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
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!
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!
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!!
Shiny head is something people worry about? My former teacher was bald and his head was always shiny. No one thought about that. I don't think it matters to much guys.
I shaved my head because I wanted to be bald, I had plenty of hair, just liked the look. I like the shine, "Mr. Clean" as my athletes call me now, lol.
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.
I tried a bunch, and the stuff you suggest here doesn't last very long or looks like white dust on your head. I now only buy Zero Shine by DermiMatch, it lasts over 24 hours, waterproof. Everything I need.
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!
Harry thank you so much for covering this topic for this video, I definitely prefer the matte finish look, I used to obsess over going bald now I obsess over the shine on my head, thankfully with the good information you've given in the informative video I can decrease my obsessiveness a great degree
This really my daily life problem.. i used to go to cr and wash my head to get rid of oil but it isn't effective.. can you please suggest any product to use that I can buy here in the philippines
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
@@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 :)
I use baby oil after showering, let it absorb, pat it dry with the towel, and then use some powder. It's cheap and effective. My head is not shiny, and I don't spend a bunch of money on products I don't need.
Boogie Boogs That’s great to hear. I used to get depressed about how I’d look if I shaved it but it got to the point I had no choice. I actually think I look better now than I ever did with hair
I struggled to pull the trigger. Wish I would have done it earlier. I’m happy with the look and much more confident. I rarely even where hats anymore like I used to when I started losing my hair.
I get my chops busted from time to time bc after I shave I do have that shine. I have SMP too, but want that matte look. Def gonna look into these products
Thanks for this awesome video. I just found your video and subscribed immediately after watching it. I’m an SMP provider out here in South Korea; will definitely tell my clients to watch this video. Thanks!
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!
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.
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. I recently started a new job where I'm having the piss taken out of me multiple times daily and my insecurities are coming back. I definitely need to lose the shine.
I love my shiny skull. I use Weleda after shave balm and when I apply it, my skull becomes even smoother. Women love to touch it. It happens, they ask. me if they can touch my head.
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.
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.
The oeter thomas roth stuff is the best product I could find. Unfortunately they just stopped making it which is why I'm back on the search for something that works
Which one of the moisturisers with SPF offers a matt finish? Head Lube for example offers the Head Lube Moisturising Lotion Matte which doesn't have SPF, and the Headlube SPF50 Sun Cream Lotion which doesn't claim to offer a matt finish.
My scalp shines so bad I have to use the rest room like 3 to times a day at work just to damp with water and wipe with a hankey or a tissue, it is really embarrassing

Great video Harry! Did you have to deal with the harsh comments when you originally shaved it? I’m getting a lot from my family that I buzzed it short for more confidence 🙈
M Flem Hey man. Glad you liked the video. Didn’t get any harsh comments. A few what I call “non understansers” who said “oh you looked better with hair” “why did you do that” but I pretty much just said, I went bald so shaved it off so this is me now and that’s about the end of the conversation 😃 Gotta be confident in yourself and others will respond well to it. Best of luck man.

