When it comes to sun protection, it's the exposed areas of skin that typically need shielding and Sun Bun is offering head-to-toe support with its new Scalp & Hair Mist SPF 30. The product is designed to provide sun protection where it's often ignored in the form of a [lightweight, fast-drying mist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-mist). The hair and scalp mist is designed to be distributed so that it won't leave hair feeling heavy or greasy. The nourishing treatment for all hair types is color-safe, cruelty-free and water-resistant up to 80 minutes. Ideally, the product is to be applied 15 minutes before sun exposure.

Alongside the essential active ingredients for long-lasting sun protection, the [Sun Bum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunscreen-face-stick-1) Scalp & Hair Mist SPF 30 also includes sunflower seed extract and algae extrat.
