Tips on Hair Care During Rainy Season
Monsoon is known for its hot and humid nature and that is not at all a favorable situation for your hair. This rainy season destroys your hair and for this reason it is often called the bad hair season. For this reason hair needs a little more care during rainy season than other, seasons to maintain its natural health and shine.
In this season all types of hair get sticky and greasy. So, wash your hair almost everyday with mild shampoo to get rid of the excessive oiliness of hair. People, except those with naturally oily hair, should use conditioner to maintain shine and stop their hair from getting dry and dull. Do not comb your greasy and sticky hair too often as intensive brushing can spread the grease all over the head.
The most common problem faced during monsoon is frizzy hair. To avoid this you need regular oil treatment for at least once every week. Before applying the oil, heat it for the better absorption. Then with the tip of your finger apply the oil gently on the scalp in roundabout motion. Vigorous and irregular massage can cause split ends and may also lead to hair fall. You can use olive oil or coconut oil for achieving good result.
If your hair is basically oily in nature then mix a little amount of camphor in coconut oil and massage it. But if your scalp is basically dry then mix almond oil and coconut oil for hair treatment. Olive oil is suitable for all types of skin. But make sure that you wash your hair properly after every oil treatment.
Residue oil can attract dust and grime, which along with sweat can cause dandruff and scalp infection. Try to prevent such situation from arising. But if such situation arises, mix clove oil or lemon juice in few drops of water and gently massage the mixture on your scalp.
For further protection you can apply hair pack once a week. Apply a pack of yogurt and egg to make the hair strong. Henna and Indian gooseberry (amla) powder are also good for hair. Make a soft paste of basil leaves, amla and henna powder. Apply it on hair. Keep it for at least 1 hour and wash it off with cold water.This pack also helps to add volume to hair.
