How To Take Care of Your Hair in Monsoons

After a long, hot summer, rains are often a welcome respite, but the humidity, dampness, and sudden rains are far from refreshing for your hair. The excess moisture in the air wreaks havoc on your hair cuticles, causing frizz and making your strands prone to breakage. The rains, on the other hand, are filled with pollutants, leaving you with dull, lifeless strands, and also lead to scalp infections, oiliness, greasiness, dandruff, and itching. 

This guide will help you understand how to take care of your hair in monsoons with dermatologist-recommended products you can find at Your Derm Store. Let’s get started!

1. Keep Your Scalp & Hair Dry

Hair is weak and brittle when it's wet, which could lead to hair loss. Ensure that your scalp and hair are dry during the monsoons by drying your scalp quickly and gently after a hair wash. 

Pro Tip: Use an umbrella or wear a cap to cover your hair whenever stepping out during the rainy season. This will help prevent your hair from getting wet.

2. Wash Out The Rain Water

In case you do end up getting drenched in the rain, wash your hair out with a mild, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner. Keeping your scalp and hair clean is an important part of the monsoon hair care routine. 

Pro Tip: Try Keth Laboratories’ Everyday Hair Essentials for best results. It includes:

• Keth Laboratories Everyday Shampoo, which cleanses and revitalises hair while maintaining the natural moisture balance. It is enriched with coconut water, yogurt extract, and rice water. 

• Seren Conditioner provides deep hydration and protection, ensuring that the hair is manageable, smooth, and healthy. 

3. Oil Your Hair Regularly 

A gentle head and hair massage with natural oils will strengthen and nourish your strands while tackling potential scalp infections during monsoons. Hair oiling should be an important part of your monsoon hair care routine as oil creates a barrier which prevents moisture loss, nourishes the scalp, strengthens the hair from roots to tips, and protects hair against external damage. 

Pro Tip: You can try Halixir Hair Oil or F-Tricholite Light Herbal Hair Oil. Both of these oils contain a powerful blend of herbs and supplements that nourish the scalp and strengthen the hair.

 

4. Be Gentle When Combing Your Hair

Using a wide-toothed comb and gently detangling your hair will help prevent breakage and frizz. Be gentle when detangling your hair, starting from the ends, and slowly making your way to your roots. 

Pro Tip: Not just a tip for monsoon hair care, but hair care in general, avoid sharing your comb to prevent fungal infections.

6. Use A Hair Mask Once A Week

Use a deep conditioning mask once a week to keep your hair healthy and hydrated. Choose a mask that has ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, or argan oil. Keeping your hair hydrated should be an important step while taking care of your hair during monsoons, when it tends to get frizzy and dry. 

Pro Tip: Try Ducray Nutricerat Intense Nutrition Hair Mask which gives your hair intense nourishment while controlling frizz and softening rough hair. The mask also revitalises dry and brittle hair, making it smoother and manageable.
