Sunscreen for your scalp?

Hi. I was wondering if there is a non greasy spray on type suncreen for your scalp that wont make my hair look oily? I don’t like wearing hats, mainly because I can never find one that looks good on me but want a way to protect my scalp from getting burnt.

Or alternatively, where did you get your hats from so I can look around to see if I can find one that I like.

Thanks

    It’s a good question, but as good as any sunscreen is, I’m afraid I just wouldn’t trust going out in the direct sunlight without a hat on. However if it’s just for dashing in and out of the sun between places etc I can see how it would be easy to get your head burnt too and sometimes hats are not always appropriate for work etc :-O

    Ok, so I tried the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen spray in SPF 30+. I found the spray very light weight and easy to use. It didn’t make my hair look oily when I just sprayed it in, but I don’t know if the spray is enough to get good coverage and protection. I think I would reccommend spraying the product into your hand and them pressing/rubbing the sunscreen into your part with your other hand. I might try some other brands when this sunscreen runs out.

    you could try the sunsense gel or spray sunscreen (green label) they are in an alcohol base so they would evaporate off and not leave a residue.

    I use Shiseido Sunscreen spray all over my hair and scalp. It does not leave any oily residue on my hair. Just spray it in when your hair is dry. I know Clarins makes a spray for your hair and scalp as well.

    I’ve not heard of a scalp sunscreen…you might have to go to a hat option. I also don’t like hats …you know hat hair etc plus they make me feel waaay too hot. But sometimes I have needed on and I think you need to find one that just suits your style. Lots of girls just wear a baseball cap or there are often cute hats in sportsgirl or myer or DJ’s. Sorry I’m not much help 🙁
