redheaded and pale: how much harder is it to be bald for us?

(1/4) > >>

theboss:
i have (or had) red hair and have quite pale skin, so my question is: how much will it stink to be bald (which i will be completely in a few years)? i am worried that i won't be able to live in super sunny climates like LA or Miami, and that I will always have to wear hats when I go out in the sun. i already have had some bad sun burns on my head, such as 1 time when i was in the sun for an hour or 2 and got bad zits all over the top of my forehead (i still have some hair that protects the top of my head). thanks for the help!

I'm in the same boat.  You just need to be diligent about applying sunscreen and wearing a hat outdoors in the sun.   You learn to adjust.  It may "stink", but that's the reality of what we need to deal with.  What alternative is there?  Even if you have a full head of hair, you still need to be careful about sun exposure, especially if you are fair-skinned.

Hey Boss, welcome to Sly Bald Guys!  Like RaxorX said, you just have to be diligent about using sunscreen, but then again, all of us should.  I think with you having red hair will be better for you in not having to deal with a dark "shadow" that a lot of us with dark hair get.

Excellent point, Tyler.  Why didn't I think to mention that?   B@n%

From a veteran ex red head to the newbie. STAY OUT the damn sun Bela Lugosi !!!!  It's like that movie where the Vampires wear sunscreen like it's spackle to go out in the daylight. SPF 5000!!!! You could just wear a hat, but then your head wouldn't match your crispy lobster body.
