Tackling Monsoon Hair Fall: Effective Causes & Prevention Strategies

When hair fall woes in monsoon strike, you know the struggle is real. Way too real, in fact. But that does not mean you lose heart and do nothing. You’ve got to soldier up and fight the battle of monsoon frizz and hair fall so your tresses can come out victorious, year after year. In this article, we’ll tell you all about how to armor up against monsoon and come out unscathed, hair-wise. 

Understanding Monsoon Hair Fall

Know your enemy, they say. To fight the battle of monsoon-induced hair fall, you’ve got to know why it happens. 

Humidity is the biggest culprit behind monsoon hair fall. All the airborne hydrogen triggers the sensitivity of your tresses, making your locks fragile and more prone to breaking. And oh did we mention it can lead to dandruff too?

In fact, humidity also causes frizz, so you end up with dryer and rougher hair that is likely to tangle and break easily. Needless to say, this problem needs to be tackled as soon as the season sets in. 

Effective Hair Care Routine As The Cure 

The best way to fight and win this is to have an effective monsoon hair care routine in place. You have to be armed to the hilt with the right kind of products ready to grab the bull by the horns if need be. Let’s walk you through the steps and products you need. 

First things first, you need a good shampoo. And you need to make sure you use that shampoo 2-3 times per week to fight off excess oil build up and dandruff that humidity can cause. 

One of the best anti-dandruff shampoos you’ll find is our Green Tea & Gotu Kola Hair Wash. This Ayurvedic blend of herbs is great at deep cleansing your scalp, nourishing it and fighting dandruff. 

Post-shampoo, you’ve got to follow it up with a nice, rich conditioner that does not weigh your hair down and prevents frizz from setting in. Your conditioner should ideally lock the moisture in your tresses, preventing tangles too. 

The perfect product in that regard is our Green Tea & Gotu Kola Hair Conditioner. It’s been formulated with ingredients such as shikakai, aloe vera and honey to strengthen your hair, keep breakage at bay and lock in moisture. 

Strengthen and Protect Your Hair Against The Rigors of the Season

Your haircare routine needs to go a step beyond shampoo and conditioner to get you through the perils of monsoon. Incorporating a hair oil and a scalp treatment routine is a must too. 

• Scalp Treatment

Humidity, as you know, can wreak havoc on your scalp health leading to issues such as weakened roots and dandruff. However, a scalp treatment massage with the right oil (such as our Blissful Bhringaraj Head Massage Oil) can help you beat that. 

Scalp massage oils help in stimulating your scalp, improving blood circulation so new hair growth can take place. Plus, they also strengthen your roots, leaving you with nourished hair. Do this at least once a week and leave the oil on for 30 minutes before shampooing. 

• Hair Oil

On the days you do not indulge in a scalp treatment, you need to treat your hair right with hair oil. Before you hit the shower for a shampoo session, make sure your tresses and scalp are covered in oil that keeps their strength intact and prevents monsoon hair fall. Like our Kudrat Anti Hair Fall Hair Oil. 

Bhringaraj, amla, methi, shikakai and vitamin C find their way into this hair oil, imparting your tresses with nourishment and strength, thereby reducing hair fall. It  may just end your quest for the best ayurvedic hair oil. 

Here’s How To Avoid Hair Damage

Maintaining a haircare routine that favors your tresses in the monsoons is one thing. Preventing or rather avoiding damage is another. Here are some tips that can help you out. 

• Keep rainwater away from your hair is it can be acidic or dirty
• Keep your hair dry to prevent excess moisture build-up and frizz 
• Avoid heat styling tools to since hair can be weaker during monsoons 
• Oil your hair regularly to improve blood circulation and promote new hair growth 
• Eat a healthy diet to ensure your scalp and tresses get all the nutrients they need to be strong 

Also, make sure you use the right hair care products that protect your scalp and hair from the rigors of monsoon. Your chosen products should tame frizz, control hair fall and cure dandruff. 

Use Natural Hair Colors and Treatments

Bleach is one of the absolute worst things you can do to your hair. More so in monsoons as your roots and locks are already weakened and prone to breakage. If you must color your hair, we suggest going down the organic hair color route. They not only impart your hair with a rich color but they’re also damage-free and can actually nourish your strands instead of weakening them. You can check out our range of organic hair colors to reap their benefits. They’ll leave your locks intensely nourished and hydrated without weighing them down. Not to mention they’ll add an extra layer of sheen too.
