Monsoon Hair Care Tips

For all of you fashionistas out there who love to sport the wet hair look, there’s some bad news. Although it may look and feel great, wet hair can lead to major hair woes. Hair problems become more frequent during the monsoons. Acid rain, dirty rainwater and increased levels of humidity have an adverse impact on your hair and scalp.

No matter which part of the world you come from, the following tips and tricks will come in handy to help you get rid of hair and scalp problems during the monsoons.

Tone down the use of hair-styling products

If you are not blessed with naturally healthy hair, it is completely understandable for you to use styling products. However, during the monsoons it is advisable to try and refrain from using these products. Due to excess humidity these chemical based products tend to make your hair excessively oily/greasy. This in turn causes harm to your hair and scalp. The glum and gels can result in dandruff.

Keep your hair dry

Try and keep your hair dry for as long as possible. Usually we lose around 50-60 strands of hair but during monsoons we lose somewhere around 200 strands without even knowing it. It will stand you in good stead to dry your hair since it helps prevent hair and scalp problems such as excessive hair loss and dandruff.

Use a mild shampoo

Apart from dandruff and hair fall you might as well have an oily scalp. So you must wash your hair regularly with a mild shampoo. Another reason to shampoo oily hair daily is because your hair may become limp during monsoons and only shampooing can restore volume to your hair. Shampoo daily if your hair is exposed to rain water every day.

Watch your Diet

Protein is the most important nutrient for healthy hair. So, if you want to show off your mane, you must eat foods that are a rich source of protein, such as salmons, eggs, carrots, whole grains, dark green veggies, kidney beans, nuts, low-fat dairy products etc. 

Conditioning regularly is vital

The elevated levels of humidity in the air lead to hair becoming coarse and dry, which in turn makes the hair frizzy. Conditioning them regularly helps to get rid of the frizziness making it easier for you to manage.
