Sunblock for scalp

[Baloonphobia]

Hi all, I've very fine hair and if I'm out for any length of time on a hot day, my scalp gets burnt. I burn extremely quickly even on an overcast day. Does anyone have a solution? My young DD is going to have the same problem and hats everyday are just not practical.

It has to be a hat.

I saw some ‘scalp and parting’ sunblock yesterday; can’t remember the brand though.
I have the same issue and tbh a hat is the best solution.

here I haven't tried it though, I am a hat wearer.

Dh uses the invisible factor 50 mist on his head, ambre solaire. But hat is best.

Damn. I'm not an enthusiastic hat wearer. I'm ok with casual ones when I'm out walking etc but I struggle with one for shopping for example.

I easily get burnt along my parting because my hair is fine. I usually dab a tiny bit of factor 50 along it with my finger avoiding the hair as much as possible.

I'm the same. I wear a baseball cap. Nothing else works.

I've tried the Malibu one and Boots used to do one too. Both left me with a greasy parting.

Still looking for a solution too. Once on holiday got burnt so badly I spent the rest of the trip with a glow emitting from my head

How about a scarf?

I get this.

I once had pigtails in as a kid and it was badly burnt on the parting. Crusty head for weeks afterwards

I either pull my hair back so there is no parting, or use the boots soltan hair/scalp mist stuff.

I have to wear a hat or headscarf in the summer it my parting will burn. I used to use some parting sunblock but it made my hair look a bit greasy tbh and since I now have seborrheic dermatitis a hat or scarf is safer.

Yep, my parting gets burnt if I’m not careful. And there’s nothing worse than the subsequent flaking. I wear a hat as a matter of course both on holiday and on sunny summer days here. Don’t give a shit if other people think it looks odd, it’s that or gross flakes. And when I go in the sea on holiday I fold a headscarf up into a big wide hairband to keep covered.

Hat shopping for me so . The flaky look is not a good one.
