Hi, I too have thin fine hair. When I am at the beach, I always pull my hair up and the thin places always get burned. What I do is put zinc oxide on the thinning spots. But this is at beach, in real everyday life, I think I would use a regular sunscreen on your scalp. They make them non-greasy now. The problem with conditioners with sunscreen is they are not rated with a sun protection factor. They are generally used to protect color from fading in the sun. Redken has a whole line of products for the sun called Sun Shape. However, when I called the 1-800 number to ask what the SPF was in this line they replied "It doesn't have one, it has sun filters." ...hhhmmmmm...... So, I believe your best bet would be a normal sunscreen for your scalp. The non-greasy kind.  ------------- I am a professional Hairstylist/Haircolorist with 19 years experience. I have traveled all over the country for my advanced education. I am also a salon owner.:)........and I LOVE Redken!!! |

All the Phyto products have sunscreen added to the formulas. Phyto 9 and 7 both will help block out sunrays. Also, Phyto has a complete line of hair care products designed specifically for the sun. http://mp.hairboutique.com/details.asp?ProdID=681 - http://mp.hairboutique.com/details.asp?ProdID=681 http://mp.hairboutique.com/details.asp?ProdID=682 - http://mp.hairboutique.com/details.asp?ProdID=682 FG ------------- |
