About 18 months ago, I had a lump removed from the top of my head. It turned out to be skin cancer, and I had to go back to have a second chunk taken out - and a skin graft put in its place. The dermatologist advised that as a bald guy, I should ALWAYS be wearing SPF50 on my head... hail, rain and shine. About 20 years too late, but got to start some time!
I tried various different SPF50's - some thick white pastes, some nice smelling gels. I used BLD BRO SPF50 for a few months and was quite happy with it, but they reduced the tube size, and it seemed a bit expensive. I then discovered The Bald Brothers, which sounded similar, but a little cheaper. I've now been using it for around 8 months, and am much happier with it. Less greasy, more mattifying... the only negative being it doesn't have the fresh citrus scent!
A pea sized amount coats my freshly shaved head, and it feels less greasy than most. The matt finish takes a lot of the shine off my head, which also helps my 'scar' be less visible. The SPF50 does a great job, and although I wear a cap a lot of the time, it's protected me in various hot sunny countries. Yes - if I rub my head, and then touch my phone, there are finger prints... but I don't know of any SPF's that 100% dry in and vanish.
I've just re-stocked my SPF50, face and scalp moisturiser and hydration serum with a recent discount code. I'd guess a tube of SPF is lasting me about 2 to 2.5 months, so even at full price, it's under £3 a week.
Baldies... try the SPF50, and if you don't like The Bald Brothers one, then try others... but don't end up like me and need a crater cut out of your head. Protect that bonce with SPF50 at all times!!
I’m completely amazed, my husband asked me to get him something for his scalp, so I bought a gift package for him and he’s actually using it.
