Hair Loss & Scalp Problems During Dubai Summers

Causes, Fixes & IBS Beauty Picks
Dubai summers are gorgeous and tough on hair. High UV, dry desert air, sweat, dust, and pool days can trigger scalp dryness, dandruff, excess oil, breakage, and even seasonal shedding.
(Quick science: seasonal shedding can spike when temperature and humidity shift, nudging more hairs into the natural “shedding” phase.)
Since 2007, International Beauty Supplies (IBS Beauty) has curated global haircare that works for Gulf conditions so you can protect your scalp, strengthen strands, and keep your style thriving all summer.
What goes wrong in summer?
Heat & UV: Weakens the cuticle and can inflame the scalp.
Dry air & A/C: Pull moisture from hair and scalp, causing tightness, flakes, and frizz.
Sweat, dust & buildup: Clog follicles, leading to itch and irritation.
Chlorine & saltwater: Strip natural oils and roughen the cuticle—hello, breakage.
Common summer symptoms
Noticeable hair fall or seasonal shedding
Dry, itchy, or flaky scalp
Greasy roots but dry lengths
Brittle strands, split ends, and breakage
Your summer playbook (habits that help)
Cover up: Wear a hat/scarf during peak sun.
Hydrate inside & out: Drink water; add indoor humidity if possible.
Wash smart: Cleanse regularly with gentle formulas; focus on the scalp.
Dial down heat tools: Air-dry or use low heat.
Rinse post-swim: Shower ASAP after pools or the sea to remove chlorine/salt.
