Ways to Prevent Moonsoon Hairfall

The monsoons may be romantic but in reality, the weather takes a toll on your hair. Monsoon humidity leaves hair worn out, lifeless and brittle; as a result, you lose clumps of hair during this season. Another reason that adds to the issue is the presence of  enviormental pollutants in rainwater that culminates in fungal infection on scalp that weakens roots and causes hair fall. We give you few effective tips that will help you prevent monsoon hair fall!

1. Shampoo & Conditioning your hairs daily.

If only we could sit at home and enjoy the serenity of the rains. We all know this is wishful thinking, but what you can do is wash and condition your hair as soon as you get home. This is the only way you can keep your hair and scalp clean. Regular shampooing won’t lead to hair loss or dry scalp, provided you use a mild shampoo. The elevated levels of humidity in the air lead to hair becoming coarse and dry, which in turn makes the hair frizzy. Conditioning them regularly helps to get rid of the frizziness making it easier for you to manage.

2.  Keep your hair dry

Try and keep your hair dry for as long as possible. Usually we lose around 50-60 hair but during monsoons we lose somewhere around 200 strands without even knowing it. It will stand you in good stead to dry your hair since it helps prevent hair and scalp problems such as excessive hair loss and dandruff.

3. Diet?

Lots of protein and fresh fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes, litchis, limes and pears contain lycopenes and vitamin C which are great for hair. Have milk and soya protein to boost up the protein content of your diet. Supplements like Vitamin A, Calcium, Vitamin B, Vitamin C and Zinc. Oily, fried stuff are absolute no-nos.

Water. Drink lots of it. At least 2 litres a day or atleast 8-12 glasses of water daily is another tip to prevent hair loss in monsoon. Water helps wash off the toxins from our body.

Also, restrict your consumption of junk food such as burger, fries, chips, sugary etc., to a bare minimum as it contributes to hair thinning.  Start including protein-rich foods in your diet including soyabean, eggs, low-fat cheese, beans, salmon and yogurt to prevent hair fall in monsoon.

4. Oil and wash

Hair turns rough, dry and frizzy during monsoon. A quick and natural oil massage followed by a hair wash results in smooth, frizz-free and manageable hair. It also becomes necessary to give a hot oil massage to your hair every weekend or twice in a week, as scalp turns itchy and flaky in rains.

5. If you want a haircut, now is the best time.

Short hair is easiest to manage and takes the least time to dry. Wet hair can lead to a host of problems. Chop off your locks for a chic new do, and make your life easier.

6. Avoid hair sprays and heavy gels.

Again, try and stay away from too much hair spray, gels and mousse, a little bit of serum should handle any frizz without weighing it down.
