Whether on our holidays or at home relaxing in our gardens on a warm summer day, most of us will protect our skin with sun cream, but what about our scalps? When the weather is hot, it’s important to protect our scalp with a hat to prevent it from becoming burnt or damaged by the sun. It’s equally as important to remember to let our scalps breathe and cool, by removing hats when in the shade or indoors. Avoiding the midday sun can also help in protecting our skin from ultraviolet rays.

If the scalp is not protected from the sun, it can cause sunburn, which can be red, itchy andafter a few days, the scalp may begin to flake. This itching and flaking may be mistaken as dandruff.

A flaky scalp caused by sunburn will normally repair itself within a few days, but if you are concerned it is always recommended to seek medical advice. 

To help prevent sunburn and keep your skin protected, remember to:

• Apply sun cream and reapply as needed throughout the day

• Protect your scalp with a hat and let your scalp breathe when in the shade or indoors

• Wear suitable clothing that helps to protect you from the sun

• Avoid being in the direct sun at midday
