Nairaland / General / How To Be A Good Listener by ValourDigest(m): 7:59am On Mar 25, 2021
You might not know this already, but being a good listener goes beyond just staring at your speaker and watching him or her talk. It involves a number of other activities and verbal/nonverbal cues that help to assure your speaker that they have your attention.

Being a good listener is just as important to communication as talking itself. In this article, we’ll be giving you a couple of tips to help you become a great listener, whether it’s at work or at home.

Listen with your whole body

There are certain things that you do with your body when you are listening, and you’re interested in the conversation. They include leaning in towards the person if you’re sitting at a table. Alongside that, you should also nod when you agree and use hand gestures to show you’re following the conversation. Not only is it polite, but it is also reassuring.

Family / How To Encourage Your Child's Individuality by ValourDigest(m): 11:07am On Mar 24, 2021
Your child’s individuality is the part of their personality that stands them out. It is what makes them unique. It is a combination of their interests, experiences, talents, understanding of the world, and virtually everything else. In essence, it is what makes them themselves.

This individuality is something that you really cannot afford to toy with because it is what will help your child to have a level of mental independence later in life such that s/he can make valuable decisions. So, how exactly do you encourage your child’s individuality? Let’s see.

Support them more than anyone

Realistically speaking, you don’t know how much everyone else is supporting them. So, you really can’t tell when you’re supporting them more than anyone. But, the main point we’re trying to pass across here is that you should support your child as much as possible. When they achieve anything new or create something, make them feel happy about it. That way, they’ll realize their ideas are good enough and won’t be inclined to just copy someone else’s.

Nairaland / General / How To Overcome Laziness In Six Practical Steps by ValourDigest(m): 8:44am On Mar 23, 2021
Sometimes, a lazy day is just what you need. Especially when you’ve spent the entire week working yourself to the bone, you need to relax a little bit. But, what happens when that lazy day becomes a lazy week? Or a lazy month? Or a lazy year? Yeah, we don’t think it’s pleasant either. That’s why you need to learn how to overcome laziness.

If you don’t overcome laziness in its early stages, you might end up remaining that way forever, never really being able to do or achieve much. So, how do you overcome laziness? Let’s find out, folks!

Use your strengths to make up for your weaknesses

Sometimes, the only reason you’re reluctant to do something is that you feel like you don’t have the capacity to do it. For example, a student who is bad at mathematics will avoid reading the subjects at all costs. If you’re that type of person, you can use the strengths you have to make up for your weak points. For example, you can use your strength in other subjects or courses to boost your overall grades.

Nairaland / General / How To Deal With Impostor Syndrome by ValourDigest(m): 2:37pm On Mar 22, 2021
Impostor syndrome is that feeling deep within you that makes you believe that you’re inadequate. It usually comes along after you’ve spent so much time and effort trying to achieve something. When you eventually get there, you’ll hear a voice telling you that you merely got lucky and you’re not worthy of what you got.

By all means, impostor syndrome is a bad thing as it tends to make light of your efforts, thus, discouraging you from making more efforts. As such, it is important that you deal with it if you don’t want it to affect your success. In this article, we’ll be sharing a few tips to help you do just that.

Understand the signs

You can’t handle the problem when you don’t know the signs that indicate that it’s there. So, first try to understand the signs of Impostor syndrome. It could come in any number of ways, including:

- Feeling lucky instead of genuinely happy about the effort you put in.
- Being unable to accept praise even though you deserve it.
- Being unable to confidently state what you can do because you’re afraid you’re lying.
- Constantly apologizing even when you haven’t done anything wrong.
- Underselling yourself at every turn.

Knowing these signs will definitely help you to cure the larger problem.

Pets / Why You Should Consider Getting A Pet by ValourDigest(m): 12:07pm On Mar 21, 2021
In many African homes, we don’t really see the importance of getting a pet. Even if we do, we mostly just get dogs, keep them outside and use them as security animals to scare away anybody who has any particularly unsavoury thoughts towards us. 

But, what if we told you that these little furry creatures could do more than provide a bit of security? What if we told you that they’re great companions and they’re even good for your health too? Would you believe us and consider getting a pet, or would you need to be shown first? The latter? Alright then. Let’s look at five reasons you should consider getting a pet in your life.

They can help to improve your mental health

Of course, you can’t have a conversation with them. At the very least, you might talk to them and get stares, but they can’t respond to you in the way that normal humans do. But, these pets can still help to provide a bit of support for your health.

