Can you recommend a good scalp sunscreen?

Question:
Can you (or any others) recommend a good scalp sunscreen? Now that summer is upon us, I'm trying to be extra careful to keep from burning my scalp. I want something that I can apply every day without fear of a negative interaction with my regrowth meds. Hopefully I can also find a product that doesn't totally weigh down/screw up my hair style. Yes, there is hair up there--just thin.


Answer:
I use the cheapest I can find (No-Ad 45 was about a third the name brand prices). the thickness is a slight problem, but one good point: assuming you don't apply too much, it actually makes the hair 'stand up' a bit better, sort of like hair spray. too much applied does give a bad 'wet, stringy' look, so start with very little.

since keeping the scalp healthy is probably important for hair growwth, I think the benefits of using sunscreen on the scalp far outweigh any potential negatives.
