Re: sun protection for toddlers/babies scalp

There are a number of manufacturers who make sunscreen specifically for the hair and scalp - try googling "sunscreen for scalp" to find examples. However, many people who use these products complain that they are greasy so I'm afraid you may not find the type of product you are looking for.

I understand what you say about your daughter not wearing her hat but hats are the ideal sun protection for the head, not only preventing sunburn and skin damage but also helping to keep the head cool when it is hot.
