How to Maintain Your Hair After a Salon Treatment in Dubai: Tips and Tricks

Introduction:

Dubai’s climate, with its heat, humidity, and occasional dryness, can take a toll on your hair, especially after a salon treatment. Whether you've just had a keratin treatment, hair coloring, or a nourishing hair spa, maintaining the results requires extra care. In this guide, we will share essential tips and tricks to help you keep your hair healthy, shiny, and salon-fresh for longer.

1. Follow Post-Treatment Instructions

Every hair treatment comes with specific aftercare guidelines provided by your stylist. These instructions are crucial as they are tailored to the specific treatment you received. Some treatments require you to avoid washing your hair for a certain period, while others may need special care in the first few days. Always follow your stylist’s advice to ensure the best results.

2. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner

Sulfates are harsh detergents found in many shampoos that can strip your hair of essential oils and moisture. After a treatment, using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner will help maintain the integrity of your treated hair. These products are gentler and help preserve moisture, prolonging the effects of your treatment.

3. Avoid Frequent Washing

Overwashing can strip your hair of natural oils and weaken the treatment effects. Try to wash your hair only two to three times a week. If your scalp gets oily between washes, consider using a dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and keep your hair fresh.

4. Protect Your Hair While Sleeping

Friction between your hair and pillowcase can cause frizz and breakage. To avoid this, use a silk or satin pillowcase, which creates less friction than cotton. You can also wrap your hair in a silk scarf or use a loose braid to keep it tangle-free while you sleep.

5. Minimize Heat Styling

Excessive use of heat styling tools like straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers can damage treated hair. If you must use heat, apply a heat protectant spray before styling to create a barrier against damage. Also, try air-drying your hair whenever possible to reduce heat exposure.

6. Deep Condition Regularly

Hydration is key to maintaining soft and smooth hair after treatment. Use a deep conditioning mask at least once a week to replenish moisture and keep your hair healthy. Look for products that contain natural oils like argan oil, coconut oil, or shea butter for maximum hydration.

7. Trim Your Hair Regularly

Split ends can make your hair look frizzy and unhealthy. Regular trims every 6 to 8 weeks help maintain the shape and health of your hair. Trimming prevents split ends from traveling up the hair shaft and keeps your hair looking fresh and polished.

8. Avoid Harsh Chemical Treatments

If you’ve recently undergone a hair treatment, avoid exposing your hair to additional chemical processes like bleaching or perming for at least a few months. Too many treatments in a short period can weaken your hair structure and lead to breakage.

9. Protect Your Hair from Environmental Damage

UV rays, pollution, and humidity can affect treated hair. When stepping out, wear a hat or use a UV protection spray to shield your hair from sun damage. If you swim frequently, protect your hair by wearing a swim cap and rinsing with clean water before and after swimming to minimize chlorine absorption.

10. Maintain a Healthy Diet

Healthy hair starts from within. A well-balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins helps maintain strong and shiny hair. Include foods like eggs, nuts, fish, leafy greens, and avocados in your diet to provide essential nutrients for hair health.

11. Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water keeps your hair hydrated from the inside out. Dehydration can lead to dry, brittle hair that is prone to breakage. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day to maintain healthy hair.

12. Avoid Over Brushing

Brushing your hair too frequently can lead to unnecessary stress and breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to gently detangle your hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to prevent breakage.

13. Opt for Protective Hairstyles

Loose braids, buns, or ponytails help protect your hair from friction and environmental damage. However, avoid tight hairstyles that can put excessive tension on your hair roots, leading to hair loss over time.

Conclusion

Maintaining your hair after treatment doesn’t have to be complicated. By following these tips and tricks, you can prolong the effects of your treatment and keep your hair looking healthy and vibrant. Simple changes like using sulfate-free products, avoiding excessive heat styling, deep conditioning regularly, and protecting your hair from environmental damage can make a significant difference. Remember, consistency is key to achieving long-lasting, beautiful hair. Take care of your hair, and it will reward you with shine, strength, and softness for months to come!

Reaction to “Werepapas” (S6 E5)

Most episodes from seasons 1 through 4 are named after the Monster of the Week™. The titles of the ones that aren’t (“Felix" and “Gabriel Agreste”) allude to the person genuinely responsible for the episode’s crisis. “Werepapas” follows that pattern: Ringmaster was the villain, but the Werepapas—Emil and Johnny—caused all the trouble.

