The cool, breezy wind...the warm smell of fried snacks filling up our homes and hearts...and, the endless spells of rain, are all around the corner. As much as the rainy season might be our favourite, there is one thing about it which dampens all our plans of having a great hair day, everyday- HAIR FALL IN MONSOON!
It is a very common problem among both men and women, but why exactly does it happen? And what are some ways through which you can give your locks the ultimate hair care in monsoon? Read on!
Why does hair fall increase in monsoon?
Monsoons bring with them a rise in the humidity, or moisture, levels in the atmosphere. This causes our hair to absorb moisture and swell up, thus making the brittle and frizzy hairs vulnerable to easy breakage. Humidity also robs the scalp of its natural oils, again leading to a drier scalp and weaker roots. In fact, scalp hair is at its weakest during this time. Many estimates also show that hair fall in monsoon is more prominent and persistent. On a normal day, it is common to experience hair fall of about 50-60 hairs per day; during monsoons, this number can increase to up to 250 or more.
Furthermore, rainwater is dirty and acidic (pH -5.6) also due to increased air pollution, and this casts a corrosive effect upon our scalp, hair roots/follicles and along the hair length, again increasing hair-shedding.
Another big reason is the difficulty in keeping hair dry- the moisture in the scalp weakens the hair-follicle strength, causing hairs strands to appear dead and dull, get tangled up, and eventually fall off.
Not just hair fall, other concerns also crop-up alongside, which make it inexcusable to do intensive hair care in monsoon. Dandruff becomes an added worry. Generally, it is caused when the malassezia yeast overgrows and starts attacking scalp cells at a high rate, forming sticky patches and causing itchiness. But for many people, it definitely accentuates during monsoons, because increased humidity and hot air can cause you to sweat on your scalp, which equals excess oil production and thus leads to dandruff.
Due to all this stickiness, grease, and all the above problems co-existing in your hair-world, various fungi and bacteria find a homely breeding ground to multiply in, and cause itchiness, flaking, and redness on your scalp.
How to control hair fall in monsoon?
Sigh! Is there anything you can do to prevent your beautiful locks from breaking away? See the following tips below, and learn how to do hair care in rainy season just the right way to beat the hair fall blues!
Finally, saving yourself from hair fall in monsoon can be a task, but make sure you routinely follow all the above precautions, and you are all set to both enjoying monsoon showers AND keeping your hair healthy, strong and nourished!
