A bald head can look clean and confident. While many men choose it with pride, others are forced to live with it. Yes, that’s a reality many are unwilling to accept.  For bald heads, you can still create the look of a defined hairline through scalp micropigmentation. That’s when confidence starts to return. But then enters the problem of scalp shine. Why Does Bald Head Shine? When you have hair, it absorbs oil naturally. Hair also breaks up light. It adds texture. Once the hair is gone, nothing absorbs that natural scalp oil. Nothing diffuses light. The result is a smooth...

 A shiny bald head gets noticed — and not always in the way you want.
