Too much sun can pose a problem for those with hair loss. We encourage those with thinning hair to use SPF 30 or greater not only on their face and body, but also on their scalp. Other tips to avoid a scalp sunburn include wearing a UPF hat and give your scalp breaks from the sun. If you do get a scalp sunburn, you should keep your scalp moist (avoid alcohol based products), keep aloe vera on hand, and take shorter showers. Seek medical attention if you are experiencing severe discomfort. As always, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
If you have hair loss and wonder if you are a candidate for medical or surgical hair restoration, please consider making an appointment.
