Title: That stupid tan line
Post by: Apollo5 on October 06, 2006, 12:11:32 AM: Be Careful what kind of hat you wear in the sun. You could get a tan line around your head just above the ears. People will laugh at you. wear a hat with a brim going all the way around it if you atre going to be in the sun. BTW hats are good protection even with sunscreen.

I wear sunscreen everyday...it's part of the lotion I use to keep my dry scalp shiny and smooth. But, I always wear a hat also if I'm going to be out in the sun for extended periods...now I need to get one with a bigger brim.

Ah yes, the good ol' racing stripes. I wear those occasionally! Especially if I'm in Hawaii.

Post by: schro on December 07, 2006, 09:57:37 AM: Took my wife & kids to Kihei for my 40th in May. Now that they're 6 & 8, they were old enough to enjoy the ocean. Got to swim with a pod of spinner dolphins in a cove off Lanai. Amazing experience. When the boat guides are getting their waterproof cameras out and getting in the ocean, you know you're doing something extremely rare.

As far as scalp protection (even though I haven't shaved the dome yet), I wear a bucket (Gilligan) hat most of the time, especially during the golf season. Although I am pretty religious about sunscreen, the bucket hat is a no brainer. I can see why that would be needed for bald dudes to avoid looking like a missle pop. "Parrot Partier"? Buffet fan?

Post by: Moon on December 16, 2006, 10:28:23 AM: Nothing is cooler than the Racing stripes yall are talking about. "They say Hay that dude is the out doors Kinda dude and I wanna hang with him." The stripe only last a day or so if you spend 10 or 15 minutes a day outside. My stripes are there year around as I like to play outside. And yes My pumpkin is tan as well. Peace to all my bald brothers.
Moon out.

Post by: Noner on December 18, 2006, 09:41:05 AM: One of my lay-days has stickers that she puts on her body when she goes tanning. There in different shapes so she gets a tan tattoo.

I want to try some on my head. Nothing like a big star on your noggin to look cool.
