Scalp Care Routine Card

After a close buzz, the scalp behaves like newly exposed skin. Keep the routine simple: protect, cleanse, moisturize, and watch for warning signs.

Morning: protect exposed scalp. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen when outdoors, cover the crown and hairline, and use a hat for long exposure. Follow the product label for reapplication.

After sweating: rinse or cleanse gently. Sweat, sunscreen, hats, and headphones can create friction. Do not scrub aggressively.

Evening: check and simplify. Look for redness, bumps, tender spots, flakes, or dryness. Use a light moisturizer if the scalp feels tight.

Before the next cut: clean the clipper. Brush hair from the blade area, oil the blade if the manual calls for it, and do not run a hot or pulling blade over irritated skin.

Medical pause. Talk to a licensed medical professional for severe irritation, pain, bleeding, infection signs, sudden hair loss, blistering sunburn, or persistent scalp problems.
