Do you often wonder why your scalp looks so shiny after shaving or hair loss? Well, the answer lies in natural oil production. Your scalp produces sebum every day.

This microscopic texture prevents excessive head shine and creates depth.  A shiny scalp immediately signals to others that something looks artificial or unnatural.