They can do this by being your companion. Your dog, for example, is and will always be there for you. Apart from going out with you every once in a while, they’ll always be around you to keep loneliness at bay. Alongside that, they give you the responsibility of caring for them, which is a healthy distraction from the things that bother you. Finally, they’re incredibly cute!

Nairaland / General / Top Five Signs You're A Highly Sensitive Person by ValourDigest(m): 7:45am On Mar 20, 2021
Being a highly sensitive person isn’t particularly strange. As a matter of fact, hundreds of thousands of people around the world are incredibly sensitive to a vast number of things. While it isn’t necessarily bad, it isn’t particularly good either.

On the bright side, a highly sensitive person can easily detect when emotions are amiss in a car, among other places. On the dark side, however, they can also get very upset by the slightest things and lose their cool. So, are you a highly sensitive person? Let’s find out.

Violence affects you a lot

Usually, most people don’t like to see violence portrayed on screen or even in real life. However, they’ll often get over it and watch the movie anyway, especially if someone else is there with them. However, as a highly sensitive person, you might be incredibly disturbed by violence, no matter who is there with you. For some people, it's so bad that it gives them sleepless nights.

Romance / How To Improve Your Texting Game by ValourDigest(m): 9:55am On Mar 19, 2021
Especially when you’re living a bit of a distance from the girl you like, texting is one of the best ways for you to reach out to her. It allows you to have lighthearted conversations while getting to know each other better without necessarily digging too deep into your personal details. Even if you do choose to get a bit closer, you can do it via text too. But you can’t get anywhere with her if you don’t improve your texting game.

Of course, you think that you don’t need to improve your texting game with her right now because everything seems peachy. Trust us, it’s not, and you might need more work than you think you do. Here are a few tips to help you in that direction.

Open the conversation reasonably and originally

We must admit, some of the pickup lines of the internet are pretty funny. Their wordplay is usually good enough to squeeze a few laughs out of you. But not all girls like these pick up lines because they seem rather unoriginal. So, if you’re starting, be simple, reasonable and original.

Romance / How To Cope With Emotional Blackmail In A Relationship by ValourDigest(m): 8:08am On Mar 18, 2021
In your relationship, have you ever noticed that the other person is always trying to make you feel bad for one thing or the other? Have you also noticed that even when you mean no harm in your actions, they sometimes blow things out of proportion and start making you look like the bad person? Does it seem like you’re constantly walking on eggshells, and you always have to apologize? If so, you’re in a textbook case of emotional blackmail.

It means that your partner is constantly turning your emotions around on you and making you choose between one thing or the other. Usually, it involves having you choose between them and something else you want to do.

We can't force you to leave a relationship that you've been committed to for several years. But, we can tell you how to handle emotional blackmail in a relationship.

Be honest with yourself

The first thing you need to do is to take a long hard look at the situation and try to determine what’s happening. Are you making excuses for the individual or are you actually in a relationship of emotional blackmail? If they keep making it seem like things are your fault and you have to be sorry all the time, the chances are that you’re being emotionally blackmailed.

Family / How To Help Your Child Through Depression by ValourDigest(m): 12:22pm On Mar 17, 2021
Depression is a mental illness that robs us of our ability to experience the beauty and joys of the world. It makes us sadder and sadder over time until we can hardly remember the times when we were truly happy. If it happens to your child, you need to help your child through depression. 

This is because it could last a lifetime, and the longer it lasts, the worse it becomes. But you can’t exactly help your child through depression without taking any reasonable steps in that direction. So, here’s how to help pull your kid out of depression, or at least support them through it.

Get them help from a professional

No matter how much you want to help them, there’s little you can do unless you’re a professional. So, get your child help from a professional psychologist/therapist/psychiatrist. They’ll be in the best position to diagnose the situation and take a step by step process to solving the problem.

Career / How To Stop Being Such A Workaholic by ValourDigest(m): 8:57am On Mar 16, 2021
In every office, there’s always that one person that’s hyperproductive. They’re hell-bent on getting things done, and they’ll never really let anything distract them from their primary goal. These kinds of people will spend several hours working and reporting. While their bosses usually love them, the truth is that a person like this is a workaholic.

It might equal more productivity, but ultimately, being a workaholic is bad for your health socially and physically. So, how do you stop being such a workaholic?