The opening scene suggests that Emilie’s illness dominated Adrien’s early childhood, setting him up for further trauma after she “disappeared”. Since he knew she was critically ill, maybe he knew she didn’t just vanish but he didn’t dare admit it.

This episode features numerous subtle callbacks to “Representation”, where Marinette (and the audience) learned about the Graham de Vanily sisters’ upbringing. We already knew their parents were cold and disapproving with high expectations, although it’s likely this was primarily Emil’s influence considering he barely allowed Millie to speak.

On that note, it’s well-known that children in abusive families often find themselves mired in abusive dynamics as adults, as either victims or abusers. They subconsciously recreate the situations they experienced in childhood because it’s familiar, even if unwanted. Both sisters ended up married to controlling tyrants, just as their mother did. There’s a slight difference, though: Colt apparently started that way and Amelie married him reluctantly. Emilie defied her family to marry Gabriel, and he was a kind and loving husband once. But over the years he changed, possibly as a reaction to the stress of his wife’s illness and his desperate search for a cure.

There’s been a concerted effort (probably on Nathalie’s part) to warm up Maison Agreste’s sterile ambiance. But festooning the house with greenery can only do so much, and there are still parts of the house—and parts of the family legacy—that remain shuttered and shrouded.

Parents watching this series with their kids may giggle at “Millie (Graham de) Vanily” and the reference to a certain R&B act of yesteryear. But anyone who knows the history of the duo will get the hidden meaning: Milli Vanilli didn’t perform any of the vocals on “their” songs, and Millie doesn’t have a voice of her own either.

Johnny and Gabrielle are huge fans of Jagged Stone… imagine if they found out Adrien is friends with his son… and Adrien is dating his ex-girlfriend!

After several episodes where Marinette’s assorted complexes directly or indirectly caused someone’s akumatization, it’s refreshing to see a storyline where Marinette fixes things instead of messing them up. She even weaponizes her infamous clumsiness with that “accidental” spill on the custody contract. Too bad Emil had a duplicate.

Ever since the show introduced the Graham de Vanily twin rings, it was implied they had some legendary mystical ability aside from serving as Adrien’s amok. It turns out they had power after all: they symbolize the fraught history between the Graham de Vanily and Agreste families. Ladybug breaking the rings to destroy the akuma within them parallels Marinette’s role in liberating Adrien from his parents' and grandparents' control, allowing him to choose his own guardian and his own future.

Why didn't breaking the rings kill Adrien if they contain his amok? Here's a theory: before Gabriel made his wish, he had counterfeits made and gave those to Adrien, hiding the ring containing the amok someplace no one could recover and destroy it. There's precedent for that theory--it's exactly what Felix did after he stole Gabriel's ring, as seen in "Gabriel Agreste".

Hi mom! I know language acquisition is important but I’ve been having a hard time with finding YouTubers or French tv I’d like. French culture is very different, to put it mildly, and it seems like with movies it’s either rated R or for children. Do you have any “happy medium” recommendations? And tips on finding French YouTubers that don’t just speak English?

Hi dear,

When it comes to movies, I would recommend romance or comedies as well as older content in particular:

Amelie, La délicatesse (most Tautou stuff)

Les petits mouchoirs

Les romantiques anonymes

Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire

Anything Jacques Tati

Anything Jean Cocteau (bit more dramatic)

Anything Jacques Demy

Anything Eric Rohmer (except Perceval)

Anything French wave (Godard, Varda, Truffaut), very slow

Anything Lisa Azuelos (my fav is Une rencontre), more modern

Anything Cédric Klapisch

La grande vadrouille or other De Funès/Oury movies if you are a bit more advanced

And of course dubbed beloved animated movies

When it comes to shows:

Dix pour cent

Bref 1 & 2

Lupin

Code Lyoko (animated)

Plus belle la vie (cheesy soap opera)

Les aventures de Tintin (animated)

Demain nous appartient (dramatic soap opera)

Le bureau des légendes

Les malheurs de Sophie (animated)

Clem

Joséphine l'ange gardien (cliché, been on forever)

Pamela Rose (parody)

Maison close

Le flambeau if you're really advanced

And of course dubbed shows (search "épisode 1 français" on Youtube)

When it comes to Youtubers (obviously a difficult shopping list when I don't know your level nor your preferences):

Et pourquoi pas Coline and Natoo for the girlies

Amixem and Inoxtag for big US-type concepts

Squeezie, Cyprien, and McFly et Carlito for mainstream content

Jigmé for food/nature, borderline off-grid living

Dr Nozman for science, Charlie Danger for history

Karambolage via Arte for general trivia

Cyrus North for philosophy

Nico Mathieux, Ulysse Lubin, Léa Camillieri for adventure

(Gurky if you want a taste of Québecois accent)

Hope this helps and thank you for your patience! x

I woke up hyperaware of every inch of my body. A bone must be missing, a tooth or two my hair feels like an extension of the pillow that i hide my dreams underneath

And my head is too heavy with the weight of everything I said i will think about later…

Childhood, adolescence, adulthood

It all overlaps sometimes, and I worry that my childhood is all I’m going to grow up to live and relive.

