Understanding Hair Science with Jawed Habib
Hair care is a science, not just a service. I cut through the marketing noise to share real, practical advice on hair treatments, styling, and daily maintenance.
In this conversation, I explain the truth about ammonia vs. ammonia-free hair colour. It's not about marketing gimmicks; it's about understanding the chemicals and choosing what is safer and longer-lasting for your hair.
Keratin, Botox, Nanoplasty. What are they? I call them 'hair facials'. In this clip, I explain that these treatments help seal the hair cuticle, making long hair look healthy instead of like a broom.
Here I am demonstrating my cutting technique to an audience. A good cut is not just about length; it flows smoothly from front to back. Merging the sections is the game changer.
A simple but important tip from me. Oil and dust are a bad combination for your hair. Think twice before stepping out with oily hair, as it attracts dirt and can lead to scalp issues.
Here's a simple fact. Water makes a huge difference not just for our health, but for our skin and hair too. Staying hydrated is the first step to healthy hair.
Want long hair? Here is a home remedy I stand by. Try using onion juice on your scalp once a week for four weeks and see the results for yourself.
In this image, I am captured while giving a haircut, along with a question I often ask: "How can oil be bad for your hair?" It's important to question who is giving you advice and trust only real professionals.
A common question I get is about oiling after rebonding. The fact is, it's completely safe. I advise my clients to start oiling their hair two weeks after the treatment to nourish it.
A simple quote that is the foundation of my brand. Your hair is your pride and joy, and it should be treated that way.
This is my philosophy. With beautiful hair comes a beautiful you. Your confidence shines when your hair looks and feels good.
About Hair Science with Jawed Habib
Stop thinking of treatments like Keratin, Botox, or Nanoplasty as magic potions. I call them 'hair facials'. These treatments are designed to seal the hair cuticle, turning dry, straw-like hair into something manageable. If you want long hair that looks healthy, you need to understand that maintenance is not optional. It is the science of keeping your hair cuticle sealed, not just covering up the damage.
Hair care is not just about buying expensive bottles. It is about understanding what your hair actually needs. Education is the key to healthy hair.
The Ammonia Debate
Many salons push ammonia-free colors as the gold standard. The truth is, ammonia helps the color penetrate deeper and last longer. I often suggest ammonia-based colors because they are safer when used with the right technique, unlike the quick-fading alternatives that just force you to color your hair more often.
Oiling Is Not The Enemy
There is a common myth that oiling is bad for your hair. That is nonsense. Oiling is necessary for scalp health, but the timing matters. Whether you have had rebonding or are just maintaining, oiling is a vital part of your routine. Do not let myths guide your hair care.
The Cut Matters
A great haircut is not just about taking length off. It is about the flow. When I cut hair, I focus on merging the sections so the shape holds up even as the hair grows. A good cut flows smoothly from front to back.
Daily Maintenance
Drink water, eat right, and stop looking for miracle cures in a bottle. Your hair reflects your internal health. If you are confused about what treatment suits your hair texture, or if you are tired of spending money on products that do not work, I am here to help you get the basics right.
