Should you use shampoo on your bald head? Yes! Shampoo and conditioner don’t just take care of hair. They also cleanse and nourish the scalp. If your head is peeling, flaking, itchy, or oily, the best shampoos for bald heads will help fix the problem. Happily, there are many different products you can use. Today, I’ll go through the top options for bald head maintenance. Why it’s better to use shampoo instead of soap on your bald head Regular soap removes grime and grease, but it’s drying to the skin. Even if you want to reduce oiliness, shampoo is a better choice (1). A good compromise is to try an all-in-one shampoo and shower gel. The idea is to cleanse and hydrate your scalp to keep it healthy. Even face wash is better than using soap on your head.
