Summer means beaches, pools, cookouts, and time in the sun without a hat. For millions of Americans struggling with hair loss, this brings the challenge of protecting the scalp from the dangerous sun. Products designed for thinning hair, such as Scalp Saver Sunblock developed by Hair Loss Control Clinic, protect the delicate skin of your scalp, and maintain your hairstyle. Look for these four things when choosing a hair loss sunscreen for thinning hair.

#1 Sun Cancer Protection

Don't sacrifice protection for appearance. Look for a product with UVA/UVB protection. Scalp Saver SPF 46 is a natural, zinc-based formulation which blocks UVA and UVB rays.

#2 Designed for Sensitive Skin

The skin of the scalp is sensitive, and regular sunscreen can irritate it. For thinning hair, look for a sunscreen without parabens or sulfates. The best sunscreens for thin hair free of all irritants and is dermatologist tested. Scalp Saver can be used on sensitive skin because it is free of fragrances, parabens, colorants and sulfates.

#3 Ease of Use

Sunscreen for thinning hair should be applicable without altering the hair style. A greasy sunscreen weighs down hair and shows more scalp, so look for a spray applicator. Some products have additional components to make use easy. Scalp Saver SPF 46 sprays on white to ensure complete coverage before it dries clear for invisible protection.

#4 Works with different types of thinning hair

Different hair thins differently. For men, the top and back of the head is more likely to have thinning hair. Because this area is hard to reach and see, look for a sunscreen that sprays on in color and dries clear so that it is easy to tell where the sunscreen has been applied and where does not require coverage. Women's hair thins more at their part. Look for a hair loss sunscreen that sprays on so that it does not affect hair style. Children need a gentle sunscreen that dries quickly and won't drip into their eyes. Scalp Saver SPF 46 Sunscreen dries without dripping and children like watching it "magically" change color.

Using the four criteria above can help you find a sunscreen for thinning hair that works well with your lifestyle and hairstyle. Sunscreens, such as Scalp Saver SPF 46, allow anyone with hair loss to continue to have an active and enjoyable summer without worrying about a sunbu
or the risk of skin cancer.
