Shiny or not.
« on: March 05, 2007, 10:47:44 PM »
After spending a lot of time reading your posts, I'm finding that most of you prefer a shiny nugget.  I do not, however I have a naturally shiny dome.  Has anyone found a product that cuts down on the reflectivity lof one's head?

The Matte For Men lotion and the HeadLube Matte both cut down on shine.  I like using those if I know it's going to be a pretty hot day and I'm going to have a natural shine later one.

It was somewhere on a topic several months back somebody suggested pre-dusting a hankie with baby powder.  Sounds smart to me, just I never remember to it :(  I use headlube matte and I likey a lot. :)

I love it shiny. I use headblade gloss on my head. What does everyone else use to buff the scalp to get that nice shine?

Hey Everybody...

While I am shiny most of the time, its never really been a huge issue for me.  My 'Thing' has always been how smooth it is.  It helped me get my wife... and keep her for over 10 years.   O0

Peace...

Hey Socrates, Welcome to the forum, but I suspect that your confidence in yourself also played a big part in getting your wife.

Dude, I definatly agree with you guys, headlube Matte ROCKS!  I am not a fan of the shiny dome in general, my latino Heat is all that I want radiating off me, not reflected rays from the sun!  O:O

Definitely shiny for me!  I use the Headlube glossy and I just love it.  My dome is starting to tan nicely now and I spend as much time outside as I can at work since the weather is warming up.  I do use the Baldguyz wipes on my dome in the afternoon to keep it clean and then a little more headlube.

Shiny is as Shiny does...   ;)  Headlube Glossy for me   O0  I like to get it all shined up to that the glare reduces the noticeability of the dreaded shadow.

That's an interesting thought.  I'll have to try the glossy.  Believe it or not I haven't bought ANY HeadBlade stuff yet.
