Is It Normal To Experience Hair Fall During The Monsoon Season?

The monsoons have finally returned after a long, hot, blazing summer! While all you want to do is sip some warm delicious tea, jump into a puddle with your umbrella and enjoy this refreshing season to the fullest, the negative effects of monsoons on your hair can certainly bring you back from this paradise. 

How does hair fall increase in the monsoons?

Humidity is the major factor contributing to increased hair fall during the monsoon season. When it begins to rain, the amount of hydrogen in the air increases as the humidity increases. The hair absorbs this hydrogen causing it to expand. As a result, the hair strands not only become brittle, but they also lose their natural oils, which weaken the hair follicles and make them prone to breakage.

In addition to humidity, hair loss occurs during the monsoons as a result of polluted rains. Pollutants include germs and bacteria that are harmful to your hair follicles and scalp. When these pathogens settle on your scalp, they can cause skin infections, weakened hair and eventually lead to hair loss.

This sulphate-free mask will strengthen your hair, leaving them smooth, flexible and lustrous.

2. Enrich With Nourish Shine Argan Oil

The biggest concern that most people have with the monsoon season is that it ruins hair health by making hair dry, dull and brittle. This is where we can help you find a solution. With the Godrej Professional Nourish Shine Argan Oil, you can say goodbye to dull hair and welcome glossy, moisturised, and shiny hair.

Usage Recommendation:

• Take a small quantity of the Nourish Shine Argan Hair Oil on your palms.
• Apply evenly on the hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.
• Do not apply to the scalp.

The best part of this Argan Hair Oil is that it can be used on all Indian hair types and is also safe for chemically-treated and coloured hair.

3. Restore With Keracare Repair Combo

Given the damage that rains can cause to the hair, it becomes extremely important to choose the correct shampoo and conditioner for your hair type that not only helps to manage frizz but is also safe. This is why our experts recommend using the Godrej Professional Keracare Repair Combo that is sulphate and paraben-free and hence safe for regular use on the hair.

• Rinse hair with the Keracare Repair Shampoo.
• Drain out the excess water and apply the mask evenly on the mid-lengths and ends of hair.

Enriched with grapeseed oil and wheat protein, this duo can help repair and strengthen brittle hair. It revives chemically processed hair making it soft, moisturised and shiny. 

4. Maintain Dry Hair

This is one of the most vital monsoon hair care tips. Rainwater generally has a higher acidic value because it absorbs pollutants from the environment. When your hair comes into contact with this precipitation, it becomes brittle and frizzy. Furthermore, your hair follicles may become more sensitive and begin to absorb more rainwater, causing your roots to enlarge and hair to fall out. So keep your hair dry as much as possible or use a microfiber towel to dry it.

5. Eat a Healthy Diet

Diet is essential in every season to keep your hair healthy. Your food has a significant impact on your hair health and hence, you should add high protein meals to your daily diet, such as eggs, walnuts, whole grains and certain dairy products. Additionally, consume fruits rich in antioxidants and green vegetables to add shine to your hair.

And now that you've read these monsoon hair care tips, it's time to quit hiding from the rains and start flaunting your gorgeous hair.
