A shiny scalp can be a common concern, especially for those with short hair and even for those who have undergone scalp micropigmentation (SMP). While little amount of shine is natural, excessive shine can detract from the overall appearance and realism of the scalp. Fortunately, there are several effective strategies to address this issue.
Let’s explore them below.
Understanding Scalp Shine
Shine is primarily caused by excessive oil production. This can be exacerbated by several factors, such as genetics, hormonal imbalances, and hair products. Additionally, individuals with short hair or those who have undergone SMP may notice a shiny scalp as the scalp still lacks hair to absorb and diffuse the oil.
While SMP does help reduce a shiny head problem, the shine does not go off easily.
Strategies to Reduce Scalp Shine
Choose the right shampoo and conditioner
Choose products designed for oily or combination hair. These products often contain ingredients that help regulate oil production.
Wash your hair less frequently
Over-washing can strip the scalp of natural oils, leading to increased oil production, which is a natural process. Aim to wash your hair every 2-3 days.
Go for a hair-healthy Diet
A balanced diet can help regulate hormone levels and reduce oil production. Avoid excessive intake of greasy or fried foods.
Stress management
Stress can contribute to increased oil production. Practice stress-reduction techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing.
Scalp Micropigmentation Aftercare
Adhere to the recommended aftercare guidelines provided by your SMP technician to ensure optimal healing and minimize shine.
Use a matte-finish product
Consider using a matte product designed for SMP to reduce shine and enhance the realism of the pigmentation.

Key Benefits of Zero Shine

What’s more, it not only mattifies but also moisturizes the scalp. Zero Shine contains natural ingredients that hydrates the scalp without adding shine or draining natural oils.
The best thing about this product is that it preserves SMP and maintains the integrity and appearance of your SMP procedure.
