I guess you don't have the brain any more?  There are a few product you can buy. Dixie tan works well. You might need a few boxes for some thing the size of a bear, but it is inexpensive. Google it. Comes with directions.

You can brain tan with the hair on .  It works well, but is a bit of work as is any self tanning job. Do you need brain tan directions?