I worry that it’s a punishment,

Like Prometheus; that I’ll spend my nights picking at it trying to cleanse myself from all that a young version of me wasn’t strong enough to process

only to wake up and realize I’m carrying it between my ribs again.

To be pregnant with another girl that will relive my life like I’m reliving my mothers.

I’m overthinking again

Stages of life like gates to the many graveyard’s that I have built inside me.

A sanctuary

A place of residence to all the feelings i had no time to over analyze.

I digged my phone from underneath the pillow, something must be said..

A phantom of the words that are trying to escape is at hands reach..

An Aura. A migraine.

Its 04:51 am. The sun didn’t rise yet, why am I awake again?

Thoughts are fighting each other for a way out, like a newborn waiting to be called by a name, any would be fine; as long as it gets acknowledgment.

On my way to the bathroom, i stumbled upon keywords

Some that I believe i missed the night before..

When anxiety was eating another pathway for itself. A way out, out of my brain

Necrosis.

I spent the past couple of months studying all that can go wrong in a woman’s body.

Starting from puberty highlighting child bearing period and ending with menopause.

It’s all prewritten

And I get mad with rage because improvisations are treated like a sin that can never be forgiven.

I watched women bleeding incomplete lives from between their legs, that without shedding a tear.

We’re used to that, aren’t we ?

Bleeding.

And incomplete lives.

Distant dreams of motherhood bleeding classic tragedies into an ink jar

to be hand written as another passage in the wrenching history of all the fabricated religious books that swore by women.

Épisode 9

Le lendemain, Gabin se tenait devant la fenêtre du salon, sa cigarette lui brûlait les doigts, il restait immobile, l'air absent de toutes pensées.

Il s'assit sur le canapé, puis vérifia son sac de voyage remplit de ses dernières emplettes. Gabin vérifia encore une fois ses papiers d'identité. Tout était en ordre , il était prêt à partir, il n'avait plus qu'à poser les charges d'explosif, bien réparties il ne resterait plus grand chose de cet appartement. Il était content de son dernier repas , il l'avait dégusté avec ferveur, il savait que c'etait sa dernière tranche de foie avant de tout faire péter.

Gabin se souvint soudainement du soir où ils avaient fait l'amour sous une porte cochère, c'était à l'initiative d'Amelie, il avait cèdé volontiers à ses désirs. Ils avaient beaucoup rit en aperçevant les caméras au-dessus de leurs têtes.

En pensant à cette soirée, il plaçait tranquillement ses charges explosives , il en plaça deux sur le congélateur où se trouvait le corps d'Amelie.

Il se servit un verre de vodka.

- nous-y voilà ! une page de tournée ! grogna t-il

- à l'avenir ! dit-il en levant un verre à nouveau remplit

C'était en novembre denier, ils avaient loué une maison pour quelques jours, arrivés là-bas, trempés par la pluie, Gabin se souvient que le maquillage d'Amelie coulait sur ses joues ce qui lui donnait un air sauvage. Gabin se souvient très bien qu'il s'était demandé si elle allait lui arracher ses vêtements, le gifler, le fouetter, ses phantasmes tournaient en boucle à cet instant là.

Amelie l'avait plaqué contre un mur et dit:

- je t'aime

Sans qu'il comprenne comment il se retrouva Allongé avec son amie au-dessus de lui , elle avait jouit en criant, il s'en souvenait très bien.

Ils étaient restés l'un contre l'autre, haletant, il lui avait caressé les cheveux en lui murmurant des mots doux à l'oreille.

- Tu es heureuse ? avait-il demandé

- Hum ! ouï peut-être

- ne me dit pas non ! ...

Amelie sourit en écartant une mèche de son oeil

- idiot ! rétorqua t-elle

C'est pendant ce séjour qu'il avait pris la décision de l'empoisonner quand ils reviendraient. Il n'était pas sûr d'elle et il savait qu'il manquait de confiance en lui. Il ne voulait plus être quitté, alors il agirait.

