What hard water does to hair
Minerals start to coat the strand: dullness, tangling, colour fade. Chelating (detox) washes enter the routine.
The washing routine for Tunis
Build the routine around a detox (chelating) wash about every fourth wash, with gentle washing between detox days. Follow every wash with conditioner; at this level the cuticle roughens quickly and colour-treated hair fades sooner.
Climate, from recent records (Open-Meteo, ERA5 2015-2024): July is the warmest month, averaging 35°C by day, and humidity peaks in December at about 77% on average. Day to night swings reach 13°C, which dries hair out between washes; the plan adds moisture and a sealing leave-in when a stop spans those months. In the hot months, sun and sweat do as much damage as the water: shade, a hat and a rinse after swimming carry the routine.
