Re: hair fall problem in dubai

umm i read in express that people have been complaining to dewa about their water supply. it is rumoured that the water we get in taps for shower etc is causing the hair fall and causing pre mature grey hair..

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

^ OMG, do u think that is true?

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

oh without doubt! i am sure 100% .. my hair started falling so much after i came to dubai back from my vacay from pak last year... when i went to pak everything changed!

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

hairfall can be due to various reasons!
true ..dubai's climate and water contributes to hairfall but its certainly not the only cause.
there is high incidence of dandruff among asains in uae which causes hairfall!
i used to rinse my hair with mineral water (masafi) and changed my shampoo/ conditioner for my hair type and also included multivitamins...now i have awesome hair :)

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

lol angel! not everyone can afford to rinse their hair with masafi and get expensive multivitamins! .. my mom will kill me if i even suggest doing that .. can’t afford expensive shizz… j/k about the cant afford expensive things part:chai:

i agree that dandruff is their in asians but dandruff can be overcome with different things… the main problem is still the water…

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

So r the authorities looking into it?

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

Well in the newspaper it just said that people complained to DEWA (dubai water and electricity authority) and DEWA was going to look into it. I do not know how much the matter has been resolved etc...

yeah aisha i agree with u....the main problem is water:( ...but still dandruff is not my problem...the only problem i have is hair fall...and i am really worried about it! the hot oil hair treatment helps in this regard or not?

naah..u dont have to use gallons of water to rinse your hair! u can purchase a bottle of water which will cost u dhs 2. if u rinse ur hair every other day..then u will b spending jst 30dhs per month…now dats not xpensive at all.. plus u aint gona do it for the rest of your life..its just for a month to check if the dubai water is causing it!

multivitamins is absolutely a must bcoz nobody can can get all the essential vitamins the hair,skin and nails require thru our typical desi food or the western diet for that matter!

Water is an issue in dubai but its not “the only reason” for hairfall..had it been the only cause..we all would be skinheads by now lol

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

Dubai has clean sea's right ladies! so just jump in and wash and go :D

Many people blame water for hairfall which isn't 100% true..yes if the water has excess chemicals in it it's bad..but one with minerals isn't harmful to the extent u begin loosing hair. Keep a check on u're diet..is it low in iron? dandruff is also a cause for hairfall..and so is mineral deficit..so have all these checked out. Like I said earlier, shampoo's dont stay in u're hair long enuff to bring about drastic changes (they can contain calming agents that gives u the anti-frizz and smooth hair effect)

Alhamdulilah, I've been here 3 years and I don't face such an issue..

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

Oh girls i would just like to say is i do not need any Masafi water bottles cuz alhumdullilah my hair are not affected by Dubai water at all... People get scared and dont get their hair coloured however i do and still mashallah my hair remain healthy so i am covered!

So what is the best solution for dandruff?

Cool..finally someone out here believes that water isnt the only reason for hairfall :)

me in dubai since last 11yrs..and i had only two episodes of hairfall and the cause was nothing but stress due to examz (me a med student)

Not anymore, thanx to illegal dumping of waste sewage.

Gulfnews: Sewage dumped illegally in drains

GMC? DMC?

Yup! Look into u're lifestyle and diet and u'll know the reason for hairfall.. hair products don't damage u're hair as much as a bad diet can. Eat healthy (iron-rich) keep u're scalp clean and dandruff-free, oil u're hair 3 times a week and u'll be fine!

Gina, where were u 3 years ago? Your english is like an english persons, did u grow up in england?

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

ok rupay how does my english sound?

Gina is it bad if i am aneamic? :S

Re: hair fall problem in dubai

some pointers to prevent hair falling

  1. its not good to have a bath and wash your hair at the same time.

  2. when you dry your hair. pat it dry not with the towel dont rub the towel through your hair.

  3. comb your hair dry not wet. as your hair gets more tangled wen its wet, and when you brush it you will end up with more hair falling out, ouch!

  4. try not to get so stressed

i put oil in my hair on friday night (olive, coconut and almond) and washed it out today,
and MashAllah my hair looks silky and feels soft, thnx to Gina ~
