Applying sunscreen to your scalp is crucial to protect it from the sun's harmful rays. Here's how:
Method 1: Using your fingers or a cotton pad:
- Part your hair: Expose the areas of your scalp where you usually part your hair.
- Apply sunscreen: Use your fingers or a cotton pad to directly apply a small amount of sunscreen to your scalp.
- Massage gently: Carefully massage the sunscreen into your scalp, ensuring all exposed areas are covered.
Method 2: Using a scalp-specific SPF spray:
- Choose a spray: Select a scalp-specific SPF spray formulated for hair and scalp protection.
- Spray evenly: Hold the bottle 8 inches away from your scalp and spray the product evenly onto the exposed areas.
- Spread evenly: Gently spread the sunscreen with your fingers to ensure even coverage.
Additional tips:
- Dry hair: Apply sunscreen to dry hair for optimal absorption.
- Thinning hair: If you have thinning hair, apply sunscreen to your scalp and consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat for extra protection.
- Hairline: Remember to apply sunscreen around your hairline, as this area is particularly susceptible to sunburn.
