The monsoon arrives after a long, hot summer. The season revitalizes us, makes us feel alive, and provides respite from the sweltering heat of summer. However, monsoon is also the time of year when your body requires extra attention. You most likely take good care of your body and skin, but your hair is frequently overlooked.
4 Monsoon Hair Care Tips:
1. Shampoo Regularly
Given that we are constantly on the move, there is no way to avoid getting wet in the rain. Shampoo your hair on a routine basis to eliminate any residue or particles that rainwater may have left on your scalp. The most important tip here is to cleanse and purify your hair on a regular basis, depending on the type of hair you have. During the monsoon season, the scalp produces a lot of oil, which causes hair to become frizzy and undernourished. Use a gentle antimicrobial cleanser to nourish your hair while fighting bacterial and fungal infections.
2. Use a conditioner every time
Conditioning one’s hair with a masque is essential because it reduces frizz and smoothens the hair. Make sure to only use the conditioner on the mid-length and ends of your hair. However, only a small amount should be used. During the rainy season, a nutrient-rich conditioner is essential. To add shine, apply conditioner only to the ends of your hair and rinse with cold water. If you use a leave-in conditioner, it will provide a barrier component on your hair and protect it from rain.
3. Eat smart
Your diet has a significant impact on hair care. A healthy diet can help to strengthen hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth. In the chilling weather of the monsoons, you may crave hot, oily, and crispy foods. However, these foods will only aggravate your hair and scalp issues. It is critical to avoid junk during the monsoon season in order to keep your doshas in balance. Consume foods that are a good source of protein, iron, and omega-3 essential fatty acids, including spinach, walnuts, mackerel, salmon, carrots, and so on. Caffeine and junk food can dehydrate your hair and cause it to fall out. Remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
4. Keep your hair dry
During the monsoon season, it is critical to keep your scalp and hair dry. Keep in mind that your hair is at its weakest when wet. If you are travelling during the monsoon season, bring necessary accessories such as umbrellas, caps, or scarves. If your hair is wet, do not tie it and allow it to air-dry naturally as soon as possible. You can then take a thorough shower to remove the accumulated rain residues with hair cleansers.
A special piece of advice for dyed hair is to dampen your tresses and apply a conditioner before going out in the rain. This can help to keep the colour from bleeding. But don’t forget to rinse with cold water as soon as you get back inside.
Have fun with the monsoons!
