Step 1 — Shake Well Before Use
Before each application, shake the bottle thoroughly to activate the SPF protectants for even coverage.

Step 2 — Apply Generously
Hold the bottle 6–8 inches away and mist evenly over dry hair, scalp, and exposed skin.
Use enough product to lightly cover the entire area — especially along the part line, hairline, and scalp crown, where sun exposure is most direct.

Step 3 — Reapply as needed or every 2 hours during sun exposure. Reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel drying for continued protection.
Safe for use on both hair and skin, so you can refresh as often as needed throughout the day.

Step 4 — Use Year-Round
Apply daily to protect the skin, scalp, and hair from UV damage, dryness, and hair color fading caused by everyday sun exposure.
