How to Shave Your Head Using Magic Shave Powder
Getting a bald head without shaving takes just 5 simple steps. Choose your product, whether it’s any of our bald head hair removal creams or shaving powders, to get started.
Step 1. Stop Shaving for 36 Hours
Before you can even start using the razorless shaving cream or shaving powder you’ll want to skip using a razor for at least 36 hours for the best results. When you shave your skin with a razor, the hair is scraped and shredded and sometimes the skin itself is affected. This irritated skin could become more irritated if you use a depilatory cream directly afterward. Instead, wait 36 hours so your skin is properly healed.
Step 2. Mix the Powder With Water
If you’re using one of the razorless shaving powders, you’ll have to mix the formulation with water to create the hair removal paste. For those using the razorless shaving creams, like our depilatory creams for head and face, you can skip this step. Combine the powder and water at a one-to-one ratio, meaning you’ll mix equal parts water to powder. To cover your entire head, start with four teaspoons of water and four teaspoons of powder before combining more. You’ll want the formulation to create a toothpaste-like consistency that is thick enough to cover your entire head, without the ingredients dripping or clumping together. Although this step shouldn’t be messy, it’s best to have a towel on hand.
Step 3. Conduct a Patch Test
While these products are safe to use on the skin and hair, you’ll still want to test out the formulation before applying it to your head. This way you can determine if you’ll have any irritations or reactions to the Magic shave creams or powders. Wash the product off immediately if you experience redness or burning.
Step 4. Apply the Magic Shave Powder Mixture or Cream
Cover your entire clean, dry head with a thin but even layer of Magic shave powder or cream of your choice. For any of the Magic shave creams, allow the paste to sit on your head for four minutes while the Magic shave powder mixture can stay on for five minutes for those with thin hair and seven minutes for thicker hair types. To ensure the product doesn’t stay on your head too long, set a timer. As the product develops on your scalp, it will weaken the strands making them easy to remove without the need for a razor.
Step 5. Wipe It Away
Now for the fun part of this hair process — the removal. All you need to do is take a warm, wet cloth and wipe away the Magic shave depilatory cream from your head and you’ll be left with a smooth, bald head. Depending on the application and the thickness of your hair, you may need to do another round of hair removal. Make sure you wait 24 hours before using Magic shave products again and repeat the process for further removal. Avoid using harsh soap to scrub away any residue and stick to warm water and a cloth to effectively remove all hair. Using a gentle moisturizer afterward is optional but recommended.