Set a strict schedule for yourself

You can’t aim to stop working when you shouldn’t be if there’s no schedule in the first place. Whatever schedule you set is what will distinguish your working hours from your resting hours. So, create one for yourself and make a conscious effort to stick to it. That’s basically the major way you’re going to stop being a workaholic.

Career / How To Add More Structure To Your Business As. A Self-employed Person by ValourDigest(m): 10:58am On Mar 15, 2021
Being a self-employed person is a great way to make money. It allows you to work for different clients at different points in time. What’s more is that you can choose how much money you want each client to pay you. If you’re confident in your skills and you’re truly valuable, this means that you can make a whole lot of money.

But, if you’re working from home as a self-employed person, there are certain things you’ll have to deal with. More often than not, some customers will make certain decisions and numerous demands that just wouldn’t sit right with you. During those times, you have to be very firm about certain things. The list is extensive, and it is largely dependent on your field. But, here are three major things you just have to be firm about if you want to add structure to your business:

Be firm about your pay

Please, don’t confuse firmness with being too rigid. Being too rigid can put you at a disadvantage in more ways than one. For starters, you’ll not be able to get any more than a specific set of clients. Alongside that, you’ll limit the amount of money you can make. So, no, you shouldn’t be rigid. You should be as flexible as is reasonable and even try negotiating.

But, and this is where it gets serious, set a bar for yourself. If you normally charge a thousand and you decide you won’t go less than eight hundred, be firm. If you continue making compromises, you’ll continue putting yourself at an earning disadvantage. Eventually, it will become hard to even increase your price because the customer will think you’re just being unreasonable and trying to cheat them. So, set a payment standard for yourself and don't go below that too easily.

Health / Health Benefits Of Eating Cucumbers by ValourDigest(m): 9:01am On Mar 14, 2021
Next to eggplants and peaches, the cucumber is one food that has many innuendos attached to it. But, what if we told you cucumbers much more uses and advantages besides being the subject of jokes in a conversation? Mind-blowing, isn’t it?

On a more serious note now. Cucumbers are foods that are packed with nutrients and water. Ordinarily, some people think that it’s a vegetable. But, science proves otherwise. 

Nevertheless, beyond eating it as a snack, adding this fruit to your daily meals is a great way to boost your health. From its antioxidants to the significant amount of water it has stored within its fibres, this fruit has much to offer your body. So, what are the health benefits of eating cucumbers?

It promotes hydration

Right next to watermelons, it is virtually impossible for us to talk about cucumbers without mentioning the sheer amount of water it has stored inside. Did you even know that if you cut up this fruit and lay the cut side on a surface, it will drip water from the cut to form a small puddle? That’s a testament to the amount of water in this plant. With that much water present in it, eating cucumbers helps to improve your hydration levels.

Romance / Interesting Date Ideas For Every Nigerian Couple by ValourDigest(m): 8:48am On Mar 13, 2021
If you’re an introvert in Nigeria, it can be a bit hard to come up with date ideas. This is primarily because you don’t go out, and you hardly have any exposure regarding where the best spots are. Don’t worry too much about it, though. Even the most extroverted people don’t always know where to go because there’s a (financial) limit to how much they can explore at a time. 

Thankfully, just because you can’t think of any good date ideas doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. That’s why we’ve compiled this list for you. It’s not very long, but it’ll definitely help you decide what to do with your free weekend with bae.

See a 3D movie

Most of the time, when you go to the cinema, you’ll enjoy the (overpriced) popcorn, the (freezing) AC, and a huge screen to watch your movies on. The average guy rarely gives himself the extra treatment of seeing the movie in 3D, and that’s a whole different experience. So, you can both pick out a movie you would like to see together and then watch it in 3D. It'll blow you away!

Education / How To Avoid Going Broke As An Undergrad by ValourDigest(m): 3:35pm On Mar 12, 2021
It took several months of staying at home and pleading with ASUU. However, now, we can look back at those times and feel proud of how far we’ve come along. Now that all that is over, you still need to deal with the challenges that come with school, such as going broke as an undergrad. 

From your handouts to your textbooks and assignments, there are a lot of things that consume your money. Even if you're taking online classes, you still need to be wary of data costs, among other things. The worst thing you can do to yourself is to set yourself on the path to going broke as an undergrad by indulging in multiple unnecessary activities. So, how can you avoid going broke as an undergrad? Let’s find out.

