Smooth Scalp

The latest fashion statement and economically wise design in the recent decade has been the bald head.  I have grown accustom to this aerodynamic style.  Its highly manageable and only requires 5 to 10 minutes in order to gain the smooth shine I passionately desire.

The battle between using clippers or razors is unique to an individual's skin sensitivity and hair density.  If the hair is not cut at the right length and with the correct instrument, snagging and pulling could occur causing microabrasions.  Most scalp breathers prefer applying alcohol on their clean shaven skin to prevent baterial infections commonly caused by staphylococcus aureus.  The stringency of rubbing alcohol can deteriorate the skin, prolonging the regenerative process.

Cleaning the skin with non fragrance anti-bacterial soap (ex. Dial) and warm water will prevent harboring of Staph infection inside the scalp's microabrasions.  Applying cold water to close the skin's pores will facilitate a smooth scalp you have desired.  Lastly to increase the healing rate of the skin, apply Shea butter.  Shea butter is an anti-inflammatory fatty acid with many uses; one being a medicinal ointment and conditioner for scalp and hair.

My Skin Protects Me, But Still Vulnerable

Staph Infections are skin infections that are difficult to get rid of in close communities.  They develop opportunistically through skin abrasions forming pus filled layers below the skin.  The deeper the infection travels below the skin, the more destruction it can cause to the body.   Self examinations to identify physical appearances include pus, rashes, redness, and swelling aid in containing a possible outbreak.  Staph spreads by skin to skin contact and more commonly by sharing equipment, uniforms, and towels.  Prevent contamination by washing your hands, covering abrasions, and keep your belongings personal.  Keep clean and fight dirty!!
