2. Protect your Hair from Rain:

Ensure your hair is dry during monsoon. Your hair needs protection from dirty and acidic rainwater as it can cause hair damage and increases the probability of hair fall, dandruff etc.  

• You can protect your hair with a nice head cover, an umbrella or a raincoat.

3. Loose Braid Hairstyle:

If you want to prevent your hair from breakage and further damage you should braid your hair all the time. Your hair tends to get weak and vulnerable during monsoon, which makes them easily prone to breakage. Hence tight hairstyles will pull out clumps of hair daily making the situation even worse.

• Avoid tight ponytail hairstyles and go for loose braids.

4. Short Hair:

Short hair is not only a summer thing now. You can cut your hair short and reduce the hassle of maintaining long hair. Short hair also does away with the problems like split ends, hair breakage and hair damage.

• Use wide tooth wooden comb to prevent hair breakage.

6. Hair Wash Routine:

Hair tends to become greasy and oily during monsoon. It is advisable to wash your hair 2-3 times in a week to keep your scalp healthy and clean, free from any dirt, residue, pollution and oil. Make sure you use mild sulfate free shampoo. Wash your hair with cold or lukewarm water as it helps prevent drying out of hair.

7. No Hot Styling Tools & Products:

Using hair styling tools like straightener, curler, blow dryer and other hair products frequently could be one of the reasons you are losing your hair at an alarming rate. As mentioned earlier hair tends to get weak during monsoon, so by using any heat, you are increasing the risk of permanent hair damage.

• Avoid using hot styling hair tools and chemical hair products.

8. Use Natural products:

Instead of getting chemical based, expensive and time-consuming salon treatments, look for natural and herbal products for hair. There are numerous natural ingredients that deliver impressive benefits and make your hair look and feel healthy and beautiful naturally. Use an herbal shampoo, natural hair pack and a natural hair dye this season.

9. Eat right food:

Hair loss can be an outcome of nutrients deficiency caused due to poor eating habits.  You can improve the condition of your hair by including the right food in the right amount in your diet. The three main nutrients needed for well-being of your hair are omega 3 fatty acids, protein and iron. Eat foods that are rich in above mentioned nutrients to strengthen the hair follicles. It is also necessary to keep yourself hydrated for better nourishment of your hair. Drink enough water and eat right food to make your hair strong and healthy from within.

10. Exercise & Meditate:

Just like eating right food, exercising regularly and meditating is also important as it gives an oxygen boost to your hair.
