Hijab Hair Care: Beating Buildup in Dubai’s Water

PureBlue Solutions – Healthier, Hydrated Hair Right at Your Doorstep

Donning a hijab is a gorgeous way of showing one’s faith and identity, nevertheless, for most women in the UAE, the maintenance of good hair under the hijab is a big dilemma. The long duration of wearing the hijab along with Dubai’s hard water leads to such problems as dryness, breakage, buildup, and scalp irritation.

If your hair is dull, your scalp is flaking, or it is getting excessively tangled, then we notify you that you are not the only one struggling and you are not doing anything wrong. A big part is played by the environment, and the good news is: the correct routine can change your hair’s destiny.

At PureBlue, we think that shower time is where the hydration for hair starts. Now let us show you what to do in terms of hair care during hijab wearing and how to shield your hair from the negative influences of Dubai’s hard water.

Recognizing the Actual Problem: Hard Water in Dubai

• Dubai’s water supply has a fairly elevated chlorine content (/). While it technically meets health standards for daily consumption, it is worse for one’s hair over time. Naive by-products from the water’s mineral deposits cause dullness and a coarse texture (i.e. hard to comb and style).
• Chlorine takes away the natural oils, leading to dryness and sometimes even breaking.
• Scalp inflammation is a problem when a person wears a covering on the head for a long time.
• Frizz and tangling become worse because of no moisture retention.

The problems are even multiplied for women who wear a hijab daily since the scalp is under a covering which makes it a warm place for buildup and oil imbalance to flourish.

How Hijab Affects Your Hair Health

Many women experience:

• Sweaty scalp from heat and humidity
• Flat roots, lack of volume.
• Friction breakage between the hijab and hair
• Odor or itchiness resulting from trapped moisture

But don’t be concerned; with the right habits established and protection, your hair can stay fresh, healthy, and strong throughout the week.

Hijab-Friendly Hair Care Tips to Beat Hard Water Damage

1. Use a Shower Filter Daily

This is the single most effective solution.

The shower filter of PureBlue, which is highly lauded by awards, is capable of reducing the amount of chlorine present in water by 98%, besides getting rid of heavy metals, and thus water quality is improved at once.

Cleaner water means not only cleaner scalp but also hydrated hair.

Many women notice:

• Less hair fall
• Softer texture
• Reduced frizz
• Healthier scalp within weeks

2. Scalp Dryness Preserved Prior to Hijab Use

Wearing a hijab on hair that is still wet opens up the door for these problems:

• Fungus
• Odor
• Split ends
• Flat, greasy roots
• Only cover your roots when they are totally air-dried or very gently blow-dried.

3. Go for Silk or Satin Undercaps

The breakage of hair is greatly influenced by the friction caused by fabrics.

Silk or satin undercaps do away with friction but at the same time, they keep the moisture in your hair and through that, they also minimize the pulling.

4. Wash Your Hair With A Gentle Shampoo That Is Sulfate-Free

Hard water together with the use of chemical-full shampoos does more harm than the latter alone. However, the use of sulfate-free, hydrating and mineral-removing shampoos will ensure that a good balance is maintained on your scalp.

Final Thoughts: Your Hair Deserves Better Water

Hiding beautiful hair under the hijab is not about doing more but rather about preventing it from the damaging factors. Although tough, Dubai’s water can be handled to your advantage with the right routine and PureBlue’s state-of-the-art shower filtration, thus, your hair remains soft, strong, fresh, and hydrated all year round.
