EVERYTHING WE KNOW THAT THE UV BODY HARMFUL TO THE FACE SKIN, BUT SUNNY RAYS MAY ALSO HARM AND THE STRUCTURE OF OUR HAIR. SUMMER IN DUBAI - ONE OF THE WORLD'S Hottest, THEREFORE PARTICULAR ATTENTION IS TO PAY TO PROTECT HEADS.

Our questions about how to protect hair from the harmful effects of sunlight and how to properly care for them in the summer, we were asked to answer an expert on hair health, trichologist and head physician of Vivandi Hair Spa Amin Sheibani.

It is believed that hair burned out in the sun looks beautiful. But how dangerous are the sun, sea and chlorinated water in the pools for hair?

First of all, chlorine is a potential risk, as well as the pH value, despite the fact that in pools the pH is about 7. Chlorine can destroy the lubricant that smoothes hair cuticles. To protect your hair before going to the pool, about 15 minutes before swimming, you can lubricate your hair with oil, such as coke, until completely absorbed.

How would you advise caring for your hair in such weather conditions as in Dubai?

Wash your hair with good quality shampoo! Use a shampoo that does not contain sulfates and parabens. The very “air foam” is given precisely by sulfates, and parabens are preservatives that cause irritation and redness of the eyes after prolonged use. Both of these chemical compounds are harmful, so try to choose shampoos with natural ingredients. Also do not forget about the scalp. Life in the UAE involves contact with desalinated water, so at home it is best to install water filters and wash your hair only with purified water.

What procedure for hair care in the summer could you recommend to our readers?

Perhaps the best effect is achieved thanks to a hair treatment called B.Toxx, which can be done in our salon. It not only makes hair obedient, but also restores protein reserves, giving the hair softness, shine and providing easy combing. The secret to the success of the treatment lies in the concentration of active ingredients, such as black caviar oil, vitamin B5 and vitamin E, as well as collagen, which in combination form a powerful complex that nourishes the hair from the inside, and not just moisturizes its shell. This complex not only helps to get rid of split ends, but also restores the structure of the hair, giving it shine and amazing softness. The result lasts for 2-4 months, allowing you to demonstrate silky smooth curls.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE SHAMPOO CORRECTLY

When choosing a shampoo, it is important to consider the condition of the scalp, and the conditioner should be selected based on the condition of the hair. Thus, if the roots have oily hair and the ends are dry, choose a shampoo for oily scalp and conditioner for dry hair. If you have oily hair, do not use shampoos to moisturize and smooth your hair, or shampoos for curly hair. They tend to moisturize your already oily scalp too much. If you have dry scalp, do not use firming shampoos, as well as shampoos to give your hair volume and strength. They can wash away the moisture so needed by the scalp.
