You know that feeling when you step out of the salon, freshly colored hair catching the light just right? That’s confidence bottled in strands. Now fast-forward a few sweaty weeks in the summer sun, and your color—be it bold red, platinum blonde, or rich brunette—starts to feel… faded. Limp. Lifeless.
Let’s be honest: Dubai and Abu Dhabi summers aren’t exactly hair-friendly. Between blazing sun, salty air, chlorinated pools, and sky-high humidity, your beautifully colored hair is under attack. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to settle for dull, discolored hair just because it’s hot outside.
At GlowTerra Clean Beauty, we believe your summer hair care routine deserves the same attention as your skincare. We’ve pulled together real-world tips (no fluff here!) to help you preserve your hair color—without sacrificing your lifestyle.
Whether you’re brunching by the Marina, heading to the desert, or lounging by the pool, these tips and natural hair products in Dubai and Abu Dhabi will keep your color fresh, your hair healthy, and your confidence high.
Tip 1: Don't Let the Sun Steal Your Shine
The sun might be your skin’s worst enemy—but guess what? It’s also not your hair’s best friend. UV rays literally break down your hair’s pigment, leaving your color looking brassy or washed out.
What to do:
Before stepping outside, give your hair a spritz of Rahua Hydration Detangler + Uv Barrier—a lightweight UV color protection spray designed to keep harmful rays at bay. It won’t weigh your hair down, and it adds a touch of softness while it protects.
Extra tip: If you’re spending hours outdoors, wear a wide-brimmed hat or scarf. It’s not just a style statement; it’s your first layer of defense.

Tip 2: Hydrate Like Your Hair Depends On It (Because It Does)
Summer heat doesn’t just dehydrate you—it dehydrates your hair too. And dry hair loses color faster. That rich salon color you spent hours achieving? Gone in weeks if your hair’s thirsty.
GlowTerra Clean Beauty favorites for hydration:
- Passion Labs Shampoo – A gentle color-protecting hair shampoo that won’t strip your shade.
- Passion Labs Hydrating Conditioner – A color-safe conditioner that seals the cuticle and locks in vibrancy.
- Passion Labs Hair Mask – A once-a-week treatment that works wonders. Think of it as a spa day for your strands—a color protection hair mask that restores moisture, shine, and elasticity.
Pro tip: Make this a non-negotiable. Hydrated hair reflects more light and holds color longer. Simple as that.

Tip 3: Before You Swim, Think Smart
You’ve probably heard that chlorine and saltwater are brutal on color. But most people don’t know why—they strip away the outer layer of your hair shaft, taking your expensive dye job with it.
How to prevent it:
- Wet your hair with regular water before swimming (like a sponge, if your hair’s already full of clean water, it won’t absorb the bad stuff).
- Then, apply Rahua Omega 9 Hair Mask—this creates a protective barrier between your hair and the pool/ocean.
- After swimming, rinse again and finish with Rahua Hydration Detangler for hydration and added UV defense.
These two minutes of prep can make a world of difference.

Tip 4: Fight Frizz Without Sacrificing Color
Dubai humidity can turn even the sleekest styles into a puffy mess—and frizz means raised cuticles, which means your hair color leaks out faster. The trick? Seal and smooth.
Add Rahua Leave-In Treatment Light to your routine—a non-greasy smoothening hair serum that adds gloss, keeps strands in place, and fends off that dreaded halo of frizz.
Real talk: This isn’t just about aesthetics. Frizz is literally your hair’s way of telling you it’s unhappy. Treat it well, and your color will stay happier, too.

Tip 5: Ditch the Heat (At Least a Little)
We get it—you love your curling wand. But every time you crank that heat up, you’re slowly cooking your color away. Especially in summer, when your hair’s already stressed.
Solution: Give your hot tools a break. Let your hair air-dry, embrace its natural texture, and when you absolutely must style—use protection.
Rahua Hydration Detangler + Uv Barrier is your secret weapon: a multitasking leave-in spray that adds hydration, detangles, and acts as a heat shield.
Your hair will feel better. And your color will last way longer.

Why Natural Hair Products in Dubai Matter More in Summer
Here’s the hard truth: Most drugstore products are loaded with sulfates, silicones, and synthetic junk that your hair doesn’t need—especially if it’s been dyed.
Why we care:
At GlowTerra Clean Beauty, we’re big believers in natural hair products that actually nourish your hair without harming it. That’s why we’ve partnered with Rahua & Passion Labs, a brand that blends science with sustainability—no toxic buildup, no shortcuts.
Their products aren’t just safe for color-treated hair—they’re designed to make it look better, for longer.
