MONSOON CARE FOR YOUR HAIR

The minute you start relishing the end of summer, the downpour begins, and your hair is faced with a completely new set of issues. Humidity comes out to play and make your hair dry and frizzy, your scalp feels itchy, and you? Well, we don’t have to tell you how you feel. 

But don’t let the gloomy weather bring your hair down. There are a number of monsoon hair care tips we recommend.

Protect Your Hair From Getting Wet In The Rain

You might enjoy the rain, but you can’t afford to let your hair get caught in it. Rainwater is generally acidic in nature and can gravely affect your scalp’s pH levels. Moreover, wet strands are very prone to breakage and hairfall and there is always the danger of dandruff and infections. A simple hack and a monsoon hair care tip is to tie your hair in a ponytail or a bun to protect it from getting wet. But when you’re back indoors, keep it open and let it breathe. In case your hair gets wet, wash it as soon as possible to reduce the negative effects of the rain. 

Oil Is Your Friend

While humidity might make your hair feel greasy, you shouldn’t make the mistake of discarding oil from your hair regime. Oiling your hair keeps frizzing to a minimum and nourishes your scalp which also reduces the chances of hairfall. 

Use The Right Hair Care Products

The shampoo and conditioner you use during the rest of the year might not be suitable for monsoon hair care. Hair products filled with chemicals should be avoided as they clog pores and cause hair damage. Products that are specially designed for frizz and hairfall control should be used. The best way to combat sweat and stickiness on the hair and scalp is to wash your hair daily. Pantene 2-in-1 is a popular choice that is recommended by experts which has shampoo & conditioner in one bottle that reduces hairfall because of breakage and fights monsoon frizz.

Eat Right

You don’t need to wait till monsoon to eat right but extra care needs to be given to your diet during this season. What you eat directly affects your hair. Proteins and greens contribute to making your hair and scalp healthier. Increasing your water intake is also advised. 

Use The Right Comb

Another way to take care of your hair in monsoon is to choose a wide-toothed comb that is gentle on your hair and helps you detangle with ease. Additionally, fungal infections are common during monsoon; so, do not forget to clean your comb frequently and keep it dry. 

Avoid Excessive Styling 

Monsoon hair care is necessary so that your hair doesn’t stay damaged once the clouds clear up. For this reason, styling should be avoided as much as possible. This includes ironing, blow drying and colouring. But this doesn’t mean you leave your hair wet. Try drying it with a soft towel or sit outside on your balcony and let the wind do its thing before you step out. Keeping your hair short is also recommended because it’s easier to manage and easier to dry. A trim every few months is advised, to maintain frizz-free hair.