Get a job

It can be hard to juggle school with a job. But, depending on how badly you need to avoid going broke as an undergrad, you need to get one. The best part is that the internet is chock full of job opportunities. As long as you have a valuable skill, you can even get a remote job, which is significantly easier to maintain than a physical one.

Health / How To Look Younger On A Budget by ValourDigest(m): 10:37am On Mar 11, 2021
Let’s take a quick walk down memory lane, shall we? Think back to your younger days, before you started getting worried about how you can look younger. 

Do you remember how you really wanted to grow a few strands of facial hair just to look more mature? Do you remember that you once wanted to grow huge muscles just to look older and bigger? If so, think about yourself now. Do you have the same wishes?

Like most other men, you probably don’t. Right after secondary school, life shows you that there’s more to worry about than looking older and that you’ll get older eventually. Now, you seem to be aging at the speed of light, and you just need to look younger again. Not to worry, though. If you’re trying to look younger, we’ve got you covered.

Exercise regularly

Apart from the health benefits of exercise, this simple activity shaves a few years off your life. If you can exercise your way past your belly and your flabby arms, your skin will tighten up. This will significantly reduce the wrinkles on your body, and you’ll look much younger in no time.

Nairaland / General / How To Set Goals For Yourself Properly by ValourDigest(m): 9:23am On Mar 10, 2021
More often than not, people confuse the act of setting goals with making resolutions. We’ll admit that they’re a bit similar considering that they both involve things that you intend to do in a year. However, the truth is that setting goals is a much more practical way to get to the destination you’re interested in getting in. That’s why we’ll be looking at the proper way to set goals for yourself.

Having read the topic, your mind is probably racing with questions as to what the proper way to set goals for yourself is. To answer that, we’ll say that it involves a series of actionable steps and processes. Don’t worry, though. The proper way to set goals for yourself isn’t particularly long, and it is something you can get done in as little time as possible. Here’s how you do it:

1. Set SMART goals

As you can probably tell from the use of uppercase letters, SMART is an acronym. It stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. This is everything that your goals should be. Otherwise, the chances are that you might be wasting your precious time.

2. Write it down

Someone once said that those who write down their goals instantly place themselves ahead of the 97% of the population. This is clearly dependent on different factors, but the truth remains that if you set goals for yourself and write them down, you’ll be setting yourself up for success. Why? Because you’ll be constantly reminded of these goals such that you’ll always work hard to achieve them regardless of the circumstances.

Nairaland / General / How To Be Kinder To Yourself by ValourDigest(m): 3:01pm On Mar 09, 2021
There are a group of people in the world known as overachievers. These individuals are particularly bent on getting things done. They are often hyper-productive and hyper-successful. Unfortunately, due to their very nature, they know very little about the concept of being kinder to yourself.

It’s possible that you are among these people. You don’t have to own all the money in the world, but it’s still possible that you hardly ever cut yourself some slack, and you’re always trying to get things done. This is admirable, but sometimes, you really need to be kinder to yourself. Here’s how:

Create time for yourself

Working all day and all night might be a great way to make money, depending on how much money you’re making. But it’s a horrible way to become kinder to yourself. Besides, this is an incredibly unhealthy way to live your life. So, by all means, create some time for yourself. During that period, make sure that you do what you love the most.

Career / How To Know That You Might Be Working Too Much by ValourDigest(m): 11:01am On Mar 08, 2021
As unlikely as it seems, we actually understand you and why you might be stretching yourself excessively. You had and still have a lot of responsibilities on your plate that you cannot afford to take lightly. As such, you began working too much just so you could cater to your needs and everyone else’s without being a disappointment.

We have to commend your resilience. You are a man of valour. But, you should know that working too much is going to do you more harm than good, especially health-wise. But, how do you know that you’re working too much? Let’s see.

Increased alcohol intake

It’s really no new information that people often turn to bottles of spirits to ease their stress and help them relax in particularly unsettling times. If you notice that you’re drinking more alcohol than you normally would allow yourself all the time, you might be working too much. This is especially so if the alcohol usually comes when you get back from work.

Reduced productivity

Whether you choose to admit it or not, the truth is that your productivity level is somewhat tied to how much rest you get. Scientifically speaking, your brain becomes less capable of intelligent work the longer it stays awake. So, if you’re noticing that you can’t get things done no matter how much you try, you might’ve worked your brain too hard, and it needs a break.

