When it comes to chasing down that next news story, Adeeba is always on her feet one way or another – finding interviews, securing meet-ups, and waiting under the scorching sun. Unfortunately, this lifestyle can be bad news for her hair.
“I usually have to wait for interviewees and they are usually late,” she explains.
“(This means) a lot of driving, a lot of changing locations. I have to be outside most of the time, so I’ll be drenched in sweat – and it can be panas since I’m wearing a hijab.”
As a full-time journalist at Malaysiakini, Adeeba is very familiar with the toll this takes on her hair. Constant hours outdoors have made her scalp both oily and flaky, and her hair sometimes smells bad at the end of the day.
Unfortunately, Adeeba’s hair difficulties don’t end there. Since most shampoos usually focus on one hair problem, Adeeba typically has to cycle through various products during one wash.
“It’s hard for me to stick with just one shampoo,” Adeeba says. “I usually have to wash my hair two times – once with one brand, another time with another brand.”
In a surprising twist, however, she ended up finding one shampoo that changed this for the better!
“(My scalp is) not really oily even after 12 hours straight in a hijab. It still feels fresh,” she says. “Even after leaving my hair unwashed for three days, it’s still ok.”
With Moist Diane helping her out, Adeeba is more than ready to chase down her next scoop – and feel fresh all the while!
