Essential Hair Care Tips During Monsoon Season

Essential Hair Care Tips During Monsoon Season

Today probably at least a quarter of the world’s population is at home due to the ongoing coronavirus(Covid-19) pandemic and restrictions. Most people are working from home and managing various activities at home. With the increasing stress due to the various repercussions of the pandemic plus our hectic schedule, our bodies are reacting to the stress in various ways, and hair fall is one of them. And to make matters worse, monsoons have just begun to add up to our stress levels. They end up causing even more damage to our hair.

Why Monsoon Harms Hair?

We all enjoy playing with the cool rainwater during monsoons. The pollution emitted in the atmosphere and other materials mix with fresh rainwater before falling to the ground. This makes the water acidic and it can possibly cause damage to your hair and scalp. The monsoons are interspersed with times of heat, acidity and humidity which disturb the natural pH levels of the scalp eventually leading to hair loss. Both men and women experience excessive hair loss in monsoon. High hydrogen levels in the air have damaging effects on hair and scalp, and can lead to hair fall. Itchy scalps, dandruff, dry and frizzy hair and also hair fall are just a few problems that occur during this season. The rain water contains various chemicals and other pollutants which in turn cause several scalp infections, ultimately damaging the roots and causing hair fall.

How to Keep Your Hair Healthy?

It is important to take excellent care of your hair simply because monsoon hair care is essential! Protection from dust, pollution, humidity, and rainwater is the need of the hour. We have managed to list below a few hair care tips that you must include in your routine to maintain healthy hair to get the lustrous look.

1. Wash Your Hair: Wash hair frequently. Oily scalp, excessive hair fall, dandruff and roughness may appear otherwise. We suggest you wash your hair at least 3-4 days a week with a mild shampoo and follow it up with a conditioner to keep your scalp free from dirt and grime.

2. Cut Your Hair Short: Avoid hair breakage during this season by keeping your hair short. Pressure exerted on your roots by pulling down on longer hair reduces, which means hair fall is also reduced.

3.Oil Your Hair: Hair oil nourishes hair follicles. Gently massage your scalp with cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive or coconut oils to improve blood circulation and hair growth.

4. Stay Dry: Keep your hair dry, avoid wet hair and scalp as it is a hotbed for fungal infections. Avoid getting drenched in rain. Carry umbrellas and raincoats to stay dry.

5. Comb Right: Do not comb or tie wet hair. Choose a wide-tooth comb, to detangle your hair easily. Avoid sharing of combs.

What Food is Good for Hair?

Eating Junk food can ruin your hair. Your diet directly affects the hair health. Consuming a diet consisting of carbohydrates, protein and fibre can help in hair regeneration and re-growth.

Here are some superfoods you can eat to maintain hair health.

1. Eggs : Eggs are a rich source of protein, which is great for your hair health.
2. Avocado: Avocados are loaded with vitamins and fibre. Consume every day for lustrous hair.
3. Berries: They are packed with the goodness of antioxidants. They reduce hair damage.
4. Spinach: It contains folate, iron and other nutrients that promote hair growth.
5. Fatty Fish: They promote hair growth.
6. Sweet Potatoes: Packed with beta-carotene, they help in sebum production.
7. Nuts and Seeds: Nuts and seeds are powerhouse of vitamins and minerals.
