Unlocking the Secrets to Monsoon Hair Care
Monsoon is a great time to relax. The cool air, the windy weather and the sound of rainfall casts a refreshing spell on us. Sometimes we are even tempted to go outside and spend some time soaking under the rain. As refreshing as this sounds, there are some hidden misfortunes of rain that might cause some problems for your hair.
We would recommend you to enjoy the weather by staying indoors sipping coffee and watching a good movie. Rainwater mixes up with a lot of chemicals and pollutants that are present in the air. When this contaminated rainwater touches our hair, it leaves a dirty residue that accumulates on our hair and leaves it dry and rough. But even if you are not going out in the rain, the increased humidity in the air will worsen the quality of your hair.
If love monsoon but hate what it does to your hair, here are some tips that will keep your hair safe from the dryness and humidity of the monsoon weather.
The best hair care item for monsoon is coconut oil which contains fatty acids that deeply penetrate the hair shafts to provide moisture and nourishment from within. Use coconut oil to tame the frizz of your hair, keep it soft, detangled and manageable.
Once or twice a week, apply coconut oil in your hair by warming up the oil a bit. Apply the oil on your scalp and then coat your hair strands with the oil. Now to maximize the benefits of the oil, warm up a towel using hot water, wring the towel dry and then wrap the warm towel over your scalp and your hair. Once the towel cools off, warm it up and wrap your hair in it again. Repeat this for 3-4 times, and keep your hair wrapped for an hour before washing it off.
Another great way to use coconut oil for extra nourishment to your hair is to make a hair treatment pack using egg and mayonnaise. Take one teaspoon of coconut oil, one tablespoon of mayo, and an egg. Mix it all up to make a thick paste and apply to the strands of your hair. Let the pack sit for an hour before washing it off. This longer method also has long-lasting effects that keep your hair manageable, soft, and shiny.
If you are in a hurry, use coconut oil as a pre-shampoo treatment. Apply coconut oil to your hair 20 minutes before washing it. Do this every time before you wash your hair and you will thank yourself when you see that your hair is gradually getting strong and healthy.
Also important is a leave-in conditioner for your hair. If you do not want to use a product with chemicals in it during monsoon, a good alternative is to take a tiny bit of coconut oil on your palms and slightly brush your hand over your hair to keep the frizz down.
A pro tip for you, if you can’t resist getting out in the rain, is to protect your hair before you let the rain water touch the strands. Take a handful of coconut oil and coat your strands with the oil before you go out to soak in the rain. The layer of oil will add protection to your hair strands and not let the pollution-infested water break down the outer cuticle of your hair.
Other tips for maintaining good hair health during monsoon include using cold water to wash your hair instead of warm water, a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair, and regularly oiling your hair to avoid making it lose moisture due to increased humidity.
Additionally, it is important to remember the significance of maintaining a well-balanced diet that includes nourishing foods like fish, walnuts, eggs, and leafy greens. Prioritizing your overall health is a fundamental aspect of monsoon hair care.
It is essential to note that these hair care tips will show results over time, so it is absolutely mandatory that you practice these tips regularly. By adhering to a dedicated monsoon hair care routine, you will be able to have luscious locks and a healthy scalp even during times of heavy rainfall.
