FACT Opinion: How to have a sustainable hair day

UAE’s Boho Salon’s Founder Layla Al Hajjaj shares the small steps you can implement for a big eco-friendly change. 

In today’s world, where environmental consciousness is on the rise, adopting sustainable practices in every aspect of our lives has never been more crucial. At Boho Salon in the UAE, we are committed to providing not just exceptional hair care but promoting eco-friendly and sustainable choices for our clients. Here’s how to have a sustainable hair day, week, month and life. 

Trying hair products before purchasing them is wise as it allows you to determine their compatibility with your hair type and needs. By testing products beforehand, you can avoid the disappointment of spending money on something that doesn’t deliver the desired results.

Booking a service at the salon to try the products helps you assess their scent, texture, and how they feel. This sensory experience can be crucial in ensuring your overall satisfaction. It also prevents you from accumulating unused or partially used products, reducing unnecessary waste and saving money. In addition, many haircare brands offer sample sizes or travel-sized products that allow you to try before committing to a full-sized purchase. 

A significant step towards achieving a sustainable hair day starts with products. At Boho Salon, we are proud to carry brands like Davines and Innersense Organic Beauty, known for their commitment to eco-friendly and sustainable practices.

The Italian brand Davines is synonymous with sustainability. The products use natural ingredients, are free from harmful chemicals, and packaged in recyclable materials. Consider using their OI Shampoo and Conditioner, enriched with Roucou oil, for smooth, shiny hair. 

The California-based Innersense Organic Beauty is a pioneer in clean beauty. The haircare products are crafted using organic ingredients, ethically sourced, and free from sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. Try the Pure Harmony Hairbath and Conditioner for a revitalising and sustainable hair cleansing experience.

Conserving water is essential for a sustainable hair day. In the Middle East, water is a precious resource and every drop counts. When washing your hair, ensure you use water efficiently by wetting your hair thoroughly, turning off the tap while applying shampoo and conditioner, and rinsing quickly. This simple habit can make a significant difference.

At Boho Salon, our stylists are trained to use these eco-friendly tools without harming the planet. When it comes to styling your hair, consider using energy-efficient tools such as low-wattage hairdryers and curling irons. These tools consume less electricity and reduce your carbon footprint. 

If you love to colour your hair, use colour-preserving shampoos and conditioners, reducing the frequency of touch-ups. Ask our colour specialists about low-chemical hair dyes from Davines, which are less harmful to your hair and the environment. 

Lastly, choose a sustainable salon. Boho Salon is committed to sustainability. Our salon practices include recycling and upcycling, water and energy conservation, use of biodegradable disposables, and stocking sustainable products.

At Boho Salon, we believe that sustainable choices are not just beneficial for your hair’s health and beauty but the planet. By using eco-friendly products, practising water conservation, and embracing sustainable hairstyles, you can enjoy a sustainable hair life that leaves you feeling confident and environmentally responsible. 

Embrace sustainability, and let your hair shine with a radiant, eco-friendly glow.