@@kinderbueno3295 both. There's more of us than you think, we are just better at hiding it because society makes us feel the pressure to. I just shaved my head, buzzed, but not bald and I fucking love it ha
@@sarahmcinnis234 I mean I saw women with a long forehead but I thought they were born like that. And I never saw a women who got a extremely Hair loss like a half bald. At men it has to be way more common because of a hormone in testosteron .
@@kinderbueno3295 it's definitely more acceptable for men to be losing their hair, but there are plenty of women who are too. Also hormone caused, or autoimmune. Look up female hairloss, all you will come across are "solutions" to hide it. Losing my hair has definitely made me empathize with all the men in my life who have too. It's not an easy thing.
@@kinderbueno3295 I saw a women yesterday at Walmart with thinning on her crown, she dyed strips of her hair gray to hide it I guess? But it was still noticeable
I agree, only insecure men worry about hair loss much less shine! I'm all about looking good and love my bald head. I was in the heat changing my woman's flat tire and she wiped my sweaty head and said "God you are sexy!"
Hello men. For your skinhead use the thayers witch hazel after head shave.is the magic.it astringent and clan skin.after applicad your after shave preferit! It very magic! By
Most of the skin on your body is covered with tiny hairs called vellus hairs. This gives your skin a slightly velvety, peach-fuzz look. With male pattern baldness, the hair follicles shrink and turn into skin cells, so there are no hairs at all - not even vellus hairs. But the scalp is particularly shiny because of the sebaceous glands. These secrete oil and are found all over our skin. Since the scalp has a lot more sebaceous glands, the oil that coats the skin provides a more uniform reflective surface (shiny bald head). I suffer from male pattern baldness in small areas of my head. The hair isn't completely gone, but sparse enough to where you can see the scalp. When I cut the rest of my hair down to near bald (military buzz cut), you can't tell there's natural hair loss in some areas. Everything looks normal except for that damn shine. Some men shave their heads and wipe oil on their bald scalps. I hate, hate, hate the shiny look. Some women claim to prefer shiny bald heads and calling it sexy. I guess if you're Vin Diesel but in truth, I believe these are women whose significant other is going bald and decided to cut it all off. So it's like, of course you're going to say you like shiny bald heads. Nevertheless, GENTLEMEN, I FOUND THE CURE. YES, I finally found the solution to eliminating not just a shiny bald head, but a shiny face as well. I have sensitive skin, so my fingers are always crossed whenever I'm about to try something new on my face. But forget what the commercials say about some other products. This is the "Real Deal Holyfield"!!! I purchased this product, used it, and it works. The results were everything short of literally growing my hair back. NO MORE BALD SHINY HEAD, OR FACE. What's more? It lasts as long as you leave it on. This stuff is a "God sent". The only drawback is that it doesn't come in a larger size. If this was my product I invented, and it's offered in the size that it is, all first orders would be free, because I know I would get repeat customers. Nothing else I ever tried worked for me, but this does. amzn.to/373xaoO
I'm completely fine with face shine, believe it or not that's what actually keeps you looking young. Dry skin makes you susceptible to wrinkles and sagging. Now the scalp is another matter. I can TOTALLY do without scalp shine that just screams, "Hey look everyone, I'm bald!"
I always use prime powder without colour from MAC (also on my oily nose lol), but babypowder is way cheaper so thanks for the tip! :-D I also like matte sunlotion for the face, but it's also an expensive product to use daily on such a lare area. Does the head lube (sounds so gross) stay matte all day? Because that tube actually looks the right size for covering an entire head for a few weeks.
Hi there I agree that the MAC powder is great. Head Lube stuff is rubbish in my opinion. Best thing I’ve found (and tried a lot) is Peter Thomas Roth 👍🏻
@@raytupper1 Then I won't be trying the head lube. Lube doesn't sound mattifying anyway haha. RoC Soleil-Protect Mattifying Fluid SPF30. It's 50ml for € 15,00 if I remember correctly. I used it alot on holiday on my face, but it also works great on your head. But the tube is kinda small and expensive for daily use.
Great to see some collaboration in the comments. Love that 👌 Seen a lot of mixed feelings about the head lube. I used it once but it really stung my head... so no idea about the long term look. I had to wipe it off. The baby power or the mattifier worked the best. 👌
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!

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

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.
Nah, just get Zero Shine, and the SPF version too. YOu're covered!
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!
When you have a oily scalp like mine, the shine is very unflattering and greasy looking. Definitely prefer the matte finish!

