Shadow is as shadow does.  The only "genuine" solution is to have your hair turn white (should you BE "white"), and for many that's years off, if ever--that is, your hair giving up its color, not your skin.  It's thus an advantage for MPB blacks that their shadow is going to be less of a problem than for lighter-skinned, yet still dark-haired others.  This might be one reason so many dark-skinned men shave their heads to such good effect.  My own hair's melanin crapped out years ago.  Lucky me!

Beyond your hair going white or you spending countless hours plucking your hair there's not much you can do. I suppose you could always do laser treatment on your scalp to kill all the hair on your head, but I've never looked to far into that. A shadow is just kind of one of the things you come to live with being bald. You get used to it after a while and while it may seem annoying, since hey you shaved your head to get rid of the horse shoe right? It'll always look better than having it grown out.