Je vais te montrer une de mes vidéos que j'ai apporté lui avait dit Gabin avant de l'embrasser.

Elle s'était enveloppée dans une couverture et s'était installée devant le poste.

Gabin l'avait trouvé très belle, il avait préparé un plateau pour eux deux. Il expliqua rapidement que c'était l'histoire du dragon, de la femme du dragon avec une tête de vampire.

Sur l'écran, la ville apparue toute illuminée, la musique étrange annonçait le dragon arrivant de loin, il se dirigea vers la cathédrale, il dépassa un grand pilier puis traversa une esplanade pour entrer dans l'édifice. Le monument est tellement haut qu'il donne l'impression de toucher le ciel.

Un homme surgit de l'ombre , il grimpa sur le dragon puis il lui transperça le dos en lui assenant des coups d'épée.

Le dragon dans un sursaut le fit tomber.

A ce moment là, Gabin pensa à sa mère, étant sûr que le dragon c'était elle. Petit il sentait les muscles de sa mère quand elle le serrait très fort. Elle lui transmettait certainement ses désirs, son amour. Il se rappelle qu'il étouffait dans ses bras là . il aurait aimé être à la place de l'homme sortit de l'ombre mais à l'époque il était trop petit.

Un autre personnage assistait au loin à la scène mais on le distinguait très mal.

La vidéo avait connu un succès d'estime , elle était virale sur le net. Grâce à ce court métrage, Gabin eût une certaine reconnaissance.

Ils restèrent affalés devant la télé.

- le tatouage du dragon ça vient de là ? demanda Amelie

- Oui...

Et il avait rajouté :

- ça me rapporte du fric et j'y tiens c'est sentimental

- j'ai aimé ton film dit Amelie

Gabin se souvint qu'il était parti dans ses pensées.

Il ne voulait pas être quitté, il tenait à elle comme à la prunelle de ses yeux , tout mais pas cela alors quand ils reviendraient il l'endormirait pour toujours.

J25 - Vendredi 04/04 : retour maison !

Ça y est, c’est le grand jour. On rentre à la maison. La journée s’articule autour de ce grand évènement : on range les habits, les jouets, on enlève toute la déco des murs. Les Medecins me donnent les dernières informations et organisent la suite du suivi. Je reçois des ordonnances, certaines pour l’hôpital certaines pour les labo, et on m’explique un peu comment agencer tout cela. La diététicienne passe me voir une dernière fois, les infirmières profitent encore d’Amélie... elles sont tristes de son départ mais heureuse pour nous. Dehors il fait beau, il y a du vent, je vois que la mer est agitée. De mon côté je suis un peu au radar, essaye de mémoriser toutes les informations, avance une mission après l’autre sans trop réfléchir et laisser monter l’appréhension de ce qui m’attend à la maison dans le quotidien.

Je passe quelques appels administratifs puis donne à Amelie son repas, devant petit ours brun (j’en peux plus de celui-là)…

L’après-midi je descends à la pharmacie dans les sous sols de l’hôpital… c’est glauque comme endroit. J’ai la boule au ventre. Je leur donne l’ordonnance et on met environ 10minutes à comprendre, calculette à la main, combien ils nous fait de boîtes pour un mois… au final il nous en faudra pas moins de 6 ! La demande d’ALD 17 a été faite la veille donc on ne sait pas si il y a une prise en charge ou pas. La pharmacienne me demande un chèque de caution en attendant la réponse. Je n’ai pas mon chéquier. Zut ! Il faut remonter 5 étages et refaire tout le labyrinthe… finalement sa collègue lui dit que c’est bon, c’est vu avec le docteur courbette, et que pour ce mois on fait « comme ça ». Je repars donc avec mon carton de boites de monogene et ma boîte de vitamines dans les meandres de l’hôpital, sans avoir rien payé… (et filme mon retour pour pouvoir le prendre en marche arrière dans un mois).

J’attends l’ascenseur qui ne se décide pas à venir jusqu’au sous-sol et tombe nez à nez avec Mike : c’est la surprise ! Moi de le retrouver ici, et lui de se retrouver dans le sous-sol 🤣

On remonte dans la chambre, et commence à charger les affaires, tout en finalisons les papiers. Amelie, en profite pour avoir un dernier massage de Aude, ou bien Aude en profité pour passer une dernière fois amelie 🥰…

Le départ se fait sentir. On salue tout le monde, récupère les derniers comptes rendus et le carnet de santé. Mes larmes coulent.

