Now you have to get that evened out!

LuckiLy, I got the French side of the family complexion instead of the Irish side. I only get a line in front of my ears from sunglasses.
Bald by choice, and loving it!

I couldn’t believe how white my head was after the first time I shaved it.  Now my tanned bald head matches the rest
of me.

I guess I’ll have to put some sunscreen on my head and go without a hat for a little while and see if that helps.  I hate putting sunscreen on my head.

I don't spend much time in direct sunlight so I don't wear a hat or use sunscreen but Bee Bald does have a moisturizer that has spf15 in it.  I just spend enough time in the sun to get a nice even tan on my head but not more than a few minutes a day.  I still have a couple of white lines where my sunglasses go.

I slapped on some sunscreen and went for a walk without a hat. I felt naked.  It’s not that I like wearing hats but I’ve made it a point to never go outdoors without one so the dome stays protected.  But for now, I have to even out this color a bit.  It looks like I have a bandage stuck to the back of my head.

I new a guy that wore a baseball cap that had those little rivet holes in it.  Well, he went to a baseball game and when he got home, he had a bunch of little red dots on his head.  I can hardly see the tan line you have.

The toughest part about being bald headed in the summer are preventing funny tan lines. If it’s a hat, it’s a bucket hat. I try to skip out on baseball caps to prevent bad tan lines. With a cycling helmet, i wear a handkerchief on my head with the cycling helmet over it.

I always use a lot of sunscreen like SPF50 when doing recreational activities outside. But on a daily basis i also use an Aveeno moisturizer with SPF15. That dries clear.

A lot of sunscreens just don’t dry clear. And if you don’t shave that day, the sunscreen clings to the stubble leaving white patches.

What’s your favorite sunscreen?

I never really liked wearing hats and rarely do.  But I do see those baseball hat tan lines frequently, even for guys with close buzz cuts or faded hairstyles.

No sunblock on head , just a wide brim hat during midday . When the sun is not high in the sky or it is cloudy, then no hat. This way I get color but no burn , especially not to the top of my head.

That's why I prefer fitted caps....
