July 12, 2021

It is very common to experience hair problems during the monsoons. Humidity during the season can make your scalp oily, frizzy, and brittle. Another major hair issue is that the pollutants in rainwater weaken the hair roots and cause hair fall. Neglecting this seasonal change can lead to severe problems for your hair. Hence, monsoon hair loss needs to be dealt with promptly.

According to a research study published by the World Trichology Society, people experience increased hair fall by almost 30% during the monsoons. It is normal to experience hair fall of about 50-60 hair strands daily but during the monsoons, this number can increase to up to 250 or more. The increased humidity clogs the hair follicles and makes our hair greasy, this eventually leads to hair fall and dandruff.

However, you can control monsoon hair loss with simple changes in your hair care routine.

Home remedies to prevent hair fall in monsoon

 

Haircare remedies for monsoon season

  • Cover up your head in the rain:

    This is the first golden rule of hair care in the monsoons. Rainwater is not pure, there can be many pollutants present in it. This can weaken the hair roots which leads to hair fall. If you want to take a walk in the rain, carry an umbrella or cover your hair with a scarf or a cap.

     

  • Harness the power of aloe vera:

    Aloe vera gel is easy to use, cooling to the scalp, and has excellent antimicrobial properties. You can apply the gel to your scalp two hours before washing the hair or mix some aloe vera gel with your hair oil or shampoo to get maximum benefits out of it.

     

  • Hair pack:

    To prevent hair fall and stimulate natural hair growth, mix olive oil with honey and cinnamon powder, apply the mixture on the scalp and leave for forty minutes. Rinse with warm water, shampoo and condition normally.

     

  • Reschedule the salon appointment:

    Postpone the hair color treatments, perming, or any other chemical treatment for after the monsoons. Professional treatments make the hair greasy and oily and can make the scalp prone to breakage and hair loss. You should even avoid using gels and hair sprays during the monsoons.

     

  • Wash your hair:

    You can’t completely avoid getting your hair wet in the rains, but you can easily undo the damage done by washing your hair immediately after getting home and drying it the natural way. Washing will remove the trace of bacteria and pollutants from the hair and prevent hair loss.

     

  • Keep your hair dry:

    Use a microfiber cloth to gently press and absorb water from the hair and dry it quickly. Don’t use a hairdryer, it will damage the already weak hair; instead, let the hair dry naturally.

     

  • Shampoo less and condition more:

    Switch to a gentle moisturizing and cleansing shampoo during the monsoons. This will help to reduce the breakage and prevent the scalp from becoming dry. Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner according to your hair type will help prevent problems like frizzy hair and dandruff. A conditioner will give an added boost of moisture and nourishment to the hair strands, prevent breakage tangled locks, and make your hair silky and smooth

     

  • Warm oil massage:

    This will not only nourish your scalp but also increase blood circulation and keep the hair healthy and shiny. Let the oil sit in the hair for 2-3 hours and then wash with a mild shampoo.

     

  • Eat and drink for your hair:

    Needless to say, a healthy diet will do wonders for your hair and skin. Cut down on caffeine as it dehydrates the scalp. Instead, drink 8-12 glasses of water every day. Include sprouts in your everyday diet. Sprouts are rich in potassium, vitamin E, and iron; they can help to bring the luster back to the hair in no time at all.

Hair loss in the monsoons is quite normal and temporary; however, if you notice excessive hair loss then visit a trichologist or dermatologist to determine the cause and treatment for your hair loss.

Homeopathy treatment for hair fall problem

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that can do wonders for hair problems with its gentle and natural approach. A homeopathic trichologist aims to treat the root cause of hair loss and strengthen the hair follicles. The treatment helps to control hair fall and provides nourishment for hair regrowth. Conventional treatments can cause serious side effects and they don’t reduce the chances of reoccurrence of hair loss. Homeopathy not only reduces the chances of reappearance but is also a side-effect-free hair loss solution.

Homeopathic treatment for hair fall is provided based on individualization, which is tailoring the remedy according to the individual's needs. For example, two patients suffering from the same type of hair loss may receive different medications depending on their case details (mental makeup, lifestyle and hereditary factors, etc).

A homeopathic hair fall treatment plan will include more than one treatment i.e. the treatment will not only help treat hair fall but also nourish your hair and boost your immune system.

According to a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, natural ingredients found in homeopathic remedies like Sabal Serrulata and Thuja Occidentalis are effective in treating hair loss problems.
