Bald head “Shadow” [F.A.Q.]

Original Content by Bald Head Tips.com

We’ve all seen those perfectly bald heads that have absolutely no shadow to them.

Meaning of “Shadow” – the area in which you can visibly see the outline of where the hair used to be.

For those who are intentionally bald, having a shadowless clean shave is the ultimate goal. However, achieving that goal is not a natural process.

There are a few factors that can contribute to a shadowless clean shave look:

Male Pattern Baldness taking over
Electrolysis and Hair Removal Treatments
Makeup

Shadow exists because the hair root still exists after shaving. As long as the hair root exists, there will always be a shadow. See illustration of hair root.

Electrolysis and hair removal treatments kill the root, resulting in less shadow. However, if that is what your ultimate goal is, there are less expensive and less painful ways to go about it such as makeup or foundation that closely matches your skin tone.
