HOW TO STOP BALD HEAD SHINE

[@RoRockerB]

I have a full head of hair and decided to bald my head after my mother passed away. I didn't think I would like the look. I don't... I freaking love it. And I love that it shines! So, yeah... It's a double win! Thank you mom... I love you

Well if you have a full head of hair so your not experiencing the shine that bald people are experiencing.

[@Uppernorwood976]

Your last piece of advice is the best. If your worry about shine, once you fix that they’ll be something else you’ll start worrying about. Everyone has flaws, no one is perfect. Just go with what you’ve got and don’t get hung up on what others think!

Zero Shine by DermiMatch is the best one I've found. And I've tried 5 different ones that claimed to be matte, but we're just lotion.

[@arashpatel4057]

Nah, just get Zero Shine, and the SPF version too. YOu're covered!

[@beardedbaldie2698]

When you have a oily scalp like mine, the shine is very unflattering and greasy looking. Definitely prefer the matte finish!

[@Nickersons-Theme]

Same man, it does my head in (no pun intended) hahah. I've tried a few different things, best thing that as worked is talk powder, but it doesn't last all day so what can ya do!

[@beardedbaldie2698]

Nickersons Theme I might try talc actually, though I reckon it only looks good on a freshly shaved head. A day or so of stubble and it would look like dandruff haha. But still, better a shiny scalp than the greasy hair I had back then!!

[@Iloveskulls4326]

My head is naturally oily so I have the shine anyway. I like the shine personally and I love being bald, I believe that's called a double WIN!

[@natusMCMII]

Im fairly new to the bald community (bald since about 1 1/2 months now) and I normally don’t have oily skin, but my scalp is super oily since I shaved it, even when I use high quality anti-oil exfoliating products from expensive brands like Clinique, my head starts oiling up again after just a few hours or so after using the product. I hope your advanced tips will help me out, great video!

[@rishaddcruz2048]

Easy tip: Use talcum powder. The Jhonson & Jhonson baby powder works well. Use any moisturiser and then apply a small amount of powder and it will matte your head. Simple and cheap.

[@craigstratford5086]

Been using the Headblade Matte for almost a year and can strongly recommend it . Tones down the shine and feels good .

[@k50159]

Much appreciated

[@4SakN1]

These are some great tips, but honestly the best thing to do is just rinse off your head 2-3 times a day and remove that excess oil. Once you shave your head bald, the sebaceous glands in your scalp keep producing oil, but have nowhere for the oils to go so it just sits on your skin. A nice cool rinse removes it all and leaves you matte and comfortable.

[@Baldcafe]

Thanks for the tips 👍

[@JohnjOcampo]

Awsome tip, do you recommend rinsing it with cold or warm water?

[@4SakN1]

@@JohnjOcampo Cool is best, warm stimulates more oil production.

[@robelvery]

Some great advice here. Don't like the shiny look. Already use oil control moisturisers on my head but find it still too shiny. Will definitely give the powder a go and possibly one of the other products. Great channel. Thanks again.

[@garrettduell]

Try Zero Shine 2.0. It blows everything else out of the water.

[@VastDivide]

I actually like the shiny look. To me it looks squeaky clean and polished. I used to use head lube glossy to shine my head but now I just leave the dome alone to naturally shiny.

[@bill4786]

What about a product that stops the shine but also gives a tiny of color (for those of us who have a slight tan due to being in the sun often)? Any suggestions from the group?

[@raytupper1]

I prefer matte head. Best product by far is Peter Thomas Roth Head blade stuff made my head “more” shiny !!

[@Baldcafe]

raytupper1 A lot of Peter Thomas Roth fans. That name though..... very private school 😆

[@lweil662]

I use dove bar soap. I just wet the soap with small amount of water and rub it on my head and keep rubbing it until I achieve the desired matte look. It works perfect for me.

[@toddchamberlain782]

Just tried this...yep, it works great. Thanks man.