Momma said your future will be bright. But I think your head is brighter than my future
Up your game man. We all need futures as bright as this head.
how to moisturise the bald scalp? Its dry and flaky how can you deal with that ?
Hello men! I don t like shine head ? Now i use Gillette fusion proglide flexball manual! Very good! I like shine head!
Daniele Rubado That’s awesome man
@@Baldcafe Think. The same with you.excusmi for my english.your video is very important and interessant! The girl prefer baldgays! The baldgays is plus interessant and intraprendent.my girlfriend like head very smooth! You baldcafe is plus interessant bald .
Since i hate the smell of baby powder do you think would be okay just a normal body powder? 😮
Just use Zero Shine by DermiMatch. It's the only one that mattes
Why haven't you demoed Zero Shine yet?
What about FPS daily? its very important even on those cloudy days. I use sunscreen every day since 2016 on my face religiously!
I was wondering if Bulldog Oil Control Moisturizer would actually help ? Its one of the more affordable products I've found that's about half the price of Clinique and Lab Series in Singapore.. Has anyone tried it ?
I just seen a video on how to keep ur head shinny..best to keep the shine to a minimum
Very helpful. I appreciate your work. please provide the link of the products you have mentioned in this video so that I can buy and try those
You look great but i think you haven't reached your maximum potential yet.
If curious will you be interested in checking out my channel?
Oh you are right I was meant to do that. I will edit the description and add the products very soon sorry about that.
I now use blue Stilton cheese on my head much cheaper!
Great video Harry! Did you have to deal with the harsh comments when you originally shaved it? I’m getting a lot from my family that I buzzed it short for more confidence 🙈
M Flem Hey man. Glad you liked the video. Didn’t get any harsh comments. A few what I call “non understansers” who said “oh you looked better with hair” “why did you do that” but I pretty much just said, I went bald so shaved it off so this is me now and that’s about the end of the conversation 😃 Gotta be confident in yourself and others will respond well to it. Best of luck man.

To hell with them fella 👍👍👍
For smp, you need a mate finish without alcool or any ingredients that could affect the smp pigments !!! thats really important. if you have any good suggestions !
Zero Shine, by DermiMatch is the best I've found for my clients.
I copied the description whether you want it up here or not I don't know LOL but I get nothing just trying to help HeadDry - Shine Reducer Matte Product (1 Ounce, Green)
Yooo!!! Man! I’ve been bald for 5 years and just now seen this shit lmao... WELL thanks! Ima try this!!
Thanks so much. Very informative
Another good informative video. I’ve heard that hairspray gives a matte finish to skin, has anyone tried it?
I'd imagine it would be a bit sticky.
Don't forget about the beautiful women out there who are losing their hair too.
Never saw a women who got the hairline very far back. You mean thinning?
@@kinderbueno3295 both. There's more of us than you think, we are just better at hiding it because society makes us feel the pressure to. I just shaved my head, buzzed, but not bald and I fucking love it ha
@@sarahmcinnis234 I mean I saw women with a long forehead but I thought they were born like that. And I never saw a women who got a extremely Hair loss like a half bald. At men it has to be way more common because of a hormone in testosteron .
@@kinderbueno3295 it's definitely more acceptable for men to be losing their hair, but there are plenty of women who are too. Also hormone caused, or autoimmune. Look up female hairloss, all you will come across are "solutions" to hide it. Losing my hair has definitely made me empathize with all the men in my life who have too. It's not an easy thing.
@@kinderbueno3295 I saw a women yesterday at Walmart with thinning on her crown, she dyed strips of her hair gray to hide it I guess? But it was still noticeable
I agree, only insecure men worry about hair loss much less shine! I'm all about looking good and love my bald head. I was in the heat changing my woman's flat tire and she wiped my sweaty head and said "God you are sexy!"
I prefer matt
It seems to be the most popular look.
Hello men. For your skinhead use the thayers witch hazel after head shave.is the magic.it astringent and clan skin.after applicad your after shave preferit! It very magic! By
Thank you! Witch Hazel has been suggested a few times. Added to the list! Thanks

