Tips to keep your hair healthy in the rainy season | Fusion - WeRIndia

Monsoon can wreak havoc on your hair due to the excessive humidity, causing dandruff, hair fall, and other issues.

To maintain healthy hair during this season, follow these essential tips:

One simple yet effective tip is to keep your hair and scalp dry. If you get caught in the rain, dry your hair thoroughly and wash it as soon as possible. Use a soft microfiber towel to quickly absorb water and reduce friction, minimizing hair fall.

Precondition your hair by applying coconut oil 15 minutes before shampooing. This treatment makes your hair greasy, reducing the water it absorbs during washing and addressing scalp issues in both men and women.

Diet plays a crucial role in hair health. Include protein-rich foods, whole grains, and green vegetables. Foods such as nuts, spinach etc. promote hair growth and add shine.

Do not shampoo your hair daily. Natural oils produced by the scalp should not be washed away frequently.

Avoid combing wet hair immediately, as it is weakest then. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair gently. Ensure the comb teeth have enough space to prevent breakage. Avoid sharing combs to prevent fungal infections, and clean your comb regularly.

If you notice dandruff, consult a dermatologist. Dandruff is a common cause of hair fall, especially during the monsoon. Washing your hair three times a week can help manage oiliness and reduce hair fall.

Consider keeping your hair short during the monsoon. Short hair is easier to manage and reduces hair fall by minimizing the strain on your roots.

Monsoon makes hair dry, brittle, and frizzy. Choose a shampoo and conditioner suitable for your hair type to keep it manageable. Use a conditioner after shampooing to add volume and shine. Finish with a good hair serum on damp hair to protect it from frizz.

When stepping outside, tie your hair in a ponytail or bun to prevent it from getting drenched. This helps avoid frizz and other scalp problems caused by rainwater.

Avoid colouring your hair during the monsoon, as it can make your hair dry and lifeless. Minimize the use of hair styling products and heat to prevent damage.

By following these tips, you can keep your hair healthy, safe, and glossy during the monsoon. Enjoy the rain without any hair stress!
