Did you know that the “rainy season” is called “monsoons”?! Did you also know that droplet of rain brings loads of scalp infections, and hair problems?
Oily scalp with greasy hair, severe dandruff, and itchiness are the most common hair problems you can experience during monsoon. If not taken care of immediately, weakens your hair roots and cause severe hair loss with patchy scalp conditions.
Here is what you need to do to maintain that gorgeous look rocking your hair stylishly;-
1. Oil your hair
Oiling the hair forms a barrier that prevents excessive moisture loss while washing the hair, good hair oil also strengthens and nourishes the hair and helps fight different scalp infections in the rainy season. It is advisable to add a hot oil massage to your hair care routine, do this at least twice a week to enhance the blood circulation to your hair follicles.
2. Wash out rainwater
When you get drenched, the rainwater’s acidity trapped in your hair may cause an imbalance in your scalp’s pH, and aggravate hair problems. Using a nourishing and strengthening shampoo and conditioner will prevent your glands from secreting excessive sebum and keep hair problems in good shape. A mild shampoo with natural ingredients will do the magic.
3. Keep your hair dry
Remember that your hair is brittle and at its weakest when it is wet. After you wash it, make sure to dry your scalp quickly to reduce the hair fall. Let your hair air-dry naturally, and do not tie your hair when it is wet!
4. Comb wisely
Choose a wide-toothed comb to easily detangle your hair. Make sure that the teeth of the comb have enough space in between so that the hair does not break while combing. Be careful to not comb your wet hair immediately as it has a higher chance of breaking. Sharing of combs should be avoid to prevent fungi infection.
5. Hair treatments
Endeavor to apply deep conditioning once a week to improve the texture and looks of your hair. You can simply apply your conditioner to the lengths of your hair and wrap it up in warm towel for 15 minutes. The heat will help the conditioner penetrate deeper into your hair shafts and will combat the extreme monsoon frizz.
6. Follow a nutritious diet
The food you eat affects the quality of your hair positively or negatively. A balanced diet keeps your hair healthy and shiny all year long. It is important to avoid junk food and choose a fresh and healthy diet instead. Add protein and vitamin-rich foods to your regular diet as they provide shine to your hair. Some of the best foods for hair growth are berries, nuts, spinach, and sweet potatoes.
