6x the very best sun protection for your scalp

It was on the terrace in Wijk aan Zee (the weather got a solid ten so the editorial team had moved to May's beach house) when Lil looked at me with panicked eyes: ‘Lot, I think my separation is burning, can you apply it for me?’ She handed me a tube of body sunscreen, so I already had my doubts about whether this would go well and my gut feeling was right. The next day I received a WhatsApp message including images that it was indeed bright red, oops. I believe we've all had this at some point, at least I have. Applying usually goes up to the hairline and then I stop, while your skin doesn't just stop there and your hair doesn't serve the function of blocking UV radiation. So it's quite wise to also apply products there that don't make your hair greasy, so not with that cream for your face and body. I've gathered which ones you can best use. They don't make your hair greasy, are easy to use, and protect the scalp as it should to prevent burning, but also diseases. It might be an extra task, but it's definitely wise. And Lil, a tip for you: massage some sunflower oil into your scalp, this prevents dryness and helps prevent UV damage. Then don't put your head in the sun, because then you could fry an egg in it later. Shop them.
