Do bald people purposely make their heads shiny?

r/

Like do they wax it or something because I am randomly remembering the time my orchestra in 6th grade had a concert and the teachers head looked slightly more shiny than it usually did idk

    Yeah there is wax for that. But I don’t know anyone who uses it.

    Sweat glistens, and since there’s no hair, it’s much more noticeable. You’d look the same with thinning spots.

    They polish it, just like you would a stone! But you need to be careful you don’t take off too much skin.

    Bald scalps still produce skin oils.

    I think so. There is no way a persons head naturally shines bright like a diamond.

    Maybe natural oils?

    Shaving exfoliates. I also use this aloe:

    Overhead lights — they’d need powder not to shine.

    I had a teacher that I caught polishing their head once.
    He said there’s bald, and then there’s bald with attention and care.
    ( He said that about everything. “Remember there’s tests, and there’s tests with attention and care!” a.k.a put your name in the top right and make sure you have something in every blank )

    No. The shine is from oil naturally produced glands adjacent to hair follicles. Also sweat. Also shaving exfoliates which make skin look smoother.

    Normally the oil excretion from the scalp is made to moisturize the hair. When you don’t have hair, it collects on top. It’s the sign of a healthy scalp.

    Also. The skin on top is a lot thinner than the rest of the body.