I think just me is enough for me my guy 🤝
@@Baldcafe ♥️ 🤝
Thanks brother. A much needed video.
My pleasure! glad you liked the video.
It depends what light your stood underneath what brings out the shine
Most of the skin on your body is covered with tiny hairs called vellus hairs. This gives your skin a slightly velvety, peach-fuzz look. With male pattern baldness, the hair follicles shrink and turn into skin cells, so there are no hairs at all - not even vellus hairs. But the scalp is particularly shiny because of the sebaceous glands. These secrete oil and are found all over our skin. Since the scalp has a lot more sebaceous glands, the oil that coats the skin provides a more uniform reflective surface (shiny bald head).
I suffer from male pattern baldness in small areas of my head. The hair isn't completely gone, but sparse enough to where you can see the scalp. When I cut the rest of my hair down to near bald (military buzz cut), you can't tell there's natural hair loss in some areas. Everything looks normal except for that damn shine. Some men shave their heads and wipe oil on their bald scalps. I hate, hate, hate the shiny look. Some women claim to prefer shiny bald heads and calling it sexy. I guess if you're Vin Diesel but in truth, I believe these are women whose significant other is going bald and decided to cut it all off. So it's like, of course you're going to say you like shiny bald heads.
Nevertheless, GENTLEMEN, I FOUND THE CURE. YES, I finally found the solution to eliminating not just a shiny bald head, but a shiny face as well. I have sensitive skin, so my fingers are always crossed whenever I'm about to try something new on my face. But forget what the commercials say about some other products. This is the "Real Deal Holyfield"!!!
I purchased this product, used it, and it works. The results were everything short of literally growing my hair back. NO MORE BALD SHINY HEAD, OR FACE. What's more? It lasts as long as you leave it on. This stuff is a "God sent". The only drawback is that it doesn't come in a larger size. If this was my product I invented, and it's offered in the size that it is, all first orders would be free, because I know I would get repeat customers. Nothing else I ever tried worked for me, but this does.

I'm completely fine with face shine, believe it or not that's what actually keeps you looking young. Dry skin makes you susceptible to wrinkles and sagging. Now the scalp is another matter. I can TOTALLY do without scalp shine that just screams, "Hey look everyone, I'm bald!"
Unfortunately, these only help if the lighting isn’t too harsh. Once you get under harsh lighting, it’s like you never put anything on.
Zero Shine, by DermiMatch, has worked best for my clients. Even out in the sun.
Nivea cream?
I always use prime powder without colour from MAC (also on my oily nose lol), but babypowder is way cheaper so thanks for the tip! :-D I also like matte sunlotion for the face, but it's also an expensive product to use daily on such a lare area. Does the head lube (sounds so gross) stay matte all day? Because that tube actually looks the right size for covering an entire head for a few weeks.
Hi there
I agree that the MAC powder is great. Head Lube stuff is rubbish in my opinion. Best thing I’ve found (and tried a lot) is Peter Thomas Roth 👍🏻
what matte sun lotion do you use?
@@raytupper1 Then I won't be trying the head lube. Lube doesn't sound mattifying anyway haha. RoC Soleil-Protect Mattifying Fluid SPF30. It's 50ml for € 15,00 if I remember correctly. I used it alot on holiday on my face, but it also works great on your head. But the tube is kinda small and expensive for daily use.
Great to see some collaboration in the comments. Love that 👌 Seen a lot of mixed feelings about the head lube. I used it once but it really stung my head... so no idea about the long term look. I had to wipe it off. The baby power or the mattifier worked the best. 👌
I thought the Baldcafe was all about embracing the bald head and the shine that comes with it? Now I'm confused.
This is a video to help guys who want a matt finish achieve that look. Similarly I have a video on how to get the shiny look.
@@Baldcafe oh I understand now.
everyone dont like the shine..
Todd K shut up please
Its about embracing bald heads, he never said anything about the shine so stop it. You're confused because you wanna be
