Along with skin problems, hair related problems also increase during monsoon season. Due to high humidity in the air, the scalp becomes oily, which increases the risk of dirt, sweat and fungal infections. It affects the hair roots and may increase the rate of hair breakage or fall. Hair expert Javed Habib recommends adopting some easy tips to control it.
Try these tips to prevent hair fall:
Wash your hair regularly: Oil and dirt quickly accumulate on the scalp during monsoon. Therefore, to keep the scalp clean and hair roots healthy, wash hair regularly with mild shampoo as needed.
Use oil instead of conditioner: If your hair is not too dry, use light hair oil instead of heavy conditioner during monsoon. Massage the hair gently with oil a few hours before washing the hair, then shampoo. This provides nourishment to the hair and can reduce hair breakage.
Use multani mitti: If your scalp becomes too oily, apply multani mitti hair pack once a week. It helps remove excess oil and dirt, keep the scalp fresh and strengthen the hair roots.
Also keep these things in mind:
Avoid combing wet hair, because when wet the hair is very weak and can break easily.
Do not keep hair wet for long. After shampooing, pat dry gently with a towel and allow hair to dry naturally.
Minimize use of heat styling tools.
Have a balanced diet and consume nutrients like protein, iron, biotin, zinc and vitamin D in the right quantity.
If hair gets wet during rain, wash it with clean water after returning home so that dirt and pollutants do not accumulate on the scalp.
If hair fall is persistent or excessive, do not rely solely on home remedies; Consult a dermatologist.