On passe par le service d’accueil pour la sortie. Encore de la paperasse, je règle l’hospitalisation des urgences du 02/03 et demande la facture pour ce séjour depuis le 11/03, pour avoir une idée… 47000€ rien que ça…

On charge Amelie dans la voiture : « on rentre à la maison maman ? » « oui ma chérie… on rentre ». 15h30, la voiture démarre.

On se retrouve tous en même temps vers 16h30 : notre v

Miraculous Season 6 Speculation

I pulled up this post I made after the season 4 finale to see how close I came with my predictions about season 5. Despite getting pretty much everything wrong, I did nail a few things:

Gabriel was unable to handle the power of all the Miraculous, at least at first

Felix used his control over sentibeings to target Gabriel (although notably not Adrien, whom he was trying to save if anything)

Alya regained the Fox Miraculous (admittedly in the last ep and alongside all the other previous holders)

Marinette fell in love with Chat Noir, complicating her feelings for Adrien

Luka was placed in an impossible position because he knows too much

Natalie's health declined to the point of incapacitation (although I didn’t anticipate the same with Gabriel)

Chloe and Lila established an alliance that ultimately went south

I admit most of these predictions were obvious and easily anticipated. I’d rather not embarrass myself by going too far inside M. Astruc’s head, but I can’t help speculating about what the next season holds.

Hence, I’d like to suggest a few plot threads I anticipate showing up during season 6:

~~~

Everyone assumed Cerise would be the new antagonist, using the Butterfly Miraculous to further her vendetta against Marinette and/or seize the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous to forge a wish of her own. But Cerise’s panic in the last seconds of the ep suggests she’s encountered a powerful force she can’t control. This is the new enemy, although Cerise will become its servant and vessel if it means fulfilling her revenge.

This entity will be far more dangerous than Gabriel ever was, unbound by human emotion or empathy. It will be capable of neutralizing and even possessing the new and inexperienced Miraculous holders, forcing Ladybug to create a new power-up.

Who or what exactly is it? It will either be connected to Nooroo, driven insane by a damaged Miraculous, or Tomoe Tsurugi, the only player in Gabriel’s “Perfect Alliance” gambit who didn’t get anything she wanted.

~~~

Other plot points ripe for exploration:

Adrien and Marinette’s romance is plagued by lingering feelings of attraction for Ladybug and Chat Noir, respectively. They break up over it for at least one episode because one of them suspects there’s “someone else”. One of them gets possessed over it. However, Adrinette comes back stronger than ever, reinforced by better communication, more trust, and the realization that the other one isn’t perfect and that’s okay.

One of the other couples also breaks up or gets in an argument, again for only one episode and also involving possession.

Almost everyone believes Gabriel died a hero—except for Marinette, Felix, Kagami, Nathalie, and Amelie. One of them (and you all know which one) accidentally lets the butterfly out of the bag. Angst and drama ensue.

Amelie moves into Maison Agreste as Adrien’s legal guardian. It gives Adrien and Felix the chance to rebuild their relationship as cousins and friends. But certain members of the MiracuClass still don’t completely trust Felix. It causes problems when they realize he’s Argos.

The new Miraculous holders don’t know what the hell they’re doing and make all kinds of mistakes. They use their powers for selfish reasons, and LB and CN must save them from their own messes. They swap Miraculous without even telling Ladybug. They keep revealing their secret identities to each other. They upset, misplace, or lose control of their Kwamis. They get possessed by the new antagonist and use their Miraculous powers against Ladybug and Chat Noir. If Luka teaches any of them Mirakung Fu, someone's gonna kick one of their best friends in the face. Marinette briefly considers taking all the Miraculous back until an attack on her personally confirms she had the right idea. She starts relying more on Chat Noir as a mentor, and occasionally an enforcer, for the other holders.

Cerise joins the MiracuClass at the new school Miss Bustier created. Marinette’s the only one who recognizes Cerise as Lila, but everyone else thinks Marinette is nuts.

Chloe returns to Paris mid-season, discarded by her mother and with nowhere else to go. Andre reluctantly takes her in, and it turns out she learned nothing—she blames Ladybug for everything that went wrong in her life and will stop at nothing to get revenge. She may enroll at Marinette’s school in disguise and forge an alliance with Cerise, not realizing she herself is Lila in disguise, to “get” Marinette.

Sabrina and Marc’s mutual love of soccer leads the former to develop a crush on the latter. It ends well for no one.

And finally, Luka gets his own love interest, if only because he damn well deserves it.
