Monsoon hair care tips 

Monsoon is the season when the greenery of the earth is painted in bright colours. Nature becomes colourful, beautiful and attractive. In fact, this is the time which is known as the season of love. This is not just about romantic love, even everyone around you feels immense love for nature as well as for their loved ones! However, this is also the time when nature becomes vulnerable and can harm us, especially our hair. 

How to take care of hair in rainy season?

• During the monsoon, heat and humidity make hair look dull and lifeless. Hair seems frizzy instead of shiny. Hair looks limp and greasy and no amount of styling can help or hide the frizz. It gets even worse when the weather is humid. With these tips you can deal with all the challenges summer brings to your hair.

• Dealing with wet hair during monsoon can be a tough job but you can make it easy by using a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair after drying. Wait for your hair to dry naturally so that you don’t induce hair fall.

This can cause dandruff and other hair problems. Do not forget to take your waterproof jackets or umbrellas every time you step out. This is the easiest way to prevent your hair from getting wet.
