We all know that protecting our skin is essential if we're going to be out in the sun all day, but what you may not have realized is that it's important to apply sunblock to your scalp and hair, too. Hair sunscreens keep your strands healthy and moisturized while preventing fading and other harmful effects that can come about as a result of the sun's strong rays. They're a great product to keep in your beach bag, along with a protective straw hat and your favorite drugstore sunscreen. And besides, you already use specialized products for other areas of your body (hello, face sunscreen!), so why should your hair be the exception?
Truth be told, it's so easy to forget to apply sunscreen to hard-to-reach places. When's the last time you recall applying it on your hairline and scalp? Chances are, it's been a while since you've considered your crown and hair! Not to worry: This handy list not only helps you get your hairline and scalp protected, but each of these products are super easy to use, too. Whether you prefer a spray, a powder, or even a mousse, there's something on this list for every kind of SPF application.
This SPF sprays on completely clear, meaning you'll never see it on your hair or scalp, no matter what color your locks are! How cool is that packaging, too?
