I've been using this moisturizer for a good couple of months now, and I find it's a little too greasy, especially if my head starts to sweat. I'm not overusing it or anything, I use a very small amount, maybe the size of a dime. As long as I'm not sweating, my head feels fine, but I do sweat easily, and once my head even starts to get the smallest amount of persperation, it just feels greasy. I'm looking for another moisturizer that absorbs better and keeps a nice dry feel. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I personally don't like HeadLube either... it does get to greasy!
I switched to the Bald Guyz Moisture Gel and haven't ever looked back!! Great stuff... non greasy and absorbs very quickly!
-
I haven't tried Headlube yet, can't find it in stores here.
I will echo Rob, try using Bald Guyz moisture gel, it goes on nice and smooth, absorbs quickly, and I've found it to have no greasy feel at all. Dries very quickly also.
I tend to have oily skin and I've had no problem with it. Use about a pea size dab, rub it in thoroughly and you're good to go.

My noggin gets oily and greasy even if I don't use HeadLube. Which was part of my dandruff problem when I still had fur on the melon. That's MY motivation to stay SLY
Oh, sorry.....anyway, doesn't matter if I use it or not.
-
I haven't experienced any problems with HeadLube Matte...well at least not until I start to sweat.
-
I don't use it currently, but I never found it greasy. I did find the Glossy version greasy, however.

Cuzzin-

Give it a try...

Yes, I found the Headlube Matte to make my head oily. My scalp has never been better since the last month that I stopped using anything on it except for water. Skin is clearer and the oily part is slowly going away. YES!!!! O0

I dont know why you all are making a big fuss over that stuff. What I use you can buy at any drug store...or the unforsaken Walmart( gawd I hate that place) Just pure aloe vera gel. it comes in like a 32 oz bottle...wiht a pump and I keep it in the fridge. It is also great on sunburns and stuff like that....and it only cost a whopping $2. I bought the baldguyz gel for about 4 bucks but I seem to like the generic aloe vera gel. Try it ..im sure you all will love it.

I found the Glossy was greasier than the Matte. Both HeadLubes tend to make my head start to sweat if I haven't let the noggin cool off after a shower.

Thats a really smart idea actually, keeping it in the fridge. I think I'm going to use my moisturizer in the fridge too, should make it a little extra "refreshing." The cold will help any irritation too.

Yep, I've got a tube of pure Aloe Vera gel in the fridge, too.
Nice call, TimmJ ... great minds think alike.

The Matte didn't make my head as oily as the glossy. That stuff really makes the head feel greasy after a while. Almost to the point where I feel dirty again. But yeah, the matte would do it a little too. That's why I've switched up to the Bald Guyz Moisture Gel. Actually, I've switched my whole routine up to include the whole Bald Guyz line of products. They freakin' rock. O0
-
I love the HB Matte Lube ... no problems here.
I'll give the Aloe gel a try though.
Also ... love the fridge idea. O0

Yep, yep. I do believe I remember that one a while back from paulie. He is the originator of that idea.

Glossy made my head greasy & matte made me break out... so I go with the cold rinse (ice cube rub down if I'm going out) and aloe vera
-
I use Headlube Glossy that was sent to me by my good friend,the Bald Rider,Paul.
I love the stuff. It gives a great shine and I dont find it greasy at all. Before that I was using a generic 30spf sunscreen/moisteuriser which gave an alrite shine.
And before that I used Almond Oil and Baby Oil which of course are horriblely greasy. I ruined a few of my collared shirts using the stuff.
-
I was able to finally pick up some Headlube Glossy at Walgreen's and I have been using it the last two days.
I find it works excellent, gives me just the right shine, and is not greasy at all for me (and I'm a greasy Italian, lol).
It could be you're using a bit too much, with this a little goes a long way.
That being said, I don't think the Matte would be greasy at all.
It really depends on your skin type, and it's possible some people may even have a reaction from certain ingredients.
Give the Bald Guyz moisture gel a shot, it's water based and is absorbed quicker. Very good stuff too.
-
I use a pea size dab of either, and it still makes my head greasy
-
I've switched up from the HeadLube Matte to the Bald Guys gel, and I'm definitely liking it better so far. It's not as greasy as the Matte was for me and it absorbs very nicely. I like the feel of my head better with the BG gel.
-
Good to hear the Bald Guyz gel is working better for you, cuzzin.
I started using that when I first shaved and it's a great product. I am currently using the Headlube glossy and I like that too. I will use both alternately each week or so.
