Exploring the Impact of SMP on Your Hair
Following your SMP session at New Man SMP, your natural hair’s patterns and textures may influence your preferred styling choices. Our experienced practitioners understand the dynamics of how SMP interacts with your existing hair and provide invaluable recommendations for post-treatment maintenance. Here are essential styling tips to help you seamlessly blend your hair and SMP:
Choosing the Right Hair Length
While many clients opt for a short buzz-cut style post-SMP, allowing some natural hair growth over the treated area can lend authenticity. However, uneven hair growth might result in a patchy appearance. Your SMP practitioner will guide you on the optimal hair length to ensure a harmonious blend between your natural hair and the SMP-treated area.
Mastering Shaving Techniques
For those with minimal natural hair or complete baldness, maintaining a close shave is crucial for a harmonious look with the SMP. New Man SMP recommends shaving 2-3 times weekly, and our experts will demonstrate the precise technique for a smooth shave:
- Thoroughly disinfect your shaving tools and remove any residual hair.
- Gently pull the scalp to tighten the skin. Glide the blade flush against the skin, running the clipper against the grain for a close shave.
- Maintain an even shave across your entire scalp, ensuring all existing hair is well-groomed.
Recommended Shaving Tools
If you’re new to head shaving, our practitioners at New Man SMP can recommend suitable tools tailored to your needs. Three highly recommended shavers are:
- Andi’s T-Outliner
- Wahl Foil Shaver
- SkullShaver
These shavers provide a polished buzz cut, or you can explore wet shavers as an alternative.
SMP and Hair Growth
During SMP treatment at New Man SMP, the pigment is carefully deposited approximately 2 mm into the scalp, while hair follicles typically lie around 4 mm deep. The meticulous process ensures minimal contact between the needle and hair follicles, preserving natural hair growth. Following treatment, your hair should continue growing undisturbed.
