Woman have forgone the salon for the barbershop these days, There are so many inspirational and stunning women of colour who have answered the call to bald, below are some fundamental tips to compliment your bold decision!
First tip: Smile! Stomach in, chest out! Confidence from within will shine through more than any highlight!
Foundation:
You don’t always have to keep it simple, you can go from nudes to Smokey eyes but the base is the most important area to get right.
Find a foundation that best suits your face AND neck , because of the many beauty products we use that eventually lighten our skin, as a black girl you’ll most likely have to get a foundation a shade darker than your actually face shade in order for you face and neck to match.
However some foundations oxidize once they have settled onto your skin so if your neck is only just one shade darker you could very well chose your face shade and by the time you’ve moved onto the next step like eyes (depending on your order) your foundation will have changed to the colour of your neck.
Once you have found the right shade, blend your hair line with your make up so there isn’t such a distinct divide between your face and head.
Also: yes we are brown however our browns have different shades from yellow, orange, red, green or purple so make sure you ask for assistance when choosing a foundation shade so another pair of eyes can tell if the undertone of the foundation matches your skin tone.
Highlight: Your T – zone, cheekbones, chin and if you’re wearing a strapless top or top that shows off your chest, highlight your collar bone as well, trust me the sun will love it!
Don’t forget your shaved head
BEFORE applying make-up, Shampoo and conditioner your bald head: The tiny hairs on your need care too because oils and dirt build up on a bald head too, moisturize with a non- greasy cream with SPF!
