Product Help..!??
« on: July 16, 2010, 07:31:56 PM »
Hey peps

I shaved my head for the third time today, im happier with the look than i have been before and plan on keeping it this way now for 30days (fingers crossed)
Im lucky that my scalp has a resonable tan already from wearing a number 1 buzz and more recently a 0.5.
I also have no bald areas as such, just a fair bit of thinning on top so i carry a full shadow when freshly shaved..
But summer won't be around much longer so im looking to get hold of a moisturiser with tanning qualities (a light/medium tan is fine)
Im also wanting to go down the 'matte finish' road rather than the shiny dome, any tips on a product worth buying to get this result?
Finally im not loving that my head feels kinda sticky almost, my flatmate suggested a powder to make it less sticky/more smooth. Any advice on a product i can use?

Thanks in advance!

Aaah, forgot to mention im also hoping to get my hands on a suitable acne prevention cream or something similar for my scalp. not that it has become a problem... yet!
Im based in England so any advice from those in the U.K. is particulary helpful!

Can't help you on the tanning creme.  But as for the Matte finish, you might try Headblade or Matte for Men.  they have a Matte aftershave lotion.  As for acne prevention, I recommend St. Ives Apricot Scrub and rinse with cold water.  Many on here use Witch hazel or Sea Breeze.  I'm sure Saintc can weigh in on this.  He's the Guru on this subject.

Though I'm a huge fan of my HeadBlade and HeadSlick I do NOT like the HeadLube. It's very thick and greasy to me.
I prefer Nivea Extreme Post Shave Balm.

I'm with Mike on the HeadLube... but I use Bald Guyz Moisture Gel.   O0]
