Protect your scalp from the hot sun!

Guys, this is important! Sun exposure is the most common cause of skin cancer on the scalp. Protect your scalp this summer!

So I want to talk about scalp sun protection. A lot of times when I meet new clients I go through their hair. I’m looking at their ends, the lengths and their overall hair health. But I am also checking out their scalp and looking for any moles, a-symmetrical markings or just spots that shouldn't be there. I'm also checking out their ears. I am at the perfect vantage point to see what is going on with my client. A lot of times we are not able to get a good view in these areas in the mirror. This is very important for me specially since I have had little basal cell carcinomas taken off my body. Everyone is talking about SPF this summer. It is so important. I feel like it's never been hotter. I'm always nervous about the top of my my head. I use Drmtlgy SPF Radiants Powder. It is a broad spectrum SPF 30. I just apply it along any hair partings where my scalp might be showing to give the protection my scalp needs. I also apply it to the top of my ears.

Below are products and links to my top scalp conscious sunscreens. Next time you are with your hair stylist ask them to take a good look at your scalp. Bring your scalp SPF in the car, in your purse or just carry it with you in some way and potect your scalp this summer!
