If you have dark hair it will look like you have a ton of dandruff in your hair after about an hour after using this product.

I was very easy to use. It doesn’t make hair greasy. It covered hair well and didn’t let sun burn the scalp that usually happens without the scalp protection. The UV protection is spot on.

It's a NO
This is very liquid when sprayed, and I was expecting more of a mist. It doesn't smell awful but it's not good either. It's very sticky also.

Summer staple
Super easy to use on my part, my hairline, and anywhere where I might have thinner hair, or trimmed very short. At this point it's one of my summer staples. I personally don't find it to be greasy or leaving weird residues in my hair, but my hair is very dark and moderate density, so this may be different for people with different hair. Also no major sunscreen smell, as far as I've noticed, so I expect that it is friendly to people with sensory issues. I don't know if it has a white cast issue on skin, as I'm a pretty pale person, but having black hair I've noticed no discoloration after applying.

Works great
This is great for my toddler. She has very fine and blonde hair and her scalp is exposed to the sun. I spray this on and she doesn't get a sunburn. I also use it on myself and it works great for me too. My only complaint is that I wish the bottle was bigger for the amount of money they charge.

greasy, sticky
I love SunBum products, but not this one. Made my hair greasy, sticky, and stiff. You should just add non-sticky, non-greasy SPF to the 3 in 1 spray(which is the greatest!)

Packaged without protection
It broke in the package, along with my soap, soaking everything. Unfortunately, it's not eligible for a refund, so I didn't get to try it.

Feels Great On My Hair!
I bought this because normal sunscreen makes my hair feel greasy when I put it on my scalp, and it's amazing! My hair feels moisturized but not weighed down, and it helps with frizz and blocks the sun from stripping the color from my hair. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a good hair/scalp sunscreen. Bonus, it has that signature Sun Bum scent that smells delicious!
