Need help with scalp sunburn?

Question:

I was out in the sun too long yesterday, and now the part of my scalp where my hair was parted is burnt. How can I help this heal faster, and what are some ways to prevent this in the future without making my hair all greesy? Thanks!

Putting rubbing alcohol on it might help. Sounds like it might hurt, I know, but its been a long standing sunburn relief.
Also, try to get a sunburn spray (like Solarcaine) to anestetize the area.
Anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen, aspirin) also help with the pain and itching.
In the future:
- use a spray-type, non-oily sunblock on your part
- wear a hat
-and/or style your hair in a way so their won't be a part.

apply some savlon to your affected area , and do not go out in the sun without wearing a hat , the u v rays are a killer . good luck .
