Question for us no hair guy's

[kmaultsby]

The other day I ran into a fellow rider and he had asked me a very good question. He asks what I use under my helmet to block the sun to keep from leaving sun burn marks on his head. He had a shaved head like me. What recommendations you have for us no hair guys to go under are helmets?

Do-Rag. It absorbs the sweat and also prevents burning of the scalp.

Do-wrag. I have ware one and i have hair but not much of it.

I use the CoolMax (classic or shorty) versions of Headsweats ( http://www.headsweats.com ). Really just a glorified do-rag, but I find that they do a bit better job of wicking the sweat and keeping it out of my eyes than cotton. I usually try to pick up a couple when I see them at good sale prices (like 50%) at Nashbar, Performance, Cambria etc.


Bald spot? No, that's not a bald spot, I just like to shave that one place on the top of my head, really!

Some of us fellows like to keep our hair pretty short and we can get sunburnt scalps as well....I suppose I could use a bandana under the helmet, but in the heat, I need airflow !! may give it a try this summer (only 3 months to go!!)

Sunscreen.

Sunscreen.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I tried that once and imagine my agony as sweat & sunscreen ran into my eyes.....
If you think sweat by itself is bad, just add sunscreen to it.
I use a cycling bandana, keeps sweat out of eyes & off glasses & I do not get any sunburn anylonger thru helmet holes.
