May 11, 2018 at 11:30 comment added Failed Scientist I have seen many people who keep washing their head as well but still have "shiny" head. It doesn't explain it fully I am afraid.

Jul 7, 2016 at 6:57 comment added Eleftheria Chatziargyriou Some do. Their bodies either doesn't produce enough sebum or they want a more "shiny" look. A slight shiness is natural in any bald head though.
