‘What causes dry hair? And how do I fix it?’ are two of the most frequently asked questions I get in the summer. And what with increased sun exposure, jumping into chlorinated pools, and days at the beach bathing your locks in the salty seas, it’s no surprise! Continue reading “What Causes Dry Dubai Hair?”
There are a number of Daily Must Do’s in order to maximise your hair potential for being healthy and looking beautiful.
Drink approximately 1.5-2 litres of water a day depending on your activity level and climate. Your scalp, just like your skin, can become dehydrated.
Research has shown that drinking black tea can increase the likelihood of anaemia. If you don’t add milk (preferably skim or semi-skim) to your tea, the tannin is free to bind with iron in your body and can therefore reduce your iron stores.
Try not to eat too much salt. This can cause water retention, especially in your scalp.
The energy to form hair cells drops 4 hours after eating a meal.Snack on a complex carbohydrate, such as wholemeal bread, wholemeal crackers, fruit or vegetables, between meals to sustain energy levels to your follicles.
Your hair is composed primarily of protein, so including adequate amounts in your diet is vital to hair growth. We suggest having at least 120g of a lean animal protein with breakfast and lunch. If you are vegan/vegetarian, more than 120g of plant protein needs to be included with these meals.
Ferritin (stored iron) levels are extremely important in terms of hair growth. To help promote healthy iron levels, try to eat red meat at least twice a week, especially if you are menstruating.
Dairy products are a great source of Calcium. However, if you are prone to dandruff, excema or psoriasis, dairy can exacerbate or trigger the condition. Try drinking skimmed milk or substituting with soy or almond milk if necessary.
Always speak with you doctor before making changes to your diet.
Remember during the holy month of Ramadan, the changes in your eating patterns will very likely cause an excessive diffuse shedding some two to three months after Ramadan. Continue reading “Ramadan Kareem.”

A healthy diet is key to healthy hair and hair growth. So – we thought we’d make the road to happy hair days easier for you with these useful weekly dietary tips!
It’s here where a proper nutritional boost is most needed – Energy available to your hair follicles is lowest first thing in the morning! Incorporate a mixture of proteins (at least 120g) with any form of complex carbohydrate.
DHD’s Top Breakfast Picks:
Scrambled eggs on whole-wheat toast with sautéed spinach.
Fresh berries with honey and a pot of low fat cottage cheese.
Smoked salmon and sliced tomatoes on a seeded bagel.
Don’t have time for these culinary delights? Prepare some hard-boiled eggs before going to bed to take to work with you. If you have a fridge at your office, keep a stash of breakfast foods to have along with your morning coffee.
Yes – we’ve all heard of meatless Monday, but here at DHD we have Steaky Saturday. A prime opportunity to embrace Sunday roasts and summer BBQ’s. Red meats are your bodies’ best source of iron – a mineral essential for healthy hair growth, and it’s important that you incorporate it into your diet at least once a week to keep your levels sustained. This is especially important if you are menstruating as you lose blood (and therefore iron) during your period. Low iron, or ferritin (stored iron) levels can cause increased hair shedding – and can also make your hair fall out before it reaches its optimum length.
If you are a vegan or vegetarian, nutritional supplements are often needed to maintain healthy iron levels. While iron is present in certain vegetables and dark, leafy greens, it is not as easily absorbed or found in the same amounts.
Energy to form hair cells drops 4hrs after eating a meal. Snack on a complex carbohydrate, such as whole meal crackers, fresh fruits, dried apricots, or a fresh fruit/vegetable smoothie, to keep your follicles nourished.
Drink approximately 1.5-2 litres of water a day depending on your activity level and climate. Your scalp, just like your skin, can become dehydrated.
Research has shown that drinking black tea can increase the likelihood of anaemia. If you don’t add milk (preferably skim or semi-skim) to your tea, the tannin is free to bind with iron in your body and can therefore reduce your iron stores.
#6 DON’T SKIP MEALS
As well as being bad for your general health, skipping meals can be especially bad news for your hair. As your hair is not a vital tissue, your body will never prioritise its nutritional needs. Think of it this way – If your essential organs aren’t getting the energy they need to function properly , or are receiving the minimum amount of nutrients, your hair cells certainly won’t be!
