How to Apply Sunscreen on Scalp?

Published in Scalp Sun Protection 2 mins read

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:

  1. Part your hair: Expose the areas of your scalp where you usually part your hair.
  2. Apply sunscreen: Use your fingers or a cotton pad to directly apply a small amount of sunscreen to your scalp.
  3. Massage gently: Carefully massage the sunscreen into your scalp, ensuring all exposed areas are covered.

Method 2: Using a scalp-specific SPF spray:

  1. Choose a spray: Select a scalp-specific SPF spray formulated for hair and scalp protection.
  2. Spray evenly: Hold the bottle 8 inches away from your scalp and spray the product evenly onto the exposed areas.
  3. 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.
