Living in the UAE means sunshine, desert breezes, and sleek city life—but it also means battling hair frizz, dryness, and damage from intense heat. Whether you're in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or anywhere across the Emirates, the combination of high temperatures, humidity, and air-conditioning can wreak havoc on your hair.
In this guide, we share the top 5 haircare essentials every UAE resident needs to keep their hair smooth, hydrated, and protected all year long—featuring some of the most effective products available on IBS Beauty.
1. Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner
Why It’s Essential
The UAE climate dries out the scalp and hair, leading to brittleness and frizz. A nourishing shampoo and conditioner duo helps restore lost moisture while strengthening the strands.
IBS Beauty Pick:
For hairs that went through chemical processes with Amino Acids. The shampoo cleans, increases resistance and elasticity of the hair that went through chemical processes, such as hair straightening, relaxation.
💡 Pro Tip: Rinse with cool water after washing to lock in hydration and enhance shine.
2. Deep Conditioning Hair Mask
Why It’s Essential
Heat and sand exposure deplete your hair’s moisture levels. A weekly deep conditioning treatment is key to restoring softness and elasticity.
IBS Beauty Pick:
The line Avocado Skala Expert has come to end the weak and opaque hair, to rejuvenate dry and dull hair. Castor oil helps in hair growth, cleaning and removing toxins from the scalp.
💡 How to Use: Apply on clean, damp hair. Leave on for 15–20 minutes with a shower cap, then rinse. Use once a week for best results.
3. Leave-In Conditioner or Hair Serum
Why It’s Essential
Frizz and flyaways are common due to coastal humidity and dry winds. A lightweight leave-in product helps maintain moisture while providing heat and environmental protection.
IBS Beauty Pick:
For hair that went through the chemical processes - strength and flexibility. Advanced technology to recover the vitality of the strands that went through chemical processes, such as straightening and relaxation.
💡 Usage Tip: Apply evenly through mid-lengths and ends after towel-drying. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb.
4. Heat & UV Protection Spray
Why It’s Essential
The UAE’s strong sun and frequent styling can severely damage hair cuticles. A good thermal protectant defends your hair from both heat tools and UV rays.
IBS Beauty Pick:
Sunny Isle Heat Protectant Thermal Spray is designed to help protect hair against damage from heat appliances like blow dryers and styling tools.
💡 Pro Tip: Mist evenly over dry or damp hair before heat styling or stepping into peak sun (10 AM – 4 PM).
5. Wide-Tooth Comb & Satin Hair Accessories
Why It’s Essential
Rough handling and friction from cotton pillowcases or hair ties can worsen dryness and lead to breakage. Gentle detangling and smooth fabric are key to maintaining hair health in dry air.
IBS Beauty Picks:
💡 Why It Works: Reduces moisture loss and prevents friction-related hair breakage. A wide-tooth comb helps detangle without pulling, especially when hair is damp and fragile.
Bonus: Go Clean & Green
If you’re eco-conscious, look for products labeled “vegan,” “cruelty-free,” or “sulfate-free.” Skala’s range is 100% vegan, while Maxiline and CHI products are known for clean, professional-grade formulations—perfect for the UAE’s rising demand for sustainable beauty.
