The monsoon season in Kharghar brings much-needed respite from summer heat-but along with the rains comes a common yet troubling issue: increased hairfall. Many experience a jump from the usual 50-100 strands a day to as much as 250 due to humidity, scalp fungi, acidic raindrops, and tangled strands. Here’s how Dr. Priyanka’s Health and Glory Clinic addresses this seasonal hair challenge.
Understand the Root Causes
-
During monsoon:
High humidity weakens hair follicles and makes strands brittle.
Acidic rainwater damages the cuticle and encourages dandruff or fungal infections.
Wet, tangled hair breaks easily, especially when brushed prematurely.
-
Gentle Hygiene is Key
Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo 2–3 times a week to cleanse without stripping natural oils.
Apply a lightweight conditioner, focusing on mid-lengths and ends to maintain hydration without greasiness.
Avoid over-washing; balance is critical.
-
Dry with Care
After washing, pat hair dry with a microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt instead of rubbing, which minimizes breakage.
Avoid heat styling tools like blow-dryers, straighteners, or curlers. If needed, always use a heat protectant serum.
-
Scalp Nourishment & Oiling
Warm, light oils like almond or coconut, massaged into the scalp, nourish follicles and reduce fungal issues.
Oil 1–2 times weekly, ideally before washing. Mix in essential oils (rosemary, castor) for added benefits.
-
Detangle Minimally
Use a wide-tooth comb on damp hair to prevent breakage and reduce hairfall.
Never comb or tie hair while wet; allow partial air-drying first.
-
Protect from the Rain
Always cover hair with an umbrella or scarf. Rainwater carries pollutants and microbes that damage hair.
If hair gets wet, rinse gently with lukewarm water and mild cleanser to flush off contaminants .
-
Nutrition & Lifestyle
Consume a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins A & E, zinc, iron, and B-complex—for strong hair growth.
Hydrate well, manage stress, and get adequate sleep, each crucial for scalp and follicle health.
Light exercise improves circulation, supporting healthier hair.
