In India humid weather in monsoon can cause hair damage as the climate is sticky due to excessive humidity. This increases the probability of dandruff, hair fall, and other problems too. In fact, your hair is in its weakest condition during this time, and so, your hair needs maximum care.
So, follow the below-mentioned tips to keep your hair problems to a minimum this monsoon.
1. Keep Your Hair Dry
One of the useful and straightforward hair care tips is to keep your scalp dry during the monsoon. Remember that rainwater is dirty and acidic (has a pH of about 5.6) which is very bad for your hair. Use a soft microfiber towel that absorbs water rapidly and reduces friction between the hair and the towel, consequently reducing hair fall.
2. Use Coconut Oil
Applying coconut oil on hair for 15 minutes before shampoo helps in preconditioning your hair. A pre-shampoo treatment with coconut oil makes hair greasy and lessens the water your hair soaks up during washing.
3. Have a Proper Diet
Diet plays a significant role in keeping your hair healthy. What you eat decides the quality of your hair. Add protein-rich food 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 best food for hair growth.
4.Use a Right Comb
Do not comb your wet hair immediately as it is the weakest then. 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.
5. Neem and Turmeric Paste
To get rid of dandruff (fungal infection) in the monsoon season, the application of turmeric and neem paste is an excellent option. Neem and turmeric, both possess antimicrobial, anti-fungal, antiseptic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties which make them a perfect choice to treat dandruff. Moreover, both are also rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants which make your hair and scalp healthy. It is the best and natural way to get rid of dandruff.
6. Short Hair Helps
One of the simple tips to stop hair breakage during this season is to keep your hair short. This will reduce your hair fall problems by a lot since you won’t be exerting your roots by pulling down on longer hair. Short hair also reduces the hassle of maintaining it.