Nairaland / General / How To Deal With Intrusive Thoughts by ValourDigest(m): 11:05am On Mar 07, 2021
This is an incredibly strange question to ask. But have you ever been doing something perfectly normal when, all of a sudden, you get the thought to do something gut-wrenchingly violent? Sometimes, it could be as bad as intentionally running over a dog on the road or hurting a baby. These thoughts are known as intrusive thoughts.

The good news is that you’re not the only one who has had Intrusive thoughts before. In fact, they happen to everyone. The better news is that these thoughts don’t mean that you’re a bad person deep down. Regardless, however, Intrusive thoughts can still be quite distressing. So, here’s how to deal with them:

Identify them as what they are – Intrusive

For you to move on from this moment, you have to agree that these thoughts are nothing but Intrusive thoughts. They randomly pop into your mind like uninvited guests, and they take charge of the place. So, do not internalize them as a part of your personality. Do not accept that they're a reflection of your deepest desires or anything of that sort. Doing so might give you the impression that you're a monster. You're not. You just have intrusive thoughts.

Romance / 5 Reasons You Shouldn't Give Up On Love Just Yet by ValourDigest(m): 11:46am On Mar 06, 2021
The search for love is quite an adventure for most men. You’ll go on interesting dates with beautiful women. You’ll get to talk to new people, and you seem to be smiling at your phone every night. However, as you grow older without a stable relationship, you might start thinking it’s time to give up on love.

This could be for a number of reasons ranging from heartbreak to difficulty finding a romantic partner. But you really shouldn’t give up on love just yet. Here’s why:

Love has many lessons to teach you

We see how you can misinterpret this, but we really don’t mean this in a bad way. Love can teach you how to be more patient. It can teach you to understand and tolerate someone who doesn’t share your cultural or emotional background. It can let you know when you’re toxic and when you need to be more assertive. You shouldn’t give up on love because love still has a lot of life lessons to put into you.

You can use this period for growth

Instead of taking the drastic step to give up on love, you can use this transitioning period to grow and become better. You can learn how to cook. You can start working towards getting your apartment. You can learn how to communicate your feelings. There’s so much you can do besides giving up on love now.

Nairaland / General / Quick Hacks For Managing Your Internet Costs In A Virtualized World by ValourDigest(m): 8:39am On Mar 04, 2021
If there’s anything that the last couple of months have taught us, it’s that our world is becoming increasingly virtualized. Now, more than ever, we’re relying on the internet to go to school, work, church, and virtually everything else in between. On the bright side, this virtualized world means we don’t have to worry about missing a thing.

On the dark side, however, we could rack up some fairly serious internet costs. This is especially true in Nigeria, where internet subscription costs are pretty high compared to other parts of the world.

For this reason, you must learn how to manage your internet costs in a virtualized world. This applies to you, whether you’re a student or a working-class individual. In this article, we’ll show you just how you can do it.

Have an internet budget and try to stick with it

Consider your budget as a plan or goal. In the same way that working without a goal can leave you unable to achieve anything real, browsing without a budget can leave you surfing the web without actually controlling your data usage. In the end, all you’ll have left is a data balance that’s much too low, far too early in the month.

So, in this period, it is incredibly important that you create your budget. Then, do everything within your power to ensure that you stick with it. That way, you’ll know just how much you’re spending on your internet subscription each month or as is convenient.

Business / 5 Negative Traits Taking Away Your Hard-earned Cash by ValourDigest(m): 9:02am On Mar 03, 2021
As a bachelor who is still trying to find his feet or a man who has to take care of his family, it is important for you to move aside from anything that might be taking away your hard-earned cash. The problem, however, is that you really cannot fight an enemy you don’t know. It’s not possible for you to move away from these habits if you don’t know which ones they are.

That’s where we come in. As you can probably imagine, we’ll be using this article to help you see the top five bad habits that are taking away your hard-earned cash. They are:

Making your savings account too accessible

Your savings account is where you’re supposed to be keeping your emergency money to make sure that you don’t spend it unnecessarily. Unless you specifically put it there just for the sake of it, it’s really not wise for you to constantly spend money from there. But, if your account is easy to access with an ATM card or a banking app that allows you to get money anytime you want, that’s definitely a bad habit.

