A sunburned scalp hurts intensely and can ruin your day. Protecting it is crucial, but heavy sunscreens often leave hair greasy and weighed down.
Thankfully, innovative products now shield both scalp and hair without oily residue. As a hair care enthusiast with years of testing sun protection options, here are proven favorites:
1. Byron Bay Hair & Scalp Sunspray SPF 20 ($9.99)
Defends against UVA and UVB rays with a refreshing summer scent. The 100 ml bottle is travel-friendly for carry-on luggage.
2. Kruidvat Solar Hair Protection Spray (€6,99)
Prevents discoloration and dryness while keeping beach hair smooth and easy to comb.
3. Shiseido Refreshing Sun Protection Spray (€30.59)
Oil-free, invigorating formula protects hair and works well on facial skin too.
4. Nuxe Sun Moisture Protection Milky Oil Hair ($17.99)
5. A scarf or sun hat
The ultimate defense: stylish headwear offers complete coverage for hair and scalp.
