Guys It is getting warmer out now in AR and the sun is out more. I never really took sunscreen serious for me head because I started shaving it in the winter. I have tried HeadShade and thought it was ok. I noticed some freckles appearing on my head and dont want to get anymore. What exactly do yall use?

I really like Bald Guyz Sunscreen Gel... not greasy and SPF 30+.

I have the Bald Guyz sunscreen for the noggin'.
I also picked up a Banana Boat lotion called "Sun Wear Faces". Both have an spf of 30, and UVA/UVB protection. I will let you know what I think when I use it (Banana Boat).
I don't like a greasy feel so I'm hoping it lives up to the ultra sheer, clean feel it advertises on the tube. -

Hey XNY, I also use Banana Boat. I love the Sport Performance Dri-Blok SPF 30. Nice scent, works well, and not greasy.

I use the Target brand...of 30-50 spf...
at this point i just don't want any freckling to mess up the perfect slick dome
.....
but alas.....I have some freckling due to stupid youth and my desire to have a skinned, really nicely tanned head way back in the early days...
if I had known i would have settled for a shiny white perfect, non- flawed dome instead of a few weeks of a real dark tanned melon!
a short lived tan is NOT worth it bros! -

I just got back from the Dominican and I brought both HeadShade and Banana Boat 30. I really liked the Banana Boat, plus it's a 30 where HeadShade was only a 15.

Coppertone Sport works for me. It comes in 15, 30 and 50 SPF. I use the 50 SPF. Nongreasy and blocks both UVA and UVB rays. It came with a smaller travel size attached...good to keep in the car, golf bag or travel kit.

This is the Sunblock that I use.
Dont if it is available or sold in the USA. Very cheap at only $7.00. I reapply every 3 hours if I am outside in the sun for an extended period of time.
It also gives a nice shine. -

Banana Boat SPF 30 Ultra Sunblock works great for me. I too have freckles -- don't know quite when I got them, but I think it was before I went sly.

I will fall guilty to this. I learned this past weekend...DONT TAKE ANY CHANCES. I was hanging vinyl siding and decided I would go 1 day ..just 1 day without any sunscreen. Cause I have the white winter cap on my head from this past winter which sucked butt. Anyways...come sunday I was feeling the burn a little on my head. Most of the day sunday I wore a hat cause I didnt have any sunscreen in the house and I went and bought some on monday. Well today is Wednesday and I get up to get in the shower and my head looks like freakin Winter Wonder Land...you guessed it...peeling. I didnt burn that much...just a little tender.
So what I am saying here bro's...dont take the chance. IT is very very IMPORTANT that you wear sunscreen no matter how bad you want that nice bronze look on your noggin. I dont think anyone can stress it enough on how important it is. Here it isnt even summer yet....and we are already dealing with it. Take care of that noggin...
Timmay!

I agree Tim. I was out a few weeks back doing the yardwork, (lawn etc. ).
As you know the sun is relentless out here, but I figured it was early, so I skipped the sunscreen. Not a good idea, and I found out later I did have a burn. Not too bad, but definitely a bit uncomfortable. And then a few days later comes the peeling, which as some of you may already know makes shaving a little rougher, with all the dead skin being picked up by the blades. Makes for a more time consuming and sloppier shave.
So, make sure you apply that sunscreen to the domes fella's!, for the health of your scalp, now and down the road. -

I've been using an Aveeno brand for a few years now that's always worked good. Not greasy, good SPF, and being Aveeno you know it isn't going to clog pores. But I have been thinking of trying the Bald Guyz brand out. I've heard good things about it and I've used their other products in the past.

Likewise, the Coppertone for me. I use the travel bottle when I'm out in the kayak. What I like best about it is it doesn't run down into my eyes when wet either from sweat or water splashes on the river. -

The weather finally got sunny here today and I went to the console of my car to get my sunscreen to keep my dome protected. I realized that I was almost out so I made a quick trip to Wally World.
Looking at everything they had, I saw that Banana Boat has a new product that is a spray and it said on the label that is was made for the scalp. First time I have seen anything like that, unless it came from Bald Guyz. I checked their website and couldn't find it listed or even a pic. Has anyone else ran into this stuff?
