Ultimate Hair Care Tips For Monsoon:

According to the Ayurveda, our overall health is dependent on the equilibrium of Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas in the body. These three viral energies are known for governing all our bodily functionalities. Individuals start facing several hair issues when all three doshas are in imbalanced conditions. As the environment suddenly changes during the monsoon, the body tends to suffer due to several different reasons. Many deals with oily scalp, dandruff, itchiness, and hair loss. Take a look at how you can solve these common hair problems.

1. Wash Hair After It Gets Wet In Rain

When you drench your hair in the rain, the water tends to make it greasy, oily and in some cases dull. This is because of the dirt and other pollutants present in the air that sticks to your hair through rainwater. If the rainwater consists of harmful pollutants, then it can damage your cuticles leading to rough and dry hair. Also, if the pH balance (triggering the Kapha doshas) of the rainwater is high then it would lead to brittle hair conditions. Whenever you wet hair in the rain, wash them properly at home and clean them nicely.

2. Stop Hairloss During Monsoon

Having a balanced diet is mandatory in order to keep your hair in good condition. As hair suffers a lot due to external conditions during monsoon, it is crucial to treat them with a nutritional diet that can promote hair health thereby reducing the loss. What to eat for good hair? Include fenugreek(methi) seeds in your diet. These help to keep hormones in balance and reduce hair loss. Here’s a list of food that promotes hair health:

• Berries
• Spinach

Keep track of how often you wash your hair with shampoo. Washing hair with shampoo every other day is extremely harmful to your hair and scalp. Although many shampoos in the market are designed to clean the scalp and to remove excess oil, it often ends up becoming the reason for new hair problems resulting in hair loss and weakening them. These days there are several Shampoos found in the market with harmful chemicals. These products make your scalp too dry and damage the organic oil of your scalp.
