Yeah, I've been giving my dome some sun but in small doses to avoid sunburn. It's taken about two months but it's color is finally close to matching my face and neck.
Hair is over rated.

I guess that is the only way, unless you use a moisturiser with a hint of tan in it, like a gradual summer tan in a bottle. I personally wouldn't use that. I'm quite white anyway so I don't really suffer with that problem. Take it easy if you do go in the sun though!

I am bald by choice and my hair is black. I have learned to accept that no matter what I do, there will always be shadow. What is important is the awesome feeling of smoothness after shaving.

I must admit, after three months I still find the whole shadow thing a bit of a challenge.  I do not like it at all.  That is why I shave every day and why I am back to morning shaves as this prevents the shadow as far as possible.  I also find myself spending a lot of time in the winter sun to try and get the even skin tone.

It seems unfortunately the shadow is just a something us sly guys have to learn to deal with. I work out doors so I tend to get my beanie off and soak up the winter sun just like Waine. I don't think I have enough hair at the front to create an obvious shadow, so it doesn't bother me too much, another thing is to shave it every day as Waine said, that will help knock down the shadow too if you get a nice close ATG shave.

I stopped noticing the shadow after a while.  It could be that what hair I would have is now grey so the shadow is less obvious.
Getting out in the sun helps.  Definitely apply sunscreen.  You do not want to get a burnt scalp, and if you do you do not want to be shaving it.

I don't care about "the shadow" I am balding and I am not shaving my head to hide that fact- I am shaving my head because it is liberating (healthier than counting dead hairs on the pillow)-I am balding so what -even though i suffer from three letter diagnosis (i refuse that three letter defines me ) I have my ups and downs every day  but I don't think that I would be any happier with full head of hair ....

I still have shadow, although less now that my hair is graying.  I look at it as a badge of honor for choosing to be a bald man.

for making the skin blend, sun and patience. For getting rid of the shadow, short of tweezing or getting like laser hair removal or something there's nothing you can really do about it.

It's Always A Done Deal Everytime I Shave My Head. I Just Wanna Run Outside In The Hot Sun & Start Playing Basketball. Sometimes I Tend To Notice My Hairline. Lol  O0
