6 tips to manage your hair during the rainy season

6 tips to manage your hair during the rainy season

The monsoon season offers a refreshing break from the scorching summer heat, but it also presents a myriad of hair care challenges. The high humidity and sudden downpours can wreak havoc on our hair, making it frizzy, limp, and unmanageable. Shailesh Moolya, National Technical Head at Godrej Professional, shares his expert advice on navigating these hair woes and maintaining beautiful, healthy hair throughout the season.Â

The primary issue during the monsoon is frizz. The increased moisture in the air causes hair cuticles to swell, leading to frizzy and unruly locks. Additionally, the scalp tends to become oily while the hair ends can dry out, creating a challenging situation to manage. Rainwater, often laden with pollutants, can also make hair dull and lifeless. However, with the right care and products, you can keep your hair healthy and beautiful all season long.Â

1. Keep Your Hair Dry: It might seem obvious, but the best way to protect your hair during the monsoon is to keep it dry. Always carry an umbrella or a raincoat with a hood to shield your hair from getting wet. If your hair does get wet, make sure to wash it with a mild shampoo and conditioner as soon as possible to remove any pollutants. 

1. Use the right products: Wash your hair regularly to keep the scalp clean and free from infections and opt for shampoos and conditioners that are specifically designed for your hair type. For instance, using a hydrating shampoo which is Paraben free-range can help maintain the moisture balance, while a good conditioner can keep the frizz at bay. Additionally, indulge in a deep conditioning treatment once a week to keep your hair nourished and hydrated. 

1. Control frizz: To combat frizz, use a good quality serum. Apply it on damp hair to lock in moisture and keep your hair smooth. For those struggling with severe frizz, consider getting professional botosmooth treatment. This treatment helps to restore and revitalise all types of hair, providing long-lasting smoothness even in humid conditions. 

1. Avoid heat styling: Excessive use of heat styling tools can further damage your hair during the monsoon. Try to embrace your natural hair texture and avoid blow-drying or straightening your hair frequently. If you must use heat, apply a heat protectant spray beforehand. 

1. Protective hairdo: Consider using protective hairstyles like ponytails, buns or braids to minimise hair exposure to the humid environment. These styles help in reducing tangling and breakage, keeping your hair neat. They also prevent the hair from absorbing too much moisture from the air, which can lead to frizz. 

1. A healthy diet and hydration is the key: Your hair health reflects your overall health. Ensure you have a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Foods like eggs, nuts, spinach, and berries can promote healthy hair growth. Drink plenty of water to keep your hair and scalp hydrated from within. Proper hydration helps in maintaining the elasticity and strength of your hair. 

The monsoon season doesn't have to be a bad hair season. With a little extra care and the right products, you can manage your hair effectively and keep it looking gorgeous. Remember, healthy hair starts with a good hair care routine.
