Hello everyone first timer here, I've shaved my head for years already and I always get bumps on my head, I've tried everything and nothing works, I think it's because I naturally have curley hair. I've heard of waxing but that's got to hurt. Any suggestions. thanks in advance

Try this . . . a good shave is all about preparation . . .

Assuming your hair has already been taken down to 000 with clippers,
1) apply some pre-shave cream to your scalp (the best I've found is the lemon stuff at www.getluckytiger.com/osproducts.html
2) steam your scalp with some hot wet towels, let 'em sit for at 3 minutes, replacing 'em as they cool.
3) apply some good quality shaving cream (the best I've found is the brushless stuff at www.getluckytiger.com/osproducts.html
4) shave
5) apply some after-shave cream (like the disappearing or vanishing cream at www.getluckytiger.com/osproducts.html
6) apply a couple of wet steam towels, steam that stuff in, and let 'em sit for 2 minutes or so
7) apply a COLD towel to shrink up the scalp
. . . and that should do it.
I've experimented with a few dozen different types of shaving creams, and this Lucky Tiger stuff is the very best I've found. It's thick and creamy at the razor/skin-contact point, and you need to apply it sparingly or else it'll clog up your razor. But it's good. The only other stuff I found to work anywhere near as well is George W. Trumpler and Truffit & Hill, both imported from England, and both are 4 times as expensive. Ya, I'm a barber . . . I do this stuff all the time . . .

Anyway, if your hair is super-curly, and if you're gonna shave it, well, good shaving products and lots of wet heat will make life easier for ya.
