Who is most at risk of sunburn on their head?
A day at the beach, a few hours of gardening or a trip to the city, and there you have it: The scalp is burnt as a result of prolonged exposure to the sun. This painful experience particularly affects men and women with: 1. thin hair: With thin hair, the scalp offers less protection against the harmful effects of UV rays, which increases the risk of sunburn. 2. bald patches or baldness: People with bald patches or baldness are particularly susceptible to sunburn on the scalp as they have no natural hair protection. 3. thin scalp: For some people, the skin on the scalp is generally thinner and more sensitive, making them more susceptible to sunburn. 4. forgotten sunscreen: The scalp is often overlooked when applying sunscreen, especially if the hair is thick or a hairstyle makes it difficult to rub in. Sunburn on the scalp can be extremely painful and lead to redness, swelling and blistering. In the long term, repeated exposure to the sun can lead to skin damage and an increased risk of skin cancer. To prevent scalp sunburn, the use of a sun hat or regular application of sunscreen to the scalp is essential. You should choose a wide-brimmed hat or a sunscreen spray with a sufficient sun protection factor (SPF). This way, you can protect your scalp from harmful UV rays and enjoy the sun without any worries.
How does sunburn develop on the head?
The hair does not always provide sufficient protection to cover the scalp, even if it grows very thick and strong. In addition, UV radiation falls vertically on the head. Like the forehead, nose, shoulders and cheeks, it is one of the areas most exposed to the sun. What’s more, most men and women forget to apply sunscreen to their scalp. If the sun’s harmful rays reach the scalp unhindered, the result is painful sunburn on the head. The tricky thing is that the symptoms only show up many hours later. In addition to significant redness, swelling, itching, burning and pain can occur. The skin feels warm and tight. After two days, the surface of the skin peels off in most sufferers. It appears dry, scaly and tends to itch. Good to know: If nausea, dizziness, fever and headaches occur, this indicates sunstroke. To treat this quickly, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. If the sunburn causes damage to the scalp, this can lead to hair loss. If the top layer of skin dries out, the hair roots are not supplied with sufficient nutrients, causing them to atrophy. They fall out a few weeks after heavy sun exposure. In this case, you should always consult a dermatologist to stop the hair loss

How can you prevent sunburn on your head?
To protect the crown of your head from sunburn, it is advisable to move it regularly so that the sun does not shine on the same area for too long. The easiest way to protect the scalp is to cover your head. Caps and multi-layered scarves offer the greatest protection. With straw hats, you should make sure that they are tightly woven so that the sunlight does not penetrate. Caps and hats with integrated UV protection are an alternative. Transparent sun sprays with UV filters are recommended when bathing. The products are non-greasy, leave no unsightly white residue and can be applied to the crown of the head. If you are bald or have very short hair, the risk of sunburn on your head is greatest. A sun cream or spray with a high sun protection factor is suitable for protecting the sensitive scalp. A transparent sun spray is easy to spray on and does not leave a noticeable shine. You can also use a mattifying sun cream, which is also suitable for the face. Tip: When choosing a suitable sun cream, it is important that the sun protection factor matches your skin type. Men and women with very fair skin should preferably use SPF 50+ to avoid sunburn. If you perspire heavily or after bathing, regular reapplication will maintain protection.
Tips to soothe sunburn on the head
Cooling: To relieve the pain and remove the heat from your scalp, wrap a slightly damp, cold towel around your head. You can also use a cool pack. But be careful: never place it directly on the skin and don’t use it for longer than 20 minutes. After-sun products: These products provide sun-stressed skin with plenty of moisture and have a cooling and soothing effect. Water: To compensate for the skin’s loss of moisture, you should drink plenty and, above all, regularly. This supports the skin’s natural regeneration process.
