Hair Colour at Home in UAE: Best Shades to Buy at IBS Beauty

Colouring Hair at Home in Dubai — What You Need to Know

At-home hair colouring is increasingly popular across the UAE and GCC — saving salon fees while still achieving professional-looking results. But Dubai's climate adds a layer of complexity: the hard water and strong UV here can cause colour to fade faster, shift warmer, or lift unevenly. Choosing a quality colour product and following a proper colour care routine extends your results significantly.

IBS Beauty stocks a curated selection of professional hair colour shades and essential colour tools to make at-home colouring in the UAE safe, precise, and long-lasting.

Available Hair Colour Shades at IBS Beauty

1) Black (1.0)

A deep, rich true black with a blue-toned undertone that reads as natural and lustrous in both indoor and outdoor UAE lighting. One of the most requested shades in the region — covers grey fully and provides a sharp, defined finish. Ideal for dark hair types looking to refresh depth or cover regrowth.

2) Dark Brown (3.0)

A natural-looking dark brown with warm undertones that complements a wide range of UAE and South Asian skin tones beautifully. Dark brown is the most versatile and forgiving shade for at-home colouring — less contrast than black, more depth than medium brown, and easier to correct if anything goes slightly off.

3) Light Blonde (8.0)

A classic warm-toned light blonde suitable for pre-lightened or naturally light hair. For UAE residents with medium brown hair looking to go lighter, this shade achieves a warm honey blonde result. Important: for best results on darker hair in Dubai, a pre-lightening step may be needed — or visit a professional colourist for the lightening stage.

4) Pearl Platinum Blonde (10.9)

The most dramatic shade in the range — a cool-toned, almost silver-white platinum blonde. This is an advanced shade best suited to already-lightened or naturally blonde hair. It creates a fashion-forward, editorial look that is increasingly popular among Dubai's cosmopolitan beauty community. Pair with a purple/toning shampoo post-colour to maintain coolness and prevent brassiness in UAE sunlight.

Essential Tools for At-Home Colouring

IBS Beauty also stocks essential styling accessories that make at-home colouring safer and more professional:

•        Edge brush (Smooth Thick Edge Brush) — for precise application around the hairline

•        Hair styler (Smooth Thick Hair Styler) — for sectioning and smoothing during application

•        Gloves — always included in professional colour kits; protect your hands from staining

Step-by-Step At-Home Hair Colouring for UAE

1.     Perform a patch test 48 hours before colouring — even with familiar shades.

2.     Start with dry, unwashed hair. Natural oils protect the scalp during colouring.

3.     Section hair into 4 quadrants. Work from root to tip in each section.

4.     Set a timer and follow the processing time on the product exactly. Dubai's warmth can speed up development slightly — check 5 minutes early on first use.

5.     Rinse thoroughly with cool water until the water runs completely clear.

6.     Apply a colour-protecting conditioner immediately after rinsing.

7.     Allow to air dry or diffuse on low — avoid high heat immediately after colouring.

Making Your Colour Last Longer in UAE

•        Use a sulphate-free shampoo for coloured hair — regular shampoos strip colour up to 50% faster

•        Rinse with cool or cold water — hot water opens the cuticle and leaches colour molecules

•        Apply a UV-protective hair oil or spray before going outdoors — Dubai's UV fades colour quickly

•        Do a colour-depositing gloss treatment once a month to refresh tone between colouring sessions

•        For blonde shades, use a purple toning shampoo weekly to neutralise brassy warmth from UAE sun exposure
