Suncream for thinning hair?

Mark M · 11 May 2017 at 13:58

Sadly time is catching up with me and I need to look at protecting my thinning crown! I wear a hat where possible but are there any other options out there? I dont want to whack a load of greasy sun cream on there really! Its more so for foreign holidays where you are out in the sun a lot.

I found this which looks like it could be good but Im sure the powers of OCUK can assist me with finding the best solution!

Get a bottle of P20. Apply liberally once in the morning, that's you done all day. In and out of the pool

...not that I'm in the same boat as you or anything, nope I've got a full head of thick hair...honest guv

Embrace the fact you didn't win the genetic lottery and go full monk mode

Shave it all off, or try to fight it with finasteride.

Mustard, works wonders.

Get yourself a nice metallic blue syrup or similar. Keeps your head protected and warm and looks stylish too. Maybe a bob style.

Never heard of this P20 stuff, will have to check it out! Sounds like it could be the perfect thing for my manly balding head.

Get a cool Indiana Jones style hat.

Get a Wolves top and an orange hat.

Not balding but another vote for P20.

i reckon P20 is carp.

stains everything and you will burn with it. for the scalp i dont know. not sure how you would put p20 or any other cream onto your head when there is still hair / thin hair present.

Aye; don't over think this and forget all that "lotion on the skin" trap. Get a hat. Hats are cool!

It rubs the lotion on its skin...

I still have hair (seems to be obligatory to state this in responses to this thread) but when holidaying in hotter climes I find that Calypso once a day lotion does the job and is certainly cheaper than P20.

I've got a no.1 crop and usually use factor 30 all over my head. Not had any issues.

Will Gill · 12 May 2017 at 11:31

I just spray some factor 30 stuff on my bonce, takes a while to work into the last few remaining hairs but protects my tete perfectly

OP?

You know there are medications out there which reverse hair loss like finasteride? You can get a prescription for it easily. None of this suncream for hair rubbish.

i never go out without a hat in the sun...but i shave my head bald....er
