A bald scalp often looks shinier than most people expect. You step outside. The sun hits your head. Suddenly, you see a reflection in every window. This shine happens because there is no hair to absorb natural oils. Hair normally breaks up light and reduces reflection. Without it, oil sits directly on the skin. Light hits the smooth surface and bounces back. The result is glare. Why Does a Bald Scalp Shine So Much? Your scalp produces sebum that keeps your skin hydrated. When you have hair, those strands quietly absorb the oil. They also break up reflected light at...
