Monsoons are not really a friend for your tresses. Monsoon brings with it a host of hair care problems like limpness, greasiness and hair fall. The heightened moisture in the air makes the texture of hair dull, flat and tangled. As a result your tresses can look limp and unattractive. . In this season, a thorough hair care regime and the right selection of hair products that give gentle and effective care becomes crucial.
Some tips to protect your hair in Monsoons:
Use a mild shampoo, preferably shampoos with the right mix of nature and science
Hair should be washed regularly.
After every wash, applying a conditioner is recommended
Drink plenty of water.
Eat a balanced, protein-rich diet, along with plenty of fruit and vegetables.
For normal hair you would need a mild shampoo for daily use during the monsoon months. A gentle caring shampoo with natural extracts like thyme and juniper would be ideal for daily use and give the right shine and bounce to your tresses.
Magnolia blossoms and watercress extracts are good for those with dry hair, who would need a moisturizing quotient in their shampoos, to prevent the hair from becoming frizzy during monsoons.
Oily hair tends to become limp during monsoons and requires shampoos that will give volume to the hair. Natural extracts like rosemary and sage can give that extra bounce and vitality to limp hair.
Frizzy hair is a common problem in monsoons, as excess humidity in the environment tends to make the hair dry and coarse. Therefore conditioning is very important in monsoon. A good conditioner smoothens out the hair, making it easily manageable. Extracts like Avocada oil and Burdock in conditioners will give the hair a silky smooth feel and also help prevent hairfall.
