How to take care of your hair in monsoon

Bollywood made us aware of the extraordinary bond between rain and magic, a bond that you

will never be able to comprehend. Until we get soaked to the bone in the chilly rains on the way

home after a long day, the idea of dancing in the rain like Geet in Jab We Met looks appealing.

Despite what might seem an exaggeration, your hair has never liked the monsoon weather. The

hair damage that results from a strong monsoon shower demands care and attention that you

weren’t aware of prior, let alone the sticky and frigid aftereffects. Due to the humidity, your hair

likely becomes frizzy and drab during these monsoons.

I decided to explore and experiment with all the combinations that benefited my hair since most

of our days as Indians will be spent in downpours and foggy environments. Invest in your hair,

they say—it’s a crown you never take off.

There is no disputing that most of us look forward to the monsoon season because it brings

reprieve from the oppressive heat. There are too many things to admire about the season, from

providing beautiful views to evenings that are not to be missed. Our hair, on the other hand, is

one thing that suffers at this time. In the monsoon season, extra effort is required to keep the

hair's gloss and texture.

What causes hair fall in monsoon season?

The fresh sensation of the monsoon, despite the torrential downpours, the chilly temperatures,

and the coolness that permeates the air, is something you can’t ignore. While taking advantage of

the weather, remember how it may impact your hair. The temperature is drastically changed from

dry to humid during monsoons, which makes the hair follicles more vulnerable to the

environment's high amounts of moisture. This causes your hair to absorb a significant amount of

hydrogen, which results in swelling and coarse, brittle, and unmanageable hair. It weakens the

roots, which invites a fungus infection and causes hair loss during the monsoon season.

Tips to maintaining your hair and keeping them healthy in Monsoon by Root Natural:

1. Avoid Extra Moisture:
   Rainwater carries corrosive acids that are particularly harmful to our hair. Avoid getting wet in the rain; if you enjoy doing the rain dance, take some safety measures like washing your hair soon afterwards. The first rain of the year should also be avoided because it contains a lot of acid. And to restore the pH levels of the hair and scalp, apply a profoundly nourishing oil or hair mask to the clean scalp. Taking these precautions may shield your hair from the damaging effects of rain.
   
   
2. Routine Hair Oiling:
   During the rainy season, many of us refrain from regularly oiling our hair because of the humid air and sticky scalps. However, neglecting to oil your hair consistently increases the issues. Oiling your hair is like eating food to be nourished. The fight against fungus or irritation on the scalp brought on by too much moisture is aided by oils with anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial properties, such as coconut oil or onion oil. Massage also promotes blood circulation, strengthening our hair follicles and encouraging hair growth.
   
   
3. Maintain A Healthy Diet:
   It is said that “What we consume, we become.” As a result, caring for our hair goes beyond just aesthetic responsibility. Additionally, a beautiful exterior depends on having a healthy interior. To maintain healthy hair, include foods high in biotin and omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, such as flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and vegetables like broccoli cauliflower, etc.
   
   
4. Don’t Forget to Condition:
   Despite using the best shampoo available to wash our hair, we usually neglect or forget to condition it. You must not skip this crucial step if you desire healthy, long, attractive hair.
   
   
5. Apply natural DIY Packs:
   The Ayurvedic pack: Put equal amounts of curry leaves, fenugreek seeds soaked, tulsi leaves, and green gramme in a bowl. Make a fine paste from all the ingredients, then apply it to your hair and scalp. Before washing it off with regular water, wait around 30 minutes.
   The Fenugreek pack: 3–5 tsp of fenugreek seeds should be soaked in water overnight and ground into a fine paste the following morning. Apply this paste to your scalp thoroughly. After 30 to 40 minutes, properly wash the item with plain water.

Hair fall will always be a problem in your life, no matter the weather. The monsoon seasons typically cause a 30% rise in hair loss.
