Monsoon Hair Care Tips For Healthy Tresses; Expert Weighs In

Drizzles and downpours are all we need for a comforting escape from the scorching heat waves. Monsoon’s advent makes the mercury drop and relieves us with its mild cool air, enhanced greenery, and breathtaking cloud formations. However, this season also invites dull, greasy, and frizzy hair resulting in hairfall and damage. 

To know more about this, we spoke to Shailesh Moolya, National Technical Head at Godrej Professional. He has highlighted issues like oily scalp, dry hair ends, and dullness providing us with a few effective tips to maintain your hair health throughout the monsoon.  

Monsoon Hair Care Tips

Keep Your Hair Dry

Our expert recommends that keeping your hair dry can help you immensely. Carry an umbrella or raincoat when it rains to avoid the raindrops from touching your tresses and drenching them. If they get wet, wash your hair with a mild shampoo and conditioner to remove pollutants. 

Use Good Products

You are advised to use appropriate hair care products that suit your hair type. Use a gentle shampoo to cleanse your tresses and a condition to control frizz and promote smoothness. 

Manage Frizz

Keep your frizzy hair at bay by applying a top-rated hair serum by applying it on damp hair. This locks in moisture and smoothens your tresses even in humid conditions. 

Avoid Heat Styling

Using heat styling can worsen your hair health during monsoon. Shailesh says, “Embrace your natural hair texture and avoid blow-drying or straightening your hair frequently. If you must use heat, apply a heat protectant spray beforehand.”

Protective Hairdo

Instead of leaving your hair down, prioritise making protective hairstyles like braids, buns, or ponytails. “These styles help in reducing tangling and breakage, keeping your hair neat and tidy. They also prevent the hair from absorbing too much moisture from the air, which can lead to frizz,” says Shailesh. 

Healthy Diet And Hydration

Above everything, your diet plays a key factor in your hair health as it reflects your overall well-being. Consume a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Food items like eggs, nuts, spinach, and berries enhance hair health. Additionally, drink plenty of water for hydrating your hair and scalp from within.
