Though the monsoons may seem like a great time to let your hair down, beware - or your hair could turn into a damp disaster. Some common sense guidelines could ensure your hair retains its lustre during the rains.
Many of us love to get wet in the rain. Rains can be fun. But they can also spoil our fun and cause “flooded” disruptions in life.
Rains can also rob the hair, your beauty emblem, of its regular gloss - not to speak of undermining even the most ideal makeup into a damp disaster. Constant care is therefore required, just like during any other time of the year. Put simply, it makes sense to keep your hair glowing and lustrous during the monsoons - with gentle homeopathy.
Dandruff and hair fall are common maladies during the monsoons. You may think it is futile to set, style, and reinvent your hairstyle during the rains. But ignoring your hair is not a good idea. It certainly makes sense to avoid that flat, damp or frizzy look during the rainy season.
Hair conditioning and sporting a ponytail are good initiatives because hair tangles easily during the wet season. Use a scarf to protect your hair from the wind and adverse damp conditions. Oiling with olive oil and washing your hair at least thrice a week with lukewarm water is advisable. Use a mild, natural shampoo, rather than lathering shampoos - the latter can dry and roughen your hair.
Pamper yourself with a relaxing, therapeutic and rejuvenating hair massage. It can revitalise damp hair roots and “jazz-up” your hair.
If dandruff persists despite using an anti-dandruff shampoo or over-the-counter homeopathic self-treatment products, it’s best to consult a professional homeopathic doctor, trained in trichology (science of the hair and scalp), to deal with the problem - from the inside-out. After all, you wouldn’t want anything but the best for your hair, would you?
