With simple and effective strategies, one can significantly reduce hair fall during this rainy season.
During the rainy season, hair problems tend to worsen. However, with simple and effective strategies, hair loss can be significantly reduced.
With India's changing climate, your hair is likely to suffer damage due to sun exposure, humidity, moisture loss, breakage, and hair fall. During the monsoon season, increased exposure to rainwater can worsen these problems, leading to frizzy hair and greasy, dirty scalp. However, there is good news: you can take steps to prevent hair fall. Some simple yet effective strategies include avoiding hair exposure to rainwater, keeping the scalp clean, and avoiding excess oiling. Also, certain dietary tips and hair products can significantly help reduce hair fall.
Tips to prevent hair loss during the rainy season
Keep your scalp clean
Don't underestimate the power of regular hair washing. Wash your beautiful hair at least thrice a week during the rainy season as the scalp tends to generate more oil during the rainy season. Since excessive washing can lead to dryness and increased hair fall, find the right balance between cleansing and moisture retention.
Say no to excess oil
While using oil brings innumerable benefits for hair health, one should avoid doing it excessively during monsoon rains. The reason? The scalp is oilier during monsoon rains. This means that using oil can clog the pores, thus irritating the scalp. Apply the oil an hour before bathing and wash your scalp immediately to avoid any repercussions.
Avoid heating the tools
Because drying time is longer during the rainy season, we tend to rely more on heat styling tools, such as hair dryers, curling irons, and flat irons. This overuse can make hair brittle and weak, leading to further breakage. Since our hair is already more vulnerable during the rains, using these styling products can aggravate the damage and contribute to further hair loss.
Be careful with your diet
What you eat significantly affects the overall health of your hair. To keep it healthy, it is essential to include a good amount of ground nuts, almonds, sprouts, and egg whites in your diet. Make sure your daily intake is rich in essential proteins. Also, vitamins and minerals play a vital role in hair growth, so incorporating eggs, nuts, leafy greens, and fish into your meals can help nourish and maintain your hair.
