back part of my head.

you may be shaving your head to often which is resulting in the bumps when you finish shaveng you need to apply some sort of moisturizer on it like a light hair oil jojoba oil would work found in most herbal stores. Start using any one of these shampoos
  • Nature's Gate Tea Tree
  • Nature's Gate Aloe
  • Calaguala Fern & Cade Tar Scalp Treatment Shampoo (Aubrey Organics)
  • Selenium Blue Shampoo (Aubrey Organics)
  • Big Sky Tea Tree Shampoo/conditioner (Prairie Naturals)
  • Moonshine Recovery Emollient (Prairie Naturals)
  • White Lightening Scalp Tonic (Prarie Naturals)
  • you will also need to follow this

    Apple cider vinegar used as the final hair rinse after a shampoo has proven very effective in balancing the pH levels of the scalp and controlling dandruff.

    Do a rinse that is 1 part of apple cider vinegar to 3 parts of warm water.  Apply cider vinegar can also be applied directly (undiluted) to the scalp.  After the vinegar has had a chance to soak into the scalp, shampoo with a very mild shampoo.

    all these things are natural and safe and found at most herbal stores if not i can link you to some.:)

    Well, I don't shave with a blade....would it make a difference?? About the whole apple cider thing...it sounds kind of funny lol but I guess if it would help then I'll give anything a shot. Is there a place where I can get more info on that?
     
    Also, before shaving my head I already had this problem to begin with. And after checking in the mirror I dont have any bumps, the only thing I have really is an itch towards the back of my head at certain times. It seems to come and go, but its mainly more of an issue a day after shampooing.

    many on here know about ACV its a common thing to use for dandruff and those shampoos are good for the problem your having. Also many on here know about jojoba oil and the benefits of that which will be good for you after you shave.

     info on ACV -http://www.apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com/natural-hair-care-product.html
