The best thing to get is a hat with SPF filters. I work outdoors and I've found hats to be the best in covering scalp hair, with an updo/twist to keep length at minimal exposure. I can be outdoors up to 16 hrs, and using a braid still didn't protect my hair as much as an updo.
There are many products you can use to protect hair from sun ie) oils, leave in conditioners etc. Sunblock for hair only protects colored hair, not virgin hair.
There are some updos with scarves that Igor here has demonstrated in her photo album, but you'd have to get a scarf with SPF protection because UBV rays can penetrate cotton etc.
Good luck!
