About the Author
My name is Diana Luca and I am a Romanian expat living in the UAE, communication professional, and the voice behind routine11.me, where I write about skincare, haircare, and the realities of expat life in the Middle East.
Since moving to the UAE in 2022, I have faced the challenges of adapting to extreme climate conditions while managing my lifelong struggle with fine, fragile hair, and hair loss.
Despite never experiencing typical hair problems like split ends, oiliness, or dandruff, I have lived with the constant fear of hair loss, a fear that has only intensified with each passing year and environmental change.
From city life in Romania to summers in the countryside, through travels across multiple countries experiencing all four seasons, and finally to the year-round heat of the UAE, each transition brought new lessons about adapting haircare routines to different environments, lessons I wished I'd had compiled in one honest, practical guide.
With over 19 years of experience in marketing, communication, and project management in the field of Education, I apply the same meticulous research and client-centric approach to haircare that I bring to my professional work.
“The Dubai Guide For Hair Loss. A Guide For Every Expat In The Middle East” completes my blog article, and was born from an old “frustration” caused by the lack of resources addressing the specific environmental stressors of the Middle East.
I present to you a guide which combines my personal vulnerability, extensive research, and empathetic communication style to create the resource I desperately needed when I first arrived in the UAE, honest, warm, scientifically grounded, and specifically designed for expats facing the issue of hair loss in the Middle East.

Why I Wrote This Hair Loss Guide
My book is deeply personal. It follows my blog article https://routine11.me/2024/04/30/hair-loss-expats-uae-guide/ I wrote in April 2025.
Unlike generic hair loss guides, this book:
- Focuses exclusively on the Middle East climate;
- Addresses environmental stressors you won't find in other haircare books: hard water rich in calcium and magnesium, relentless UV exposure, indoor AC drying effects;
- Combines memoir-style honesty with medical research;
- Speaks directly to the expat experience of adapting to a new climate;
- Provides solutions you can actually implement here in the Middle East.
This is not just another clinical manual. It's part memoir, part survival guide, created for real expats seeking realistic solutions and someone who truly understands what you're going through.