Career / Four Things To Remember In An Elevator Pitch by ValourDigest(m): 10:02am On Mar 02, 2021
An elevator pitch is a term used to refer to a sales pitch of sorts that you make with an important person in a matter of moments that you have to spend with them. More often than not, it happens inside an elevator, where you coincidentally happen to be with them. Before they get to the floor they’re going to in seconds, you have to convince them that you have an idea that’s truly worth listening to.

It can be pretty easy to mess up an elevator pitch considering how little time you have to give it and the anxiety you might feel while talking to them. But, if you can prepare beforehand, you should be able to pull it off quite nicely and that’s the entire point of today’s article.

Things to Remember for Your Next Elevator Pitch
Don’t waste time, show them what you can do

Whether you’re representing an individual or a company, the last thing you want to do in an elevator pitch is to waste time on unnecessary chitchat. With more time on your hands, this is actually great for lightening the mood. However, in an elevator pitch, you don’t have the luxury of time. So, introduce yourself immediately and tell them what you can do.

Career / 5 Tips To Increase Your Productivity Even When You're Too Busy by ValourDigest(m): 9:42am On Mar 01, 2021
How many times have you actually tried to do something but failed to do it because you’re too busy? Don’t bother counting, chief. We imagine that you’ll exhaust your ten fingers if you do so. Not to worry, though. It’s not just you that this happens to. But, that doesn’t exactly mean it’s good either. If you’re too busy to do the things that will benefit you, the chances are that you might be engaged in a bit of self-sabotage. So, how do you get yourself on your feet even when you’re too busy? Well, let’s find out.

Allow your passion to be your driving force

If you truly love to do something, you should let it propel you to do even more of it. There have been athletes and business people who have reported getting up very early in the morning to practice their craft when the rest of the world was still sleeping.

Nairaland / General / Anger Management: Five Tips To Help You Control Your Anger by ValourDigest(m): 10:06am On Feb 28, 2021
Anger management can be defined as a series of activities that you engage in so that you can learn to tame those wild emotions that often cause you to do things that are particularly unsavoury. Usually, anger management is recommended for people who have a significant amount of difficulty keeping their anger in check.

If you are one of those people, you might need a few tips in that direction, too, because choosing to ignore it will do you more harm than good. That’s why we’ve compiled five expert tips to help you control your anger. Sit back, relax, and have a good read:

Think before you say something

When you’re angry, the chances are that you can’t exactly control what comes out of your mouth. On another side of the spectrum, it could be that the more you talk, the more irritated and angry you become. Especially for the latter, you must think about what you say before you say it. If your anger is the explosive kind, it is better to channel your efforts into not talking at all. But, if it is the kind that builds up over time, you should definitely weigh your words properly before you say them.

You have to agree with us that sometimes, you just need to relax and take care of yourself. This is especially so when you're on holiday, and you need something to do. One of the ways you can take care of yourself is by indulging in a few movie series.

We love watching series too. We've compiled a list of the top five series you'll like from our exploits in front of the screen. A quick heads up is that they're mostly fast-paced, action-packed series. So, there's really no getting bored here.

Game of Thrones

This show stopped running several months ago, but it's still an excellent way to pass your time. Based on a series of books, Game of Thrones explores people's constant thirst for power and their never-ending will to do whatever it takes to get it. With eight seasons' worth of content, there's no getting bored here. Just make sure you have the stomach for violence and keep it away from your children, as it can get a bit gory with adult themes.

Health / Tips For Taking Care Of Your Bald Head by ValourDigest(m): 1:54pm On Feb 26, 2021
Before, if you had a bald head, or even so much as a receding hairline, you'd get teased endlessly by your friends. However, things are quite different today as the bald head is coming back in style. In fact, if you can mix it with a little bit of facial hair, you'll be giving yourself bonus points.

But, just because there's no hair there or you don't exactly have to worry about shaping it into a style when shaving doesn't mean that you shouldn't take care of your bald head. The skin on your scalp can still get sunburned, have ingrown hairs, and even get shaving cuts. So, how do you care for your bald head?

Ensure that your blade is sharp

Whatever you're going to be using to shave your head, always make sure that it's sharp. This rule applies to every other material that is used for cutting. Sharp tools generally make it easier for you to get the hair off your head without much of a hassle. That way, you'll be less likely to bruise your scalp from running the shaving stick over it multiple times, trying to make the most of a blunt blade.
