How To Shave Your Head Using Clippers Only. The Best Results 

Are you still using these, and if not what are you using?

I had my andis clippers for 10 years I keep em clean and oiled up

Thanks Greg!

Are using the balding clipper still and do they cut tour skin?

As another female would you say to get the absolutely best “close” cut you should use the clippers + the electric shaver? Do you get any irritation or bumps doing it this way? Also, I’m still learning but do you have a routine or setup so that you don’t have hair everywhere-on you and everything around you? Lol. Thanks

@@t.terrell7037 So i've tried different methods and so far the one that has left me with a nice clean shave and no skin irritation or razor bumps is Shaving with these Wahl clippers which I zero gapped, meaning i got the moving blade as close to the stationary blade making sure it doesn't peek over it. One pass with that and my shave is down to the scalp where you can see (i have oily skin prone to dandruff) my skin but still some light stubble. I follow it up with a wet shave using the foil shaver (Braun Series 3) and that gets it smooth, no stubble. I use a shaving lotion so it glides over my skin. After the shave I rinse and pat dry. Freshen my head with Witch hazel and I apply for good measure some bump control (my nape is very sensitive). this closes up the pores and prevents razor bumps. To moisturize without getting my scalp greasy I use a mixture of Tea tree and Eucalyptus oil. Shaving this way allows me to go up to 3-4 days between shaves cause the hair grows back softer vs. A razor where the hair is really sharp as it grows back. At least for me. Hope this helps.

@@allisonwendell9942 good technique

​@@allisonwendell9942 cool

I love my andis T Outliners. I cant use razors or electric shavers. I jus shave my head every 3 days and moisturize it with vitamin e creme, then Aloe after every shower and every shave.

it's fine dude, as long as they are oiled, you don't even need to do it every times really,

I recommend that you shave weekly. Daily shaving can damage your scalp and irritate the skin, may even cause scalp acne. I hope im not too late 🙏

@@justinian8104 yeah that’s true. It happened to me. I still can’t wait a week though 🤷🏽‍♂️

Awesome that you did that for your friend! Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@BenWilson-rb7nz Thanks man. Much more awesome is that the treatment worked, he has recovered, and is cancer free!

@@PositiveBreaks thats great to hear that your friend has recovered from that :)

They will!

Definitely will, I can go 4-5 days without shaving and not worry about ingrown hairs the way I do when I use a razor. The hair grows in softer.

The definitely are 👍🏾

@@BenWilson-rb7nz any other cheaper alternatives ?

Any other cheaper alternatives ?

@@ironlake8944 I haven’t used any other brands so I can’t make an informed recommendation. I’m sure there are some. Electric razors or shavers would also work.

@@ironlake8944 no

I’m 29 and did got it cut bald at a shop last Saturday. I had a bad hairline and balding. Had to accept it and it turned out great. Gotten some compliments already. It was pretty scary tho

@@Beezy844 I’m glad to hear that man 🙏🏾

Anytime!

I use T outliners are these better than those?

@@nodaysoff3324 I thing T outliners are great for lining up and cutting down hair. For bald shaving I prefer these Wahl Balding Clippers

@@nodaysoff3324 much better

Without naming the device, you might aswell delete this comment

Do you have a link for it and do you use clippers alone or with something else to get a super close cut? Thanks

I also have trich

Shaver gets closer, if your skin can handle it. But you still need the trimmers too, to bald your head with b4 you use your shaver

So expensive though!

I zero gapped mine to get my shave close to the scalp.

I adjusted them to get a closer cut but the top blade should not poke over the bottom stationary blade. If it does, loosen the screws and push it back some. There are lots of videos on You Tube that teach you how to do it. I haven't cut my head once using these. They are sharp!

@@allisonwendell9942 Thank you Allison :) I'll keep that in mind.

Is this what is meant by “zero gap”? Thanks

@@t.terrell7037 yes that is correct

Tea tree oil? That oils the blades on the clippers as well and does it prevent head from itching once hair grows back?

@@keemoaskew yup!

Yes they are. the T outliners get it close too, but the motor will burn out if you keep on using them regularly. These clippers have a powerful motor, it gets the job done quicker and the unit doesn't heat up as much as the outliner.

