 Reasons for Hair Fall in Monsoon:

Hair fall during the monsoon can be attributed to several reasons, including

  • High moisture content in the air causes excessive hydrogen absorption, leading to frizzy and brittle hair prone to breakage.
  • Increased moisture and dampness create a favorable environment for fungus and bacteria on the scalp, causing infections, redness, itching, and subsequent hair loss.
  • Humidity during the monsoon can result in a dry scalp, stripping the hair of its natural oils and making it more vulnerable to damage.

But fear not! By taking immediate action, you can avoid all monsoon hair problems, whether it's avoiding fungal infections, a patchy scalp, or fragile hair strands. So, Follow the 6 effective tips mentioned below to keep your hair healthy and beautiful this monsoon season.

 6 Effective Tips to Prevent Hair Fall During Monsoon

Opt for a Sulfate-Free Shampoo: Sulfate-containing shampoos strip away natural oils of the hair, leading to dryness and increased frizz making it more prone to breakage and damage. To tackle excessive hair fall during the monsoon, switch to mild and 100% natural sulfate-free shampoos like Ayouthveda Anti-hairfall shampoo infused with a blend of 25 botanical extracts and essential oils to help prevent hair fall, strengthens hair follicles, and maintains moisture balance.

Use a Microfiber Towel for Drying: Minimize hair fall by using a microfiber towel to dry your hair. These towels absorb water quickly and reduce friction between the hair and the towel, thus preventing hair breakage.

Avoid Chemical Treatments: During the monsoon season, it is advisable to postpone hair treatments such as coloring, perming, and other chemical procedures. These treatments can make your hair greasy, leading to scalp and hair damage, and increased hair loss. Additionally, refrain from using hair gels and sprays, as they can exacerbate the problem.

Embrace Hair Accessories: During the monsoons, it is advisable to avoid elaborate hairstyles and tight hair ties that cause hair fall, especially when hair is already fragile. Instead using fashionable hair accessories like colorful headbands, scarves, or trendy hair clips can both adorn your hair and protect it from the rain while keeping you in line with the latest fashion trends, providing a stylish alternative to traditional hairstyles that can be affected by the rain.

Oil Massages: If you neglect to oil your hair during the monsoon season, your hair won't receive the necessary nutrients, resulting in dryness, frizz, and breakage. Moreover, your scalp may suffer from increased dandruff and itchiness. It is recommended to oil your hair 2-3 times a week and for that you can use oils like Coconut, Almond, and Castor oil, or consider using Ayouthveda Protein hair oil for extra nourishment and care with 9 nourishing oils and 12 herbal extracts present in it to reduces hair fall while restoring lost moisture, and nourishing both your hair and scalp with its abundant protein. For dry and normal hair, leave the oil on overnight, and for oily hair, a couple of hours before washing will suffice.

Hair tonics provide essential nutrients needed to strengthen the hair follicles, making them more resistant to damage caused by such environmental factors, such as Ayouthveda Anti-Hairfall tonic, a water-based and non-sticky formulation with 42 herbal botanicals to help prevent hair breakage and shield your hair from further damage, its antimicrobial properties combat fungal and bacterial infections that may arise due to the damp weather.
