Hey First name / you,
Summer 2024 is almost over and the fall is right around the corner 🍂 Here in Dubai, everyone is back from their vacations gearing up to get their kids back to school and getting back into their work routines. This means hitting the gym and booking all the self-care appointments 💅
Whether you're living in the UAE or in North America, you should absolutely TLC your hair post summer sun, sand and swimming.
I'm gonna do a deep dive and breakdown of your haircare routine, okay? Let's get to it.
✨YOUR SHAMPOO IS EVERYTHING✨
Do you usually skimp on your shampoo and run straight to spending your money on masks and oils?
Your haircare starts with your shampoo or cleanser. Imagine using a cheap skin cleanser, and expecting a nice moisturizer to make your skin supple. I did that for years, until I invested in a professional skin cleanser from Image that's given me the skin of my dreams. Everything you apply after a good skin cleanser gets absorbed into your skin tenfold.
Same with haircare. When you use a cheap shampoo and apply a thick mask or expensive oils, the mask won't absorb the way it's meant to, and the oil will just sit on top of the hair. The shampoo would have done damage by stripping all your natural oils and shine and caused a ton of frizz that you can't then tame with a mask.
Some cheap shampoos just deposit cheap waxes and oils that cause buildup and your hair to feel greasy and dull the next day.
🧖♀️ A professional shampoo is KEY to a good haircare regimen.
So many of you have asked me what brands I recommend for haircare, so here they are:
- Kevin Murphy
- Authentic Beauty Concept (the Replenish line)
- Living Proof
- Davines
- Design.Me (if you're in Canada)
Try to purchase these brands from a local salon because I'm not sure if the online sites are legit (the jury is out on this).
