Title: For those craving the mega-watt shine....
Post by: FrankR on August 19, 2012, 02:12:52 PM: Hey folks,

I absolutely LOVE having a super glossy shine to my dome. So I'm always on the lookout for products to enhance the shine. Earlier in the summer, I was stopping by an urban barbershop near home to have the facial hair lined up. Well, on one of my trips there, I noticed that a guy had just gotten a fresh headshave. As the barber was putting on the finishing touches I noticed that he sprayed the guy's now bald pate with something that looked like hairspray. The guy's head immediately shone like a beacon. As it turns out, it wasn't hairspray at all. It was a shine and conditioning spray. Basically, this stuff contains an oil base (either olive oil or almond oil) and it's meant to condition and add shine to hair but it does just the same for the scalp. I've since picked up some of this stuff and started using it. It gives the scalp a nice, soft feel while adding a great shine to it.

Just though I'd share for those that are looking for a similar product. :)

Frank

This is the one I'm using now. This one smells good too.

I actually found the spray I'm using at a WalMart. Try looking in the ethnic haircare section.

Post by: Sir Harry on August 19, 2012, 05:23:09 PM: Thanks for the info, Frank!...To add on, if you can find this in WalMart, I'm willing to bet you can find this in most beauty supply stores (e.g. Sally's Beauty Supply)

Post by: Laser Man on August 19, 2012, 08:17:29 PM: Last summer, I had my head shaved at an urban barbershop near where I work and the barber finished off with the olive oil spray and a gentle buff. The shine was incredible. I've seen the olive oil spray at Harmon Drugs / Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Post by: valldo on August 20, 2012, 03:27:49 PM: Try using your kitchen olive oil, just a few drops will do the work. I have used it for shaving, and even after rinsing it off the dome was shiny as hell. It really doesn't work for me, specially in summer, as I tend to sweat a lot, but it might be a think to try for you...just a thought

Post by: Laser Man on August 20, 2012, 03:30:06 PM: Careful with the kitchen olive oil! We had a thread last summer where a guy was using extra virgin olive oil and ended up smelling like a Greek salad. I think SaintC warned that extra virgin olive oil is the most fragrant - and most common in the kitchen. :)

Post by: valldo on August 20, 2012, 03:38:53 PM: Virging Extra Olive Oil is what it is...a totally natural product where the oil is mechanically extracted from fresh olives in a cold process 'cold pressed'. No ingredients are added, so the scent is also what it is, natural. You may like or dislike it, but you know you are splashing something very close to absolutely natural on your dome.
BTW, I prefer the Greek over the Ceasars Salad

Post by: clarinetguy on August 21, 2012, 09:44:03 PM: I will give it a try since I too want maximum shine. That said, I find Headlube Glossy sure adds some shine and mosturizing.

Post by: Slynito on August 22, 2012, 01:13:48 PM: When I apply SPF 30 or higher it shines my dome very good.

Post by: baldjoeg on August 23, 2012, 08:05:21 AM: FrankR and Valldo,

Thnanks for the tips. I like a good shine on my dome also. It helps with the dry skin problem as well.

Post by: gardner179 on January 05, 2013, 04:33:22 PM: try using dr organics double strenth aloe vera gell, blinding shine, best product by far O0 O0 O0

Post by: jimbo48 on January 06, 2013, 10:07:46 AM: Try using Fruit of the Earth brand clear aloe vera gel. It gives a bright non-greasy shine that lasts all day. It costs less than $5 at Walmart.

Post by: clarinetguy on January 18, 2013, 08:35:16 PM: Cold water and Headlube Glossy continue to deliver a great shine. Hats in winter ,however, take a little of it off.
