I'm quite sensitive to sun. Sadly, I haven't found a very good solution to protect my scalp, which has led to (quite painful) sunburns on top of my head in the past.

I know wearing a hat can be a solution for this, but we all know that some hairdo's don't allow for this. As for not creating a side part: my hair's just not long enough to put it all back...

Anybody who's had this problem and found a solution?
My best guess is mineral SPF, but I'm wondering if there's anything else out there which works without making your hair greasy...

I know that problem! But I didn't found a solution too so I'm not helpful. Sorry! I just try to wear buns and ponytails to a least cover most of the scalp...but that probably doesn't help :)
