Title: Tanning bald head.
Post by: Ftank on March 26, 2009, 06:34:02 AM

Do you guys bother with any of those fake tanning lotions or do they not work well on your head?  I was thinking of trying it out because my head it pretty pale.  Thanks for any advice.

they work quite well for me, Jergens or the off-brand

I tried the Jergens brand and I think it made me look a little orange.  No too bad though.  Also when you shave does it remove the tanner also?  Thanks

put the tanner on sometime after your shave. you should leave the tanner on until your skin absorbs it b4 you do anything else to your head.

It takes time, but the best dome tanner is just the sun.  It won't happen over a few days or even a week, though, and don't of course get it sunburnt :(  My dome has gradually become darker over the two and a half years I've been shaving.  Even now, it's a little lighter than my face: that's just natural, especially where you still have hair growth.

Some of the guys do use self-tanning products.  I would say the ones that naturally promote tanning are the best, rather than fake tans. 8)
