Monsoon season affects my hair badly. How can I stop hair loss?

Dear Reader,

Mumbai rains are a sight to behold, but they bring challenges for commuters. Hair loss, frizz, and breakage during this season can stem from various factors.

To address hair loss during the monsoon season in India, try to follow these steps:

1. Keep Hair Dry: Avoid stepping out with wet hair. Use a soft towel to dry your hair gently and prevent frizz and breakage. Carry an umbrella to avoid getting your hair wet in the rain.
2. Use Mild Shampoo and Conditioner: Choose products suitable for your hair type. A mild shampoo and a hydrating conditioner can help manage frizz.
3. Check on Dandruff: Dampness and humidity in monsoons offer a favourable environment for fungal growth. Consult a dermatologist if you observe dandruff or itching.
4. Avoid Heat Styling: Minimize the use of heat styling by straighteners and curlers. 
5.  Maintain a Healthy Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Include foods like eggs, nuts, leafy greens, and fish to nourish your hair. 
6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your hair and scalp hydrated from within. 
7. Use Anti-Frizz Products: Apply a serum or leave-in conditioner to manage frizz and add shine to your hair.
8. Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Refrain from tying your hair too tightly as it can cause breakage and stress on the roots. 

By following these tips, you can reduce hair loss and keep your hair healthy during the monsoon season. Even then, if you observe persistent hair fall, please consult a dermatologist for clinical evaluation and treatment. 

Hope this helps

Wish you good health.
