Monsoon means dancing in the rain, singing songs and jumping on puddles of water. It also means hair fall and hair damage in the high-on-humidity weather. Your hair absorbs hydrogen in the monsoons, forming bonds and swelling up making the hair frizzy. Keeping a healthy mane during the monsoons requires a few tips that will work wonders for your hair.
Here are some hair care tips to follow in the monsoons:
- Get drenched but wash away the rain afterward – Rainwater is full of pollutants and dust, use a mild shampoo to wash your hair if you get drenched in the rain.
- Shampoo your hair 2-3 times a week to keep your sticky and sweaty scalp healthy and clean.
- Dry your hair the right way by using a soft towel and gently wiping your hair to reduce hair fall. Vigorously rubbing a towel will lead to breakage and rough hair.
- Condition your hair regularly to nourish, strengthen and protecting your hair. Apply conditioner only to the ends and lengths of your hair.
- Oil your hair once or twice a week as it nourishes your hair. Massage the oil gently to avoid breakage.
- Eat a healthy balanced diet. Avoid junk food and cut down on caffeine as it dehydrates and causes your hair to fall. Add fresh fruits, leafy vegetables. Protein-rich foods and whole grains during monsoons.
