If yours doesn’t contain it, get a separate bottle -- preferably one that has SPF 15 or higher and that is unscented; you don’t want to smell like a coconut at work.

During the classical period women wore their hair long except when they were in mourning during which they cut their hair short. Slaves wore short hair. Before the 5th century women's hair was allowed to fall over the shoulders and back. It was often fastened by a headband or diadem. Later hair was often restrained.
