DS has really fine, light colored hair and is really pale. He doesn't always want to keep a hat on, and I wanted to see what solutions people have come up with for getting sunscreen on the head/hair. Last summer, DS was still pretty bald, so I just put regular cream on. I am wondering if a spray would work...The pool opens this weekend, and keeping a hat on will be even more complicated.
It is yucky to put sunscreen in their hair, and it's not that effective once they have a certain amount of hair. Thanks @theresat858. I will look into the mineral powder. I have the same issue with my part, too.
My son is totally bald. He has alopecia. We use the Aveeno kids stick! We can't really use anything else besides this prescription stuff his derm gave us. But we found we had to apply the Aveeno less.
I make my own sunscreen for DD and rub that stuff right onto her head. The greasy hair is NBD to me and since it is mostly coconut oil it's actually pretty good for her hair.
