The magical monsoons are well upon us. Welcoming bounteous rains with open arms, it indeed is the best time for weekend getaways, hit the hill stations, walk through the greenery, or simply be at your home sipping on a cup of coffee. While we cherish the rainy season for the peace it brings to the mind and body, there are certain health-related challenges rains come along with, in form of contamination, water-borne illness, and infections. Who doesn’t know how overwhelming hair care during monsoons can be? One of the not-so-nice effects of the monsoon is frizz, dandruff, and excessive hair fall. Losing an average of 50 to 100 strands of hair at other times and 200 to 250 in the rainy season is considered normal but when it starts to wither away drastically, it becomes alarming. And then there are other hitches like stickiness, flatness, multiple tangles, and brittleness due to excessive moisture as hair tends to absorb hydrogen during monsoon leading to breakage. The humidity also strips the scalp of its natural oils making roots weak. A hair scalp that is damp-ridden becomes a breeding ground for infections and dandruff.
To get rid of these dreadful dilemmas, an easy way out and a sure shot one is a thorough cleansing of your manes, keeping them dry, applying protein-rich hair masks, strengthening shampoos, hair conditioners, and hair serums besides mild oiling and of course an intake of a healthy diet.

How To Prevent Hair Fall During Monsoons?
Fighting monsoon woes can be a challenge for anyone. While keeping your hair clean to ward off bacteria and fungus can be a good way to keep your tresses healthy, here are a few other ideas that may do wonders to your lovely locks:
Avoid Getting Drenched
Rainwater comes mixed with many pollutants and acids and may not be as great for your hair as it appears to be. Its acidic content can cause an imbalance in the pH levels of the scalp, weakening roots and leading to hair fall. If at all you want to get soaked in the rainwater, wash your hair as soon as possible with shampoo to prevent infection and dandruff.
Oiling Is A Must
Pampering your tresses with hot oil is an all-time fabulous idea. Whether you have a dry, normal, or oily scalp, oiling hair provides the necessary hydration and nourishment. However, avoid leaving it too greasy during monsoon times owing to increased humidity levels.
Eat A Nutrient-Dense Diet
Nutritional deficiencies could be a potent reason for hair fall. Monsoon ushers in loads of green leafy veggies and fruits rich in fibre, vitamins, potassium, and iron. They can be added easily to get adequate amounts of folic acid and vitamins to strengthen your hair follicles. These constituents will promise lustrous hair and prevent hair loss.
Lock-In Moisture
One of the most common monsoons induced woes is brittle hair. A home-based remedy or a moisture-dense product can lock in moisture in the manes for a longer period. In case of excessive breakage, supplements can be taken but do consult a doctor first.
