5 Tips for Sunscreen on Your Scalp Without Greasy Hair

Use powder sunscreen instead of lotion Powders go on matte, won’t weigh hair down, and stay put better than lotions.

Apply lotion sunscreen with a brush or fingertips If you only have lotion, dab it onto a makeup brush or your fingertips and apply only to your part and hairline, avoiding the strands.

Let lotion dry before touching your hair After applying lotion to the scalp, wait for it to dry completely to avoid greasiness.

Try dry shampoo with SPF Dry shampoo that contains SPF is a convenient option if you want to skip extra steps.

Don’t skip scalp protection Scalp sunburns are miserable and peel heavily, so protecting this area is worth the effort.
