When we think of things that are damaged by ultraviolet rays, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the skin. However, many other things can also be damaged by UV rays. From building materials such as plastic and wood to familiar objects such as scalp and hair.
In this issue, we will focus on the scalp.
Even scalps get sunburned!
Like the skin, the scalp also gets sunburned.
Since most Japanese people have dark hair, this “hair” absorbs UV rays, so there is usually little chance of severe sunburn on the scalp.
However, in the case of the elderly or those suffering from thinning hair, the skin may be transparent, making the scalp more susceptible to UV rays. This ultraviolet rays are the very “enemy” that comes in from the outside.
It worsens the condition of the scalp and causes thinning hair. The thinning head is then further exposed to ultraviolet rays…a vicious cycle.
When the scalp gets sunburned, inflammation is more likely to occur. This inflammation causes pain and itching, and can also lead to dandruff.
How to prevent inflammation caused by UV rays?
The first and foremost method of preventing inflammation caused by ultraviolet rays is probably a hat. A parasol is also good. This method is effective not only in preventing inflammation caused by ultraviolet rays, but also in preventing heat stroke.
Especially during the period from May to August, when ultraviolet rays are stronger, it is advisable to use these items. Currently, parasols that can be used by men without discomfort are also available.
Using sunscreen is also effective. However, with ordinary cream-type sunscreens, you may find it difficult to apply. Especially for those who have a certain amount of hair, it is difficult to apply it as desired.
In such cases, spray-type sunscreen is a strong ally. In addition, during the hot summer season, the scalp also tends to sweat. Therefore, it is recommended to use sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours.
Also, be careful if your hair is always parted in the same way. This will expose the skin and make you more susceptible to the effects of UV rays. For this reason, try to change your hairstyle from time to time!
Inflammation of the scalp can be very troublesome. It often affects you not only at the time, but also later on…. Make sure you get through this with good UV protection!
