Why hair oil should be in your essentials (despite running away from it in your childhood).
Let’s be honest, Dubai’s humidity is enough to make a mermaid jealous of your mane. This is a recipe for hair that resembles tumbleweeds blowing in the wind. But don’t worry. Hair oil is a secret weapon that can help you avoid using a gallon of leave-in conditioner.
Yes, that’s right. oil. Not the stuff your grandma used to braid your hair, but a luxurious modern elixir that’s about to become your new best friend.
These hair oils are lightweight, absorb quickly, and nourish and protect your hair, leaving it super shiny.
Hydration hero: UAE heat is a humidity-sucking monster. Hair oil acts like a shield, locking in moisture and preventing your hair from becoming dry and brittle. Think of it like a little raincoat that you put on your hair.
Frizz Fighter: Humidity? We don’t know her! Hair oils reduce frizz by smoothing the hair cuticle, leaving you with smooth, manageable hair that can withstand even the heaviest of Dubai’s downpours (well, maybe not that heavy of a downpour, but you get the idea. Masu).
Sun savior: Some hair oils, such as argan oil, provide natural SPF protection and protect your hair from the harsh summer sun. Of course, it doesn’t replace sunscreen, but it’s a nice bonus.
Split-end slayer: Summer fun means more pool time, which can wreak havoc on your hair. Hair oil helps prevent split ends by strengthening your hair and keeping it healthy.
Now for the good part, let’s talk about the product.
Here are some brands that are revolutionizing the hair oil world. All available here in the UAE.
Fable & Mane: This homegrown hero offers a range of hair oils infused with luxurious ingredients like Moroccan argan oil and Indian gooseberry. The lightweight formula is perfect for all hair types and leaves your hair well-nourished and frizz-free.
Gisou: Made with pure honey-infused argan oil, Gisou hair oil is a celebrity favorite for a reason. Gives incredible shine, repairs damage and smells divine.
Olaplex: Known for bonding hair repair treatments, Olaplex also offers amazing hair oils. This is a great option for those with color-treated or damaged hair, as it helps strengthen strands while adding shine and manageability.
So throw away your greasy stereotypes. Your hair (and your summer selfies) will thank you for it.
