Is there a way to protect your scalp from getting sunburn?

Question

Cause when I get sunburn on my head it hurts and I want to know if there is a way I can prevent it or treat it. Please help!

Answer 1

Bananna boat sell a spray for you hair and scalp to protect from the sun you can find this and any drud=g store or wal mart/ target

Answer 2

Don't wear a hat! You probably don't want to bc it's already hot and you probably have pretty hair.

I was constantly burning my scalp then I decided to try the spray on Sport Coppertone SPF 50. It works awesome & unlike applying regular sunscreen lotion it doesn't grease up your hair. :)

Hope it helps! Nothing hurts like a burnt scalp in the shower. OUCH! :(

Answer 3

Yeah wear a hat! Just kidding, but really that does work. I know what you mean, go to a salon and buy Redken shampoo and conditioner, the conditioner has a built sun screen which won't only protect your hair, but your scalp too, or if you want to save money just put sun screen in your hair, but I wouldn't recommend it

Answer 4

Sunscreen applied directly to the scalp, not the hair. Also professional conditioners have sunscreen in them. Talk to a beauty supply store.

Answer 5

You can wear a scarf or hat when your outside or spray hair with sunscreen (made for hair) and pull hair back in a pony tail so that you hair covers your scalp.

Answer 6

Keep your hair in a ponytail when you're out in the sun. I have the same problem and that works for me.
