Title: Sharps Mission Control Bald Head Balm
Post by: hipstersaint on July 24, 2007, 09:33:09 PM

 So Naturally, I was interested in this, since it is a product specifically for us baldies....
     the tub is not all that big, though the design is very cool...didn't we all want to be astronauts when we were kids?
     anyhow, the product itself if very light and not at all greasy or watery. it seems to make my scalp smooth without being overly shiny, and best of all it has no scent and has an spf factor to it, which as we all know is important. though if you're going to be outside for more than a few minutes, I would recommend  a higher SPF... this is just for short exposures of sun.
     it is a bit pricey compared to, say HeadLube, which I also really like as a moisterizer.  Overall I give it 3 out of 4 stars.

I'll post my review up here since Hipster already started a topic on the Bald Head Balm.

I recently received a package from Sharps asking me to review their Bald Head Balm and I jumped at the chance to.  As many of you know, I'm a big fan of sunscreen and products that have SPF.  I'm even a bigger fan of moisturizers that contain SPF.

The Bald Head Balm by Sharps is very light when applied to the skin.  I really liked that aspect of it.  It also provides a medium shine relative to other moisturizers that provide a glossy look.  And the best part, it has an SPF of 15!!  It's a bit pricey at $24, but it seems like one puck will last a long time. If you're interested in trying it out, Sharps has provided SBG with a 20% discount through Sept. 7th, 2007. 

Here are the details on the discount:

The simple fact that it has a picture of John Glenn in his Project Mercury garb on the lid makes me a fan already. >_<
