New Delhi: Monsoon winds have already entered India. Torrential rain happening everyday may prove to be a relief from the heat, but it also leads to a number of problems. People with long hair need to take special care during Monsoons.
Monsoon triggers Hair loss and increases risk of dandruff and fungal infections. A little carelessness with hair could prove harmful. Experts believe that Monsoon is not the right time to experiment with hair. Also, the use of newly launched hair products should be minimised.
Not only that, you can avoid hair loss by taking care of many other things during monsoons. Let us tak about things you can do to take care of your hair.
Shampooing: After enjoying the rains, women often blow dry their hair without washing or shampooing. However, experts believe that rain water has a number of impurities which may damage your hair. These impurities may make the hair sticky and damaged. Hence, usage of shampoo is always recommended.
Usage of Chemical-Free Shampoo: Choosing the right shampoo is crucial for healthy hair. Due to the humidity in the monsoon season, a lot of sweat gets accumulated in the hair, due to which the hair becomes sticky. In such a situation, women should wash their hair frequently. Also, avoid using chemical- based shampoos for your hair.
Say 'No' to Hair Dryer: Minimize the use of the hairdryer to dry the hair. Rainwater makes the roots of your hair quite weak. In such a situation, blowing hot air on the hair can weaken them further. Use a microfiber tissue to absorb moisture from the hair. Avoid brushing and combing wet hair.
Pay Attention To Your Hair Health: It is also important to take care of hair health to prevent hair fall. To take special care of your skin and hair, take care of vitamins and minerals in the diet. The lack of vitamins A, C, D, E and B, zinc, iron, protein and fatty acids in the diet makes the hair roots weak. Due to this the condition of the hair starts deteriorating and your hair eventually starts to fall.
