My hair is very dark brown, just shy of black, and I am religious about sun protection. Think big hat, heavy layer of sunscreen, Asian auntie vibe. I also freckle if the sun even licks me so I avoid it in every way possible. It’s the main problem with skin aging and wrinkles, before smoking.

My scalp is **bright **white. When I part my hair, it appears that I’m balding. I am not balding. The stark contrast makes it look that way. I’ve looked at old pictures of myself when my hair was lighter and I always had parts where, when my hair decided to curl a funny way, were exposed, but it wasn’t so stark a difference.

Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do?

Face self-tanner applied on the scalp, or dyeing hair lighter so it doesn’t stand out so much were my ideas.
