Sun protection for scalp

6 replies

SS123456 · 27/06/2022 19:00

Can anyone recommend a sun protection scalp spray that can be used on babies?

My 10 months continually pulls off her hat (even one I tie on!) and when I put normal suncream on her head her hairs ends up all matted and sticky

I use a scalp spray as an adult on myself but I wasn't sure if there are specific ones people use on little ones?

Thanks!

If she has hair does she need suncream on her scalp?

I just use the Malibu scalp protector on my DC (very fair hair, absolutely needs sunscreen). It is a little greasy but doesn't matt and actually makes the hair beautifully soft.

@MolliciousIntent she doesn't have much hair and what she does have is fine and fair. I have a full head of dark hair and my scalp burns in the sun so I would imagine hers would too

Boots do one but you can just use any suncream
spray.

I can't say I've ever used suncream on my kids heads. And I have a very pale, red head child!
