Let it shine...
« on: October 13, 2013, 12:05:59 PM »
I'm sure this has been discussed before but I really want the head to shine...gleam...reflect (etc). I've seen a few, mostly black, guys whose scalp is like glass and I'm jealous. Any sage advice?

Have you tried Headblade glossy headlube? I have used it and it works pretty well. I have also used a little baby oil gel which will make it gleam. You need to rub it in a bit  so it won't feel oily. I like a good shine on my noggin too.

TV Guy,i use the mixture discussed on a different thread here. Witch hazel, aloe, and a little tea tree oil, and it works great for me. See photo. Like you, I'm BBC, and it gives a nice shine and conditions the skin.

Absolutely. The older I get, the drier my skin gets especially after shaving the dome.

I just use a little Equate lottion (Walmart brand) and my head is pretty shiney.  Just lucky I guess  :)

What irony. Like Mike, my scalp is very shiny naturally - and I would prefer it to be a matte finish.

I took my son the get his hair cut on Monday, and one of the girls offered to buff my head.   I took it as a joke and laughed... but now I'm thinking I should have sat down in one of the chairs and let her start "buffin"...lol.

You should have done, Slymyke.

You get a head shave and a buff. Your son gets a haircut.

For next time.
