Mixed race or darker skin girls need to protect from the sun and not just your skin but your hair too. I wear protective styles in the summer, corn rows and braids, to keep moisture in so I have ben looking for a sunscreen for ages I could use not just on my body but on my head and hair as well.
I’ve tried black girl sunscreen which comes in an spf 30 and spf 50 and it’s OK, doesn’t leave a white residue, the biggest problem with sunscreen on dark skin but rubbing it on my scalp wasn’t the easiest and it did feel a bit greasy and messy on my hair.
There are few products out there just for scalp, I’ve tried a couple but I wanted a sunscreen that I could spray on my hair as well.
The beauty of this product is it works for both, great suncream but great for protecting the hair and scalp too for anyone with a protective style. And you don’t need to wash your hair everyday. I left mine for a week while in the sun and the non greasy formula and lovely scent gave me no issues when wanting to look put together for drinks or dinner in the evening.
It retails for about £30 but I found mine in Tesco of all places for £18.
