Hi guys. I have shaved my head off and on over the past 10 years. Im a avid outdoorsman. I cave i hunt fish explore ect. My problem is I find my head is waay to sensitive to Limbs bumps anything slaping my head. Granted I only stay bald for about 2 months becouse of it.
So my question is will my head become tougher? Anything i can do to make my skin more durable? Any ideas will help.

Hi minqua. You mean like growing horny skin on your dome? I don't think so.
-
There've been several posts over the past few years on the phenom of hitting our heads more than we did when we had some hair. I think those posts sort of reached a consensus that the hairs acted rather like a cat's whiskers and gave us some warning. Maybe when treking through the woods, some type of protective head gear might be in order. Shame to cover up, of course, but if it can prevent a nasty scratch--well think about it.

So my head will stay sensitive? It wont get used to the pain. Im trying to find out on the net {but no luck yet} if there is a way i can get it used to brusing or not so sensitive to things.
Kinda like the martial artist sometimes hit their hand in sand to toughen it up.
-
Maybe take some vicodin or oxycotin to help numb the pain?

Are you putting us on? :/O :/O Didn't your mother tell you pain was nature's way of saying, "Stop!"

No he doesn't have to stop, he's gotta do drugs! Then a :popo will get him!

I don't think there are any martial arts-style techniques you could use to toughen up your head that wouldn't also give you unintended side-effects... like calluses or bruising. Getting some sun couldn't hurt, and exfoliating might get you used to the sensation of something rough on your head. I wouldn't expect the skin on your head to get any "tougher" than, say, the skin on the inside-facing part of your arm. If you're moving through the brush, you would wear long pants and sleeves... a bandanna would probably be a good idea to get some cloth between you and the thicket.

I've already bashed my head so many times in the past year that it's been shaven. I'm 6'3" so the tops of doorways and low-lying tree limbs are not my friend.
The only real way to get the skin on your head tougher is to have it take a beating all over a few times. Intentional head bashing not recommended.

Perhaps one day an ingenious person will invent a skin-coloured foam rubber DomeProtector (TM) that snaps to your dome so it still looks natural while being protected. ;D

Very nice! ;D
For us demanding sly guys they had to be much more high-tech, though.
Apparently Apple has great success with their iPhone 4 Bumpers.
They should bring out an iDome based on those.
-
Maybe you're right Noggin, they need to be simple and chic like a dome made of chrome. Perhaps, instead of a flowery design, it could be a smooth design, but is a platinum color! It will protect agianst anything, even getting stepped on by an angry mob! (Man I really should write a book, my ideas are too good!)
-
Be careful! Publishing a book with revolutionary ideas like this actually might create an angry mob trying to step on you...

I crawl under alot of houses in my work (pest control) Let me tell ya..not wearing some sort of head protection is a gash waiting to happen.

Found it. You can use brine{AKA]salt water on your head to toughen it up. As long as you dont over do it and make it crackly lookin. Like a big old thumb callouse. And it sound harsh but also hitting you head with sumthing for about 10 minutes stimulates bruising and helps the muscle strengthen.. Shaulin monks used to bash their head agains walls or boards to do this.
I use a round pipe and just lightly tap it untill to sore to do anymore.
