Title: Let it shine...
Post by: TV guy 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?

Post by: Cave Dweller on November 12, 2013, 09:53:25 PM: What irony. Like Mike, my scalp is very shiny naturally - and I would prefer it to be a matte finish.

You should have done, Slymyke.

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

For next time.

Post by: waine on November 19, 2013, 10:04:50 AM: Good Old (cheap) Aftershave -- But loaded with a bit more glycerine...

Then the shine fades off from late afternoon. But that is the dreaded shadow returning.

Can anyone else relate?
