Dr Shilpa Vora, Director of Research and Development at Centre Marico Limited (Mumbai, India), says that consecutive rainy days increase humidity, making your hair more susceptible to damage. This change in weather conditions can lead to more frizz, dryness and breakage.
Regular hair oiling habits
Dr. Shilpa Vora advises that adjusting your hair oiling routine regularly is the most effective, economical and long-term solution to help restore damaged hair.
To ensure you get the most out of your hair oiling, you should apply the oil 1 to 2 times a week.
Start by applying the oil to your scalp, gently massaging it to stimulate circulation. Apply the oil from the roots to the ends of your hair, leaving it on for at least 30 minutes. This will help improve blood flow to the hair follicles.
Choose the right hair oil
While there are many options, you need to make sure you choose the right hair oil that suits your hair needs: non-sticky, frizz-controlling and softening, as frizz is one of the most common hair problems during the monsoon, says Dr. Shilpa Vora.
“Coconut oil can penetrate up to 10 layers deep into your hair, leaving it soft and frizz-free,” reveals Shilpa Vora.
Or you can use aloe vera as it has amazing properties that help improve the overall health of your hair. When combined, the deep nourishing properties of coconut and the conditioning benefits of aloe vera will help control frizz, leaving your hair soft and manageable.
This gives you the freedom to style and leave your hair the way you want. So, during long rainy days, maintain the habit of applying hair conditioner regularly to protect the health of your hair.