[@pk19791]

Do you rinse your head afterwards?

[@Alexander0189]

I've tried loads of things but what seems to work the best is a womens primer gel/cream they use before applying makeup 😂 my gf suggested trying with hers and it works great! After I've shaved and had a shower I apply some of it to my head and it gets rid of the shine pretty much completely and it lasts hours. I have had SMP done and it works well with that as well.

[@PONOVO1000]

I also wanna try primer but I wonder what will happen if I sweat during hot summer days? Will it be visible or if I tap my scalp with paper will it stay on it?

[@Alexander0189]

@@PONOVO1000 well the primer I use is like a white gel almost and it basically just goes on clear so it's not like makeup when you touch it, it won't leave colour in your hands or anything. I use Rimmel Fix and Protect it's called, white tube with a blue lid, try it and see :)

Great advice. I've shaved my head a while ago and I went through most of what you described in the video. A couple of days after the shave, my head started to get ridiculously shiny, and it got worse as the first strings of hair begin to appear. And it also accentuated the balding spots on my head in a way that I haven't noticed before. After that experience I've stopped shaving and I was waiting to do it again when I have no choice anymore (I am not completely bald yet, just the "crown" on the top of my head). But after these tips, I'm looking forward to give it another try. Thanks a lot!

[@christinemarrone6336]

Have you tried Zero Shine, by DermiMatch?

[@JamesGraydon]

Embrace the shine and use it as a weapon against those you secretly dislike!

[@garrett6064]

Left to my own devices I would say just leave it the way it is. If your paranoid then hit the head and dab it (dont rub) with one of those blue paper grease towels from a gas station. I work a lot under very bright lighting and the camera burns out shiney spots. In the past they often used a makeup with spf in it. Now that I'll be footing the bill myself that stuff is too expensive. I bought a regular sun tan lotion and the baby powder. My skin is so pale it works on it, but if you're more tan then you may have to do whole face and neck down below the collar. And dont try to wing it with an electric shave. Get it down to the skin with a good blade.

[@roverboy4244]

I started losing my hair three years ago. I used to get upset about it but learnt to live with it as nobody made a big deal about it.

Hey, I know this channel is mainly for being comfortable with your hair loss which is amazing but would you be interested in trying detumescence therapy for few minutes daily? I think it’s essential for a healthy scalp which got rid of dandruff, itch and oiliness for me. I do it to prevent baldness naturally and my scalp got looser, my father is bald and his scalp is hard and immobile. I think DHT is not the main cause but it’s leading to calcification/fibrosis on scalp pushing the hair follicles away from capilleries. I have mad respect for your channel and it’s amazing you can own baldness but it would be cool if you could try and report the effects.

I have my SMP done recently. I'm naturally shiny due to been oily. I found Zero Shine 2.0 pretty good and you can buy it online in the UK now. Bit expensive but good. It's got good ingredients so healthy for head and even face with spf also. Only down side is you've got to use make up remover wipes or pads to take it off. Saying that it's waterproof and lasts all day. So could be a good thing. I try different products and im giving HeadBlade mattifying head cream ago. Just had my 3rd and last session with SMP so can't try it for a good few days till it's completely healed. Best thing I did wad getting the scalp Micropigmentation done by EVOKE in Sheffield. I look younger and have more confidence and im not hiding behind a cap. Looks real with the detail of the tattooed hair follicles even up close. If you wanna see it I'm putting a Google review up on EVOKE and I'll have pictures to go with it.

That didn't help plus I was wearing my hat constantly. Never being confident with a bald head really. Although my wife didn't mind but I did. Having the SMP done has definitely helped for me personally. Gave me a hairline and got more density now. Everyone is different on this subject as you know. The SMP has sort of gave me more shape on my face so head doesn't look as big if that makes sense. Love your videos, even bought a 3 blade leaf shaver. Great product.
