How do you get a closer shave?
Posted on June 2, 2008 at 9:39pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
I have (had?) dark hair and very light skin.
My AA patches are many and they are big, so I've taken to shaving my head, but I don't like the look of dark stubble in the places where I do have hair?
Are there tricks to getting a closer shave?
I tried nair once, but ended up with an icky rash, I guess my skin was too sensitive.
Help?

Frustrated

I've been recently (within the last 6 months) been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. What I find frustrating is that my bald patches are so big I've given up and have shaved off my hair, but I still get random stubble patches.
I feel like if I'm not going to have hair, I'd rather just stop getting these patches of hair/no hair. I want my head to make up it's mind. I feel like I'm in hair limbo.
*sigh*

Your head looks like my head... light skin, dark patches. If you find something that'll get a closer shave, please share! I too am in hair limbo.. and i'm trying to just be. Hang in there!
I hope your stubble problem has improved. After I shaved my head in January 08, it was only a few months before it was all gone and I didn't have to shave anymore. I understand how you feel...once I shaved, I just wanted it all to be gone (well, not my eyebrows and lashes, but they went, too.)
Best,
Mary
It's all so frustrating. Ugh.
I've had AA for nearly 30 years. I wrote a book for women -- it's a great book, just out! Called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!"
Take care...
