Tips for Happy Hair this Monsoon

The rains bring in a lot of respite from the heat and dust and we are ever thankful to the Universe for this pleasant change. There is nothing more wonderful than feeling the drops of rain on your face, but when the hair gets wet is when you feel the itchy and flakiness of the scalp. This leads to a smelly scalp and the hair becomes limp. Just as in summer, the hair also needs TLC and some pampering for nourishment and a healthy bounce. Check out this DIY regime for healthy hair in the monsoons:

1. Oil your hair regularly at least every weekend as this keeps the scalp nourished and strong. Check out this link for oiling your hair the right way…

2. When we get wet in the rain which is unavoidable sometimes we just take a shower and leave the hair to dry by itself or just towel dry it. This leads to the stimulation of the sebaceous glands in the scalp which leads to itchy scalp and sometimes dandruff. So please wash your hair with a mild shampoo to wash of the grime after you reach home.

3. It would be best to trim your hair and keep it slightly shorter than usual as you would be frequently washing your hair in the rainy season. If you are into gymming everyday you need to wash your hair daily so it’s best to get yourself a short hair cut.

4. Avoid  blow drying with hot air option, using those curling rods and heating tongs, as the heat from these instruments are a complete no no when it comes to the dampness in the air and your hair styles may not last long enough and could become limp.

5. Avoid eating oily and greasy food and stick to healthy diet with fresh veggies, fruits, salads, warm soups and staying hydrated whether its summer, monsoons or the cold winters.

Use an umbrella or wear a rain coat to protect your hair and yourself and just follow these tips for a healthy and happy hair these monsoons.
