Pastels' expert tips for repairing damaged hair in the UAE
During the cooler winter weather in the UAE, this drier climate can prove challenging when trying to maintain healthy and moisturized hair.
Adding to this cooler weather, the effects of heat styling, chemical treatments, and exposure to hard water, it's no surprise that many people have dry, brittle, and lackluster locks.
At Pastels Hair and Beauty Salon, we understand how these seasonal challenges affect hair. This blog will guide you through our expert salon treatments to keep your hair healthy, soft, and hydrated this UAE winter.
What causes hair damage in the UAE?
Understanding the main reasons behind hair damage in the UAE is essential. Here, we will outline the significant contributing factors to hair damage, what you can do to protect your hair, and also how to repair damage.
Sun exposure: The hot and sunny weather in the UAE strips the hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness, split ends, and sun damage, and also the sun's UV rays bleach pigments in the hair, causing coloured hair to fade.
Water: UAE's residents use tap water that has been de-salinated and treated with high minerals that lead to dullness, breakage, and, most commonly, hair loss.
Heat styling: The excessive blow-drying, ironing, and curling of hair at high temperatures then strips hair of its natural moisture.
Chemical Services: Using chemicals for colouring, bleaching, and keratin treatments weaken the hair’s natural structure.
Air conditioning: Due to the challenging weather in the UAE, there is constant exposure to air conditioning. The air conditioning removes moisture from your hair, leaving it very dull and thirsty for moisture.
Ultimate guide for an expert solution to repair and hydrate damaged hair
Let's dive deep into our solutions that will repair any damage and dehydration your hair is experiencing. The team at Pastels is also able to create bespoke treatments to cater to your individual needs, and they may also advise an ongoing treatment plan to get you back to where it needs to be.
First, let’s begin by repairing the hair from the inside out. The internal strength of the hair is paramount to the hair’s overall health, structure, and manageability, and at Pastels, we turn to Olaplex as that first point of call.
Olaplex – Repair the damaged bonds in your hair structure:
The Olaplex treatment is a renowned solution to damaged hair and is relied upon worldwide.
Olaplex treatments work on the molecular level to rebuild the broken bonds in the hair caused by chemical treatments, heat styling, environmental factors, and sun damage.
After your first treatment session, your hair will feel stronger, healthier, and shinier. For extensive damage to the hair, it is recommended that you use Olaplex at least once a week to achieve the maximum results. Also, speak to your stylist to ensure Olaplex is used throughout your colouring service to protect your hair's structure.
Deep conditioning:
Pastels Salon provides a luxurious hair treatment experience that includes fully reclined lounges where you can rest and enjoy every single moment of relaxation and massage bliss.
Each Pastels location uses the luxury brand Kerastase, which not only rejuvenates and revitalises your hair and scalp, but its professional services infuse your hair with essential nutrients, moisture, and proteins using deeply nourishing masks to address your hair and scalp concerns.
In addition to applying your Kerastase bespoke treatment, the excellent staff at Pastels provide an outstanding scalp massage, improving blood circulation, hydrating the hair, and promoting relaxation to the entire body, making it very hard to leave the treatment area.
Tips to avoid hair damage or further damage to your hair:
Use a shower filter: the hard water in the UAE is de-salinated and filled with high minerals, causing dehydration and hair loss. Shower filters are a must for everyday use.
Avoid the sun: Stay out of the sun between 10 AM and 3 PM, when the sun's UV rays are strongest
Wear a hat: A hat is an easy way to protect your hair and face from the sun
Use sunscreen: Apply sunscreen or UV-protection treatments to your hair and hairline
Moisturize regularly: Keep your hair and scalp moisturized, and speak to your stylist to ensure you use the correct products.
Heat protection: ALWAYS use heat protection to style your hair.
Take a break from heat styling when you can: Using heat styling tools too often can strip your hair of its natural oils
