Hi everyone,
The delightful monsoon season is here, and as happy as that makes all of us, we know that this season isn’t the kindest towards our skin and hair. Many people face common hair and skin woes at this time of the year, owning to the very high humidity levels in the air. It’s not uncommon for your hair to become dry and frizzy at this time of the year. Nor is it uncommon for you to experience increased hair fall and damage. So, let’s take a look at some of quick and easy tips that can help keep your dry and frizzy hair smooth and well maintained during the monsoon season.
1. Protect your hair from the rainfall: It may be tempting to go out and enjoy the rainfall, but remember that rainwater isn’t pure and clean, as we believe it to be. It is often loaded with the dirt and pollutants in the environment. When this water falls on your hair, it causes the hair to become rough, dry and damaged. The first and foremost thing to do is to protect your hair from rain water. If you must go out in the rain or if you get caught in the downpour, make sure to use something that covers your head and protect your hair from the rain water.
2. Use a gentle, sulphate free shampoo: The humidity might make you want to shampoo your hair often, but that is a sure shot way of making your hair super dry during the monsoon season. To ensure that your hair remains smooth during the rainy season, limit your shampooing to twice a week. It’s also important to make sure that the shampoo you use is gentle and sulphate free. Recommendation: L’Oreal OleoTherapy Sulfate Free Shampoo
3. Condition your hair in the right way: Your conditioner has been designed to make your hair soft, smooth and more manageable, but when you don’t use it the right way, it can actually add to your hair woes. Make sure to use the right amount of conditioner—not too much and not too little. Moreover, avoid the roots of your hair and focus on the lengths and ends of your hair. Once you have applied the conditioner, leave it on for about 4-5 minutes and use a wide toothed comb to distribute the conditioner evenly across your hair. Recommendation: Organix Morocco Aragan Oil Conditioner.
4. Use a leave-in hair product: Using a leave-in conditioner or a dry oil once you have washed your hair can go a long way in keeping your hair soft and smooth for days after. It helps combat the effects of humidity and keeps your hair frizz-free.Recommendation: Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Leave-In Conditioning Cream
5. Oil your hair once a week: The rainy season does not mean that you no longer have to oil your hair. Oiling your hair with natural oils such as cold pressed virgin coconut oil, sweet almond oil or olive oil, can go a long way in keeping your hair soft and smooth throughout the season. Moreover, this adds nourishment to your hair and makes it stronger and resistant to breakage. If you’re averse to the idea of oiling your hair, opt for a nourishing hair mask. Recommendation: Ouai Hair Oil
6. Avoid using heat styling treatments: If you use heat styling treatments on your hair too frequently, they are sure to make your hair super dry, especially at this time of the year. Use heat-free styling methods to style your hair as far as possible. If you do end up using heat treatments, make sure to use products designed to protect your hair from heat damage.
7. Eat the right foods: Eating the right foods, such as proteins and the good fats, is the most natural way in which you can make sure that your hair remains soft, smooth and beautiful. Your hair will surely reflect the goodness of your diet.
