Monsoon is one of the best seasons to have a cup of chai and pakoras. But hey, with the monsoon, comes the disaster of bad, frizzy and unmanageable hair. Yes, I hear you, all of us have this problem during monsoon and I am going to help you save your hair. season
The first thing I swear by is ‘oil your hair’. Despite what weather it is, your hair needs the essential nourishment. Oiling will keep your hair healthy. Just use a minimal amount of oil to massage your hair and scalp, excess oil will lead to more shampoo usage which, in turn, will dry your scalp out giving rise to itchiness.
Do you like going out in the rain and dance to the patter? Go ahead and get drenched but as soon as you come indoors, wash your hair and scalp thoroughly. The rainwater that you just enjoyed is loaded with acidic properties which are super harmful to your tresses. So clean that scalp first.
During monsoon and otherwise, you need to wash your hair 3-4 times a week. Particularly for this season, use an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal shampoo. The humid air can cause your scalp to itch.
If you are looking for a solution to your frizzy hair, change your shampoo and conditioner to ones that have anti-frizz properties and most importantly, add that anti-frizz serum to finish your hair routine. This will help you manage that frizz. Hair masks can do magic to your hair; you can buy one from the market or DIY masks for frizz.
To get rid of our frizz, we usually land up blow-drying and styling our hair. Styling products are a must to use when we blow-dry our hair or style them. But considering the high humidity levels, none of these products will be able to hold your hair in place.. So why not use a different styling way for your hair in the monsoon? Try scrunching your hair or just roughly twist your hair and tie it up for 20 minutes when it is semi-dry. This will add definition to your curls and is an easy way to style your hair without unnecessary heat exposure. You can also use hair accessories like clips, bands, or simple braiding or twisting your hair to create a fun look that will last unlike your blow-dry.
Some other things to keep in mind.
- Don’t comb your hair too often, it causes more frizz and static.
- Hold all your hair colouring and straightening treatments till the end of monsoon.
- Do not get a short hair cut in the already unmanageable, frizzy hair season.
Adapt these changes and show off a strong hair game this monsoon!
