Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > How To Protect Your Bald Head
do you trust sunscreen? does it prevent "pain"?
SBG Math Guy:
A simple yes or no to either or both questions would be good.
Ok I remember last summer I had not shaved yet and I have to tell you guys that my scalp would hurt when
I went outside. I didn't apply sunscreen because I had hair on my head.
Will sunscreen on a bald head eliminate that pain I got from exposure to sun? The pain came because I had thin hair. Back as a teenager I had really thick hair and I went out in the sun 6 hours a day no problem.
My other question is, do you trust sunscreen will take care of your bald head? I am a little afraid of getting skin cancer or something.

Yes sunscreen is an absolute necessity for the warmer months of the year. You were probably getting sunburnt with how thin your hair was, so thats why it hurt. Try to get a sunscreen with spf at the minimum of 15, but 30 will probably be better. I use banana boat sport sunscreen with an spf of 30 or headblades sunscreen with an spf of 15. One thing to keep in mind the more you sweat after a few hours you will want to reapply the sunscreen. I have burnt my head a few times and it is not fun.
SBG Math Guy:
I was thinking of wearing a hat just to be safe but I need to show my bald dome.
It's not fun wearing a hat when you are bald. But thanks for the tips, good to hear that sunscreen can prevent the burn. O0
parksie:
Wearing a hat is a good idea though i cant stand them lol!

Sunscreen will work. If you are in the sun a long time you need to re-apply once an hour or whenever you towel it off.
