Hi guys, how about sharing some of your secrets on the products that produce a great glossy dome, is there a better product than headblade glossy, share please :@`
-
HeadLube Glossy + a few drops of Hot Six Oil :@`
-
Headlube glossy is all I've heard of, I actually did a search on Google and everything that came up was about Headlube. I guess if you have a perfect product there is no competition lol .P
-
Cheers guys,thanks for the comments, i would like to know what the hot six oil is, i live in the uk and have never heard of it, is it a shaving product :@`
-
I'd never heard of Hot Six Oil either, here is what I found-
http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/african-royale-hot-six--hair-oil/ID=prod11697-product
I knew there had to be atleast one other product that adds shine so I spent awhile looking and I found one more product and a bunch of techniques that should help.
Bald Head Shine- http://www.baldheadshine.com/
Techniques
Use moisturizer
Use aloe vera
Use baby oil
Use a light hold aerosol hairspray
Use a light exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and other products on the scalp that might be building up.
I hope some of this stuff helps you out buddy :P

I really like my head to shine. Glossy, or what every you want to call it. Smooth, and shiny. About any oil, if you don't mind an oil, will do that. I'm not one to try to get rid of oil on my head, it makes it shine, so ok bi me. Mineral Oil works, Baby oil smells, and is costly, and is nothing more than mineral oil with J and J smell. Go head buy it, Makes the stock go higher. ::) Any light oil will do it.
A thread earlier said that they were too old to have acne. I think an oil will add to that problem, if that, is (at my age) a problem. I get a zit, pimple, or what ever you want to call it, at m age I just :@`

I've been using Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel. Not only does it give a glaring shine that a lot of people have commented on, but it relieves any irritation as well. And keeping it in the fridge before using REALLY soothes any shaving irritation.

I've tried all the above techniques, except the aerosol spray. I just gave it a try.
After applying some aloe vera gel from the fridge and giving it a few minutes to dry, I gave my head a light spray with the aerosol, waited an additional minute or two and used a terry cloth buff. Wow, what an amazing shine.

I found some Vitamin E oil at the health food store. It comes in a little bottle with an eyedropper. A single drop rubbed into a freshly shaved head followed by a splash of witch hazel is the best shine recipe that I've encountered.

Thanks for the comments guys,i have tried banana boat aloe vera gel wich gives a nice satin shine,i always use nivia extreme after shave balm as soon as i have finished shaving which gives a nice shine[ i shave at night in the shower] so the gloss is realy for the next morning, when i apply a moisturiser, i have used bold guys moisturising gel which is a top product. Have just started using headlube glossy but i dont think it gives a real glossy finnish its more satin,i saw some vitamin e oil in a local health store at the weekend so may give that a try, will post the results. once again guys thanks for the comments they were most helpful. :@` :@` :@`

No problem buddy, were all here to help each other out. I'm probably wrong, but wouldn't what ever product you put on your head before you go to bed just rub off on your pillow?
-
sorry mate , i dont apply it just before bed, i shower and shave early in the evening and the balm is totaly absorbed before bedtime :@` :@` :@`

Posted this elsewhere a day or so ago, but Coppertone Ultra Sweatproof Sport Sunsceen (50 spf) does it for me. Apply before heading outside for a non-greasy ultra-shine and a mega-dose of UVA/UVB protection.
-
I've gotta try some of these things mentioned here.
I do love a good shine, and I've tried HeadLube (glossy) before, but I really didn't like the greasy feeling it left on my noggin, so I didn't try anything else after that. It could have been because I have naturally oily skin.... who knows?
Maybe one of these other methods will work better for me. Thanks for the tips, gentlemen! O0

Nice shine their ozzie, that is one hell of a fine looking dome, that is dazzaling, is that the coppertone. :@` :@`

I'm about 20 minutes into my first ever use of this stuff, but Jojoba Oil might work. It's supposed to be great for the health of skin, and since oily scalps tend to shin the best then I would think applying this oil would help increase your shine.
It's a plant-based oil but apparently it's extremely close to the oil naturally found produced by the skin. Its application is also supposed to cause a reduction in your natural oil production because your skin realizes it does not need to produce as much. It's supposed to get absorbed into the skin and hair fairly well too.
I bought it to make my goatee easier to manage since I'm keeping it longer than I normally do, but I decided to apply it to the rest of my head because of the other benefits I read about.

Tried some 'Boots Baby Oil Gel ' with Aloe Vera & Vitamin E today.
Head looks and feels like glass.
"Shining like a Nashville guitar", Paul Simon.
Only downside is that it feels sticky/ greasy.
Look but don't touch. ;)

After a good shower when I have shaved my head, I have used some fruit of the earth aloe vera gel which really sooths the head. I have also used some headblade glossy lube followed by some baby oil gel which really gives it a good shine. I rub it in a bit to get away from the oily feeling. A couple of minutes with a hair dryer really helps take away the oily feeling. It also feels good especially when I am heading out into the cold weather.
Happy Valentines Day everyone.

Just started using Headlube glossy. Still use a bit of aloe vera gel first - nice and soothing, then the Headlube glossy. Great result. Real good shine and feels nice and smooth. Love it. Lots of compliments from the ladies. Great boost for a 76-year-old guy !

Seahawk:
You look a lot younger than 76. You are proof that my older headshaving friend (he's 77) is telling the truth. He told me that shaving my head would make me look 15 years younger. So I shaved my head. I'm not sure if I look 48 again, but you could easily pass for 60.

Thanks Jimbo. Certainly don't feel old. Pretty fit - lots of outdoor activities. Sailing season starts soon - then I'm out on my boat most weeks. Going to need some good sun protection for when I'm not wearing a hat. Had lost a lot of hair - went sly a few weeks ago and shaved of what was left. Great feeling. O0

That's what I'm talking about!! ;D

I've had good results with both the Fruit of teh Earth Aloe Vera and the Headlube Glossy.
I think the Headlube Glossy is shinner but you do get that sticky feeling.
