tanning the head

[bald_is_gold]

Hi all,

This is my first post although I have been reading this forum for over a year now and would like to start of by commending you all for contributing to this wonderful site.

The reason why I created this thread is because I am specifically curious to find out whether self-tanning sprays and lotions such as st tropez and sun labs tanning sprays can be applied to the bald head?Would they have any adverse effects on the hair as I have shaven bald by choice and have a good amount of hair underneath.(not that I intend to grow them but just worried whether they may go away or whether I may face any other side effcts by using self tanning lotions or sprays on the bald head? Anyone have any sort of experience using them?  Many thanks for all your help in advance.

dont see where they would effect your hair.  If it did, i guess those who use self tanning lotions would not have eyebrows, men wouldnt have arm , chest or leg hair as well.  Just use a good sunscreen and enjoy summer.  Use caution though because it doesnt take very long for the sun to have a bad effect on the noggin.

True that ... I've done the Mystic tan route with great results. It didn't affect my hair, but if you don't use the protective lotion, you end up with wacky looking feet and hands. Haven't tried any of the rub on ones ...

My wife uses one by Jergens that she abslutely loves. She's tried and tried to get me interested but I'm just not that concerned. I figure I shaved my head to "stand out" so if no one likes it, that's fine, if they don't like my white head on my white body, too bad!!
