The Best Products for Bald Men in 2024

Because head care is just as important as hair care.

Bald heads require exquisite care. A gorgeous, glistening dome (or a power donut) demand requires constant upkeep and, frankly, a lot of thought. This year, SPY is highlighting products that protect and serve a very particular, very important stretch of skin. After all, baldness isn’t about what isn’t there, but what is. That ought to be a beautiful, brunelleschian dome that serves as a monument to self-confidence and conscious self-care.

Come for the bald head shavers. Stay for the creams and SPFs. Get that routine in place and lean in on it.

This daily moisturizer doesn’t just pack an impressive SPF 50 sunscreen (essential given that the top of the head is a prime spot for skin cancer), it is fragrance-free to guard against irritation and contains moisturizing ingredients for daily comfort. Grey Daily gets that the scalp can be sensitive and has formulated something special here. Just ignore the fact that it says “Face Protect” on the bottle. Or use it that way too. But it feels all kind of right up top.

If anyone knows what’s best for baldies it’s Queer Eye’s Karamo Brown, whose MANTL range is specifically tailored for guys who are bald, proud, and shaving to the skin. No surprise, then, that this specially formulated sunscreen is the ultimate pate protector. 

The standout element here is the no-shine formula. No white streaks. No shine. The goal is not to look like a Porsche Carrera, it’s to look like you might drive one. For headshavers, this is a summer vacation essential.

A great piece for keeping your scalp smooth, this clever waterproof head shaver features five flexible shaving heads that hug the contours of your scalp for a smoother, closer, faster shave that takes the minimum number of passes.

BEST BALD HEAD RAZOR

There’s a reason HeadBlade’s beautifully designed Moto Headshaver Razor is as popular as it is: design. This thing is an ergonomically designed wonder that is revolutionizing the way men shave their heads, thanks to a finger ring grip and car-inspired blade suspension. The result is a safer, smoother (and frankly much more fun) head shave, with maximum maneuverability and minimum fuss. No more screwing around behind the ears. No more missed patches. Pure results.

A nourishing scrub, specially designed for dry and sensitive scalps, this scalp polisher is ideal for removing dry skin. Unlike some scrubs, which can be harsh and drying, this one contains agave juice and aloe vera to soothe dry scalps after the natural jojoba beads that slough off dead skin (or feel like they do anyway). For those with oilier scalps, Christophe Robin’s Sea Salt Scrub is also worth a look. The brand understands how to care for bald men.
