Natural & healthy hair habits during the monsoon!

We are born with unique genetics, which shape our health and overall well-being. This is defined by the balance of three doshas—Vata, Kapha, and Pitta—that govern the body’s proper functioning. According to the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences, when these doshas become imbalanced, it can lead to visible internal and external changes.

Did you know that the humid weather of the monsoon season tends to slow down the Vata dosha while aggravating the Pitta and Kapha doshas ? This often results in various skin and hair issues.

The increased moisture in the air during the monsoon can worsen hair frizz, dandruff, dirt, and dryness; monsoon hair fall is a major cause for concern. These difficulties can also result in microbial infections that damage hair roots and cause breakage and other associated problems.

Hence, we recommend following a monsoon-specific hair care routine to combat these effects and regain lost hair health.

Oiling

One key practice in hair care is oiling. Regular oiling, at least twice a week, is essential to keep the hair moisturized and prevent dryness. Oiling nourishes the hair, boosts blood circulation, helps prevent hair fall during the monsoon season, de-stresses the scalp, and strengthens hair follicles, ensuring healthier hair overall.

Mild  cleansing

Rainfalls, while relaxing for us, can be harsh on your hair. Its acidic composition might throw off the pH balance of your scalp, causing hair loss and breaking. Washing your hair as soon as possible after getting wet in the rain is crucial to preventing this.

Opt for gentle, paraben-free shampoos like ADVAYA Anti-hair Fall Cleanser. This shampoo moisturizes hair without stripping the scalp of its natural oils, providing nourishment and protection during the monsoon season.

Deep conditioning

Deep conditioning is essential for combating monsoon hair problems. Both hair masks and conditioners are crucial for replenishing lost moisture and preventing frizz and dullness.

Include a weekly hair mask like ADVAYA Gleaming Hair Mask to give your hair additional hydration and nourishment. Look for hair care masks and conditioners with components that can help strengthen and restore your hair, such as Hibiscus, Amla, or Fenugreek.

Avoid using heat or styling tools.

Wet hair is fragile and prone to breakage. To protect your hair, avoid combing it while damp. Opt for air drying to minimize damage. During the monsoon, steer clear of heat-styling tools and chemicals to prevent further stress on your hair. Gently brush your hair from ends to roots to detangle without causing harm.

Following these basic monsoon hair care recommendations will make your locks look beautiful and healthy throughout the rainy season. Remember that maintaining hydrated, protected, and lovingly nourished hair is crucial. With the appropriate practices, you may wave goodbye to hair problems caused by the monsoon and hello to gorgeous, manageable locks.
