Like other seasons, the rainy season also brings its own set of challenges. Most of us first worry about the monsoon hair loss.
The weather in this season makes the hair brittle and dull. In fact, the damp weather can be one reason behind the monsoon hair fall.
Also, fungal infections may spread on your scalp when your hair gets wet in rain water. You hair may become brittle and rough and this may increase the hair loss.
Changing your hair care plan in this season can help you minimise the hair fall in monsoon. If you can protect your hair from getting wet in rain water, you can minimise the damage.
Now, let us discuss what we can do about minimising the hair fall in monsoon.
Rain water is bad for your hair. If you can avoid exposing your hair to rain water, you can minimise the chances of hair fall.
Your hair may get wet in the rains during this season. Once you reach home, wash your hair using a mild shampoo. Keeping the scalp clean is important to prevent infections.
Though you don't feel thirsty, ensure that you drink enough water. It helps keep the toxins out of your body.
Dry hair tends to go weak. Once you massage your hair with oil it becomes smooth. But do it only once a week and ensure that you stay at home when you have oil on your scalp.
Aloe vera gel is said to reduce itching and bacteria on the scalp. It also controls dandruff and helps in the growth of your hair.
Experts say that junk foods may also cause hair loss. Consume foods rich in proteins. Choose eggs an milk.
Include sprouts, leafy greens and fruits in your diet as they contribute a lot to healthy hair.
As caffeine causes dehydration, it is better to control your intake especially if you are experiencing hair loss.
You may lose hair if you try to comb it when it is wet. Also, stay away from your blow drier for sometime.
Minimise the usage of styling creams/gels in this season as they tend to form a layer on your scalp due to the wet weather conditions. Keeping your scalp clean is the key in this season.