@@allisonwendell9942Are they good for negroid hair? I get so many ingrown hairs from razors and foil machines. Please let me know if ur still active

Hi. I use my foil clippers to touch up and go over my cut after i take it down with my balding clippers. It helps to get stragglers and give me an even smoother finish. It's still not as close as with a blade, but it's so very close!

@@allisonwendell9942 I see. I'm trying to avoid having to purchase both. Foil clippers are specifically just for touching up, correct? For instance, if he had tried to use foil clippers on his hair as it was in the beginning of this video, they basically wouldn't have done anything, correct?

@@MrPsalms207 It depends when I tried to use just foil clippers to get my hair bald it pulled and left me with irritation. That could be because my head is senstive and my hair is coarse. But I use them for touch up once my hair is as low as the clippers will get and it seems to do a really great job. It's still cheaper than razors cause I was shaving every other day and my razors had to be replaced like every three shaves. You can just try the clippers you may be happy with the results. i just bought the foil cause I knew I'd want it that much closer.

@@allisonwendell9942Can i be good for only using the Balding clipper?

I would use a guard to get it down as close as you can before going in with the balding clippers with no guard.

Yes, you can.

Carefully. You would have to use clippers with guards, starting with a higher setting at the bottom of your side burns then switching to lower settings as you move up.

i put on bump patrol, and, lectric shave let it dry, then shave whether its my balding clippers, cordless clippers, or, 5 blade razors.

Same bro! I'm done with electric razors. I get bumps on the back of my head from it every time. This looks way better!!

Yes 0.4 they awesome no need to zero gap

Yes, you can.

Yes, that's why he is shaving so close. So you could take your old clippers 0 gap Em and be good.

Yes, they are.

@@BenWilson-rb7nz can i ask something ? Does the barbers use balding clippers to do skin fade hair cuts ?

@@ironlake8944 Some do.

@@benjaminwilson6380 What others use ?

@@ironlake8944 A razor or electric shaver.

So for example, if I use trimmers to get close but go with hair grain it’s not getting super close so it’s like I have a shadow and then when I go against the grain it seems to cut closer but it doesn’t seem to grab all the hair I missed when I go against the grain when I’m trying to get as close as possible? So I’d have a cut where I can see my scalp although it’s not completely bald like it would be with a razor? Or do I just have crappy trimmers? (Andis Pivot) Any suggestions? Thanks!

It depends on the type of hair you have. Thick course hair is easier to bald than nice curly or thin hair.

You may need to adjust the clippers. I zero gapped mine to achieve a closer to the scalp shave.

@@allisonwendell9942 How did you zero gap it?

@@jabinthompson7984 So there are a lot of videos on You Tube that will walk you through it cause describing it is not as helpful as actually watching someone do it. Basically you loosen the two screws(do not remove them just slightly loosen) on the stable part of the clipper metal piece (the one that makes contact with your head) and push the inside blades up to align with the bottom half. Then you tighten the screws back (watch the video on how to do it so that the blades don't get crooked on you). Add the lubricating oil and turn them on. Then test them on the back of your hand, if it doesn't cut you, you're good to go. But like I said best to watch how it's done.

Was wondering the same thing and how it works.

Most definitely you can. Just zero gap the blade. They shave close

Not balding either. Had my hair the same way over the last few years and I guess it is time to try out something new. Why not going for a headshave if I am at it? And maybe growing a beard

That may apply to shaving with a razor, but not so much with clippers.

@@BenWilson-rb7nz true

@@BenWilson-rb7nz facts

Not to sound silly but if you don’t go against the grain how do you get all the hair? It feels like when I try to cut mine low I’m constantly going over the same area with the trimmers to clean up the hair and get all the dark spots. So the complete cut should be with and not against grain? Thank you!

What if you own your grey hairs? Nothing wrong in having them, even if it is a little early. Would show a lot of confidence if you would roll with it and I heard some women like grey hairs. Anyway, you know best what to do :)

How 😂

Um... this guy is bald

@@gaminglegend lol I know...I mean in general.

@@johnathoncastro I think bald people miss their hair so they want it and don't accept that they're bald. I don't think people who have hair always shave their heads, maybe they'll do it once or twice but typically they'll grow it back

@Johnathon Castro keep on growing buddy
