Here are some great tips and info on hair in the UAE and how our environment in the desert effects the hair and skin.
The water in the UAE is 70% desalinated ( desalination is the process of removing salt from seawater to make drinkable water) . This can play havoc with hair and skin and is probably one of the top complaints we have upon moving here.
How does desalinated water affect hair?
The chlorine (a harsh oxidiser added to water to kill bacteria) present in desalinated water dries the hair, making it brittle, lackluster and causing it to break. It can also cause harmful scalp build-up that leads to hair breaking off above the external root sheath. So what is frequently perceived as hair loss is in fact hair breaking off at the root. Moreover, this coating of the scalp creates an environment for the follicle that is not beneficial to the new hair trying to emerge. Active chlorine in the hair can cause hair to feel gummy when wet and straw-like when dry.Chlorine can damage the cuticle and proteins of the hair. As an oxidizer, chlorine can cause the air and sun to oxidize hair and worsen the conditions mentioned above.
Did you know there is also Silica in the air?
Silica is a sand-like substance found in desert or volcanic areas such as Dubai. It is usually bound to calcium or magnesium and forms very hard, virtually insoluble deposits. Silica causes many of the same effects as those described above, that is causing the hair to feel dry, but it also weighs hair down and can cause the dandruff-like symptom of flaking.
How does air-conditioning affect hair?
Air-conditioned atmospheres are very drying, taking away the moisture from the hair which is extremely damaging. The hair is also constantly exposed to extremes; hot conditions outdoors and very cool air indoors. Not to mention in often and even rapid successions.
What about climate?
The hot desert sun dries out and fades the hair and long term exposure will turn the hair brittle and cause it to break off. Without sun protection the scalp can experience sun damage. A desert climate can have special hazards that attribute to the loss of hair and faster aging. This is especially noticeable in expats who do not cover up in the sun and engage in sun bathing – their skin becomes prematurely lined and thin. The Gulf climate ruins the complexion, women in the Gulf age faster than those of the same age in other parts of the world.
What about nutrition?
Fresh food and vegetables have often traveled thousands of kilometers to reach the Arabian Gulf and their nutritional value will have depleted. It is generally advisable to take a good quality multivitamin in order to make sure the body gets an optimum supply of vitamins and nutrients.
Good hair starts with a healthy scalp!
Your hair grows from the scalp and depends upon it for its nourishment and well-being, similar to a rich fertile soil needed for plants to grow and flourish. So when the scalp becomes unhealthy it shows in the hair – dryness, dandruff, irritation, spots, inflammation, lank, greasy hair.
