Scalp Sunscreen recommendations

I have fine hair which is thinning quite a bit & despite it being a dull day my scalp got burned on a walk this week.

I need sun cream to protect the hairline and parting in particular, any recommendations for something not too heavy or greasy.

I tried thr Malibu one but it made my hair look so greasy. I have resorted to a hat although I hate wearing them, or tie my hair on top so my parting is covered

I asked for similar @RemarkablyBrightCreatureToday because a new health condition has left me more sensitive to the sun and we’re off on holiday in a couple of weeks.
I was recommended the Ultrasun face and scalp mist by quite a few people ☺️

I haven’t tried it yet so can’t comment myself but was definitely the most recommended one x

Honestly just wear a hat. I say this as someone with thin hair and a vulnerable scalp. Sun cream is greasy, it will not do your hair any favours

I use the Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen powder / brush. It’s spf 30 and is a powder so doesn’t leave your hair greasy. I use it on my parting and it seems to work well if I’m not wearing a hat.

Ultrasun scalp mist.
