Hair care tips by Hairguru Daksh Dubey

The rainy season has something which makes us let ourselves loose and dance in the water.
This season is most romantic but brings a lot more than that. With monsoon comes various health and beauty issues, you feel the need to take special care of yourself.

Common hair problems in monsoon:

Frizzy hair
Hairfall
Dandruff and itchy scalp, etc

Tips for hair care during monsoon:

• Like your skin, your hair also needs hydration. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. Use the right comb to untangle your hair and a wide-toothed comb.
• This weather makes people eat oily and junk food. The greasiness naturally wreaks havoc in your system and results in hair fall. Instead, try eating healthy and homemade; include more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy, and healthy fats like omega 3 fat.
• Nothing’s as good as a good old hair oil massage for your hair. Hence, oil your hair at least twice a week. Oil massage for the scalp is needed in all seasons and monsoon is no exception.
• The humidity often attracts a lot of dirt and dust which then settles down and makes hair brittle and heavy
• Wash your hair at least twice a week. Use a mild shampoo and always dilute the shampoo with an equal quantity of water and then apply it to the scalp.
• Carry an umbrella or a raincoat all times, and in case you forget to carry one, cover your hair with a stole or a scarf and avoid exposing your hair to the rain
• Use a conditioner after every wash but apply it on the shaft and not on the scalp and roots
• Exercise daily
  Sleep well
  Avoid stress and try yoga
  Avoid different hairstyling, keep hair simple and loose, not too tight with a rubber band.
  Avoid eating all refined, processed, sugary, salty food and aerated drinks.
  Avoid hair dryers.
  Don’t smoke and avoid drinking alcohol

Home remedies:

• Soak fenugreek (methi) seeds in water overnight. Strain the water the next day and use this water to wash your hair. Methi is effective for many hair problems.
• Mix two spoons of curd with egg and apply it to your hair for 15-20 minutes. Use this mixture as a conditioner. It will make your hair soft and shiny.
