Keratin treatments have become the go-to for obtaining smooth, frizz-free, easy-to-manage, sleek hair. This is especially true in a city like Dubai, where extreme heat and humidity can leave even the most amazing blowout looking like a puffball. While a keratin treatment will work wonders on your hair, the aftercare will make the biggest difference in how long the silky softness lasts.
If you've recently had a keratin treatment — or are thinking about getting one — this guide is your must-read for keeping your hair flawless even in 40°C heat.
Why Dubai’s Climate Challenges Post-Keratin Hair
Dubai’s climate is hot and dry for most of the year, and humid during the summer. This means:
Very high heat can cause sweat to form at the roots, which can leave the hair frizzy or limp.
Humidity lifts and swells the hair shaft and works against the smoothing effect of keratin.
Intense sun can dry out treated hair, bleach color, and fade the keratin over time.
Hard water from your shower can strip the keratin and cause build-up on the hair as well.
ALL of the above can shorten your treatment if you aren't careful. BUT BEING CAREFUL can mean you can enjoy your keratin glow for weeks -- even months!
1. Use a Sulfate-Free, Keratin-Safe Shampoo & Conditioner
Regular shampoos often contain sulfates and salts that break down keratin. Invest in a sulfate-free, low-pH shampoo specifically made for chemically treated or keratin-smoothed hair. This gentle formula will cleanse without stripping away the treatment.
Pro Tip: Wash your hair only 2–3 times a week to preserve the treatment longer.
2. Protect Hair from the Sun and Heat
UV rays don’t just affect your skin — they can damage and dry out your hair too. In Dubai’s intense sun, consider:
Wearing a hat or scarf when outside
Using a UV-protectant leave-in spray
Minimizing direct sun exposure, especially after a fresh treatment
Also, never forget to use a heat protectant before blow-drying or styling with heat tools. Even though your hair is smooth, too much heat without protection can weaken the keratin.
3. Install a Shower Filter
Dubai’s water tends to be hard, containing minerals that can strip your hair and cause dullness. A shower filter can soften the water, reducing mineral buildup and helping your keratin treatment last longer. It’s a simple but powerful upgrade for your haircare routine.
4. Sleep Like a Silk Queen
Friction = frizz. Swap your cotton pillowcase for a silk or satin one. This helps reduce tangling, dryness, and frizz while you sleep. You’ll wake up with smoother, shinier hair — and your keratin will stay intact longer.
5. Treat Your Hair to Deep Hydration
A keratin treatment smooths and seals, but over time, your hair still needs moisture. Use a deep-conditioning mask once a week to replenish hydration. Look for ingredients like argan oil, keratin peptides, coconut oil, and shea butter.
Bonus: Schedule a monthly hair spa session to nourish and refresh your strands.
6. Avoid Chlorine and Salt Water (or Be Smart About It)
Chlorine (in pools) and salt water (at the beach) are keratin’s worst enemies. They dry out your hair and degrade the treatment quickly.
If you plan to swim:
Apply a protective hair oil or conditioner beforehand
Wear a swim cap, or at least tie your hair up
Rinse your hair immediately after with clean water
💇♀️ 7. Touch-Up Treatments Keep It Going
Even with perfect care, no keratin treatment lasts forever. But instead of waiting for frizz to return, schedule mini touch-ups or express keratin boosters every 6–8 weeks to keep your hair glassy-smooth year-round.
