<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
After the long hot summer passes, the refreshing monsoon welcomes us, making us feel alive and bringing relief from the scorching heat of the summer season. However, this is also the season in which our bodies need some extra care. We probably do take excellent care of our body and skin, but our hair is often neglected, leading to issues like frizziness, hair fall etc. In short, monsoon hair care is essential!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this blog, we\u2019ll share some simple tips that you can follow to keep your tresses healthy and shiny even during the rainy season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Care For Your Hair<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt is known that monsoons can cause hair damage as the climate is sticky due to excessive humidity ^{1<\/sup><\/a>. This increases the probability of dandruff, hair fall, and other problems too. So, your hair needs utmost care.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Follow the below-mentioned tips to keep your hair problems to a minimum this monsoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Protect Your Hair from Rainwater<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most useful and straightforward hair care tips is to protect your hair and scalp from getting drenched in the rain. If this happens, dry your hair well and wash it when possible. Use a soft microfiber towel that absorbs water rapidly and reduces friction between the hair and the towel, decreasing hair fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Apply Coconut Oil<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Applying coconut oil 15 minutes before shampoo helps in preconditioning your hair. A pre-shampoo treatment with coconut oil reduces hair porosity and lessens the water your hair soaks up during washing ^{2<\/sup><\/a>. \u00a0However, in humid monsoon conditions, heavy oiling for long durations may worsen scalp oiliness or dandruff in some individuals. Instead, lighter oils such as argan oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil may be better suited for humid weather as they are less barrier-forming and easier to wash out}9<\/a><\/sup>. It also helps deal with <\/strong>scalp problems in men <\/strong>and women, although these could be due to several reasons and may need a dermatologist\u2019s consultation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Consume a Nutritious Diet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Diet plays a significant role in keeping your hair healthy. Nutrients protect your hair from damage and help promote hair growth ^{3<\/sup><\/a>. Add protein-rich foods like eggs, walnuts, dairy products, and whole grains, along with green vegetables, to your regular diet as they provide shine to your hair. And berries, nuts, spinach, and sweet potatoes are some of the <\/strong>best food for hair growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
\n
It\u2019s important not to Shampoo hair daily, as there are some oils produced by scalp itself which should not be washed away daily.<\/p>\n Dr. M.G. Kartheeka, MBBS, MD(Pediatrics)<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
4. Smart Comb Hacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hair is weaker when wet and more prone to breakage. To protect your strands, avoid rough combing on wet hair; instead, opt for tapered cuts that reduce snapping at the ends, and gently detangle after drying. The key hack: check how your hair breaks during both wet and dry combing to truly understand its strength ^{4<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Choose the right comb (wide-tooth), so it can easily detangle your hair. Make sure the teeth of the comb have enough space in between so that the hair does not break while combing. Also, sharing of combs must be avoided to prevent fungal infections. Clean your comb frequently to avoid hair and scalp infections.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Watch For Any Signs of Dandruff<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"dandruff\"$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Low ultraviolet index and low humidity might lead to a higher prevalence of dandruff ^{5<\/sup><\/a>. Dandruff is a very common cause of hair fall in men and women. Thus, to get rid of dandruff\u00a0 in the monsoon season, try using over-the-counter antifungal shampoos. You can also try some natural ways to get rid of dandruff. If these don\u2019t work, consult a dermatologist as dandruff can occur due to several scalp issues.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>}
