Walker's Scalp Protector 2oz Spray

Product Information

As soon as the scalp protector has dried, you can then place the system with the tape already positioned on it.

Invisible essential protection for your sensitive scalp, this easy-to-use formula helps shield the top of your head from UVA rays. Scalp protectors can help create a stronger, longer lasting hold. Plus, they can make wearing a system more comfortable. If you’re willing to take extra measures to ensure a long-lasting, comfortable hold for your clients, you’re following the Walker Way. Scalp Protector Dab On from Walker Tape forms a protective layer on the skin and improves adhesion in hot and humid weather; for oily skin; and use during swimming and sports.However, with a supplemental sunscreen or rigorous reapplication, you can go with a lesser SPF if it's a product you'll like more, she says. "I think people don't like using sunscreen on their scalp," she tells Women's Health. "So, I'd rather have someone use [a sunscreen with a lower SPF] than not use it [at all]." Although spray sunscreens are a little less precise, using one with a targeted nozzle, such as the Sun Bum Scalp and Hair Mist, helps ensure you've covered every area.

A Scalp Protector Spray or Scalp Protector Dab On will form a protective barrier to prevent irritation from adhesives and tapes. It will also improve adhesion and lengthen duration of bonds. Our Scalp Protector works great in hot and humid weather conditions too. Which is great for customers who play sports or have oily skin. It may also be applied to hair systems to improve cleanup. Just like with our skin, King tells us sunscreen contains the same set of sun filters that are either physical (aka mineral), chemical, or a combination of both. “The only two FDA-approved physical sunscreens are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide,” explains King. She adds that all other sunscreen products use chemical ones, “which includes avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octanoate,” she says.Mineral sunscreen works for all skin types and is especially great for sensitive skin, yet it may come with a white cast. Chemical sunscreen tends to be sheerer and clearer but can pose a risk of irritation for those with reactive or sensitive skin. Ultimately, the choice is up to you, but all in all, t he best sunscreen is the one you'll wear and one that is at least SPF 30—which is the minimum to keep your skin protected from the sun. Know your skin and hair type

Less moisture means dry hair, split ends and breakage which can make your hair appear frizzy and feel brittle. Raised cuticles also means weaker defences against the sun, which is not ideal.Where chemical sunscreens absorb the sun’s rays, mineral formulas use titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to dissolve UV rays before they ever touch your skin. Both are effective at protecting against sun damage, but since physical sunscreen ingredients can be less inflammatory than those found in chemical formulas, you may opt for this choice if you have sensitive skin. In fact, scalp protectors not only avoid loosening holds, but they are also designed to help increase the hold of an adhesive. This is why stylists will often use them on all of their clients, and not just the ones with sensitive skin.

Using prep products, like scalp protectors, is one of the best ways to follow the Walker Way with your clients. Some people may not initially jump at the chance to use scalp protectors because they add another step in the install process. However, there is a lot to be said for using scalp protectors on all your clients, even the ones who don’t have sensitive skin. We all know by now that we MUST keep our face protected with face suncream. One thing we might not think about, though, is our scalps and hair. Yep, that's right - there are scalp and hair protectors out there and you should be adding them to your summer shopping basket.The spray sits lightly on hair, creating an invisible shield between your strands and the UVA and UVB rays that are constantly being emitted from the sun come rain or shine. Hey there Alan! Scalp Protector is good for the skin in that it protects from irritation and helps increase wear time for oily skin, along with problems caused by humid climates. We recommend our Max Hold Sport if you plan on using a scalp protector.
