Hair loss control: Once the rainy season arrives, the biggest problem many people face is rapid hair loss. Getting a clump of hair in your hand while showering, seeing hair falling out while combing or finding stray hairs on the pillow can heighten anyone’s anxiety. In such a situation, most people immediately resort to expensive shampoos, serums and hair treatments, but expensive products are not the answer every time. Often times, small daily habits have the biggest impact on hair health.
Especially in monsoon, increased humidity, sweat and dirt affect the scalp, making hair weak and starting to break more. If proper care is started at the right time, hair quality can improve. The good thing is that you do not need to spend thousands of rupees every month for this purpose. Incorporating some easy, almost free habits into your daily routine can help keep your hair strong, thick, and healthy.
Why does the problem of hair loss increase in monsoons?
The humidity in the air increases during the rainy season. As a result, sweat, dust and excess oils quickly begin to accumulate on the scalp. When the scalp does not stay clean for a long time, the hair roots begin to weaken. This is the reason why hair loss complaints appear more this season than before. Apart from this, frequent wetting and tying of wet hair and wrong hair care routine can also add to this problem.
Never neglect cleaning your scalp
A clean scalp marks the beginning of strong roots.
Hair only remains healthy when its roots are clean and healthy, and if dirt, sweat and excess oils accumulate on the scalp, the hair can become weak. Therefore, depending on your hair type, washing hair regularly with a mild shampoo is beneficial. People who go out every day or sweat a lot should pay special attention to cleaning their scalp.

Light oil massage can increase nutrition
Massage once or twice a week – Gently massaging the scalp with coconut oil or a light hair oil containing rosemary can help improve blood circulation. This provides nourishment to the hair roots and helps in strengthening the hair. However, one should avoid keeping the oil on the hair for several hours during monsoons. It is better to wash the hair after some time.
Don’t make this mistake with wet hair
After rain or washing their hair gets wet, many people rub their hair vigorously with a towel. This habit can become a major cause of hair loss. Wet hair is the most sensitive. So, dry them gently and tie them only after they are completely dry. If you are in a hurry, using microfiber towels or cotton cloth may be a better option.
Internal nutrition is no less important
External care alone does not make hair healthy. If the body does not receive the necessary nutrients, the strength of the hair will also be affected. Include things rich in protein, iron, biotin, zinc and vitamins in your daily diet. Pulses, eggs, green leafy vegetables, dry fruits and seasonal fruits are beneficial for hair health. Besides this, it is also important to drink enough water.

Limit heat styling and chemical treatments
Nowadays, the use of hair straighteners, curlers and hair dryers is common, but frequent use of heat can make hair dry, weak and lifeless. Likewise, frequent use of hair dyes, straighteners or other chemical treatments can also damage the natural strength of the hair. As much as possible, leave the hair in its natural shape.
Regular care and patience is the best solution
Good hair growth does not happen in a day or a week, if you keep your scalp clean daily, eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep and take care of your hair, you can start feeling the difference after a few weeks. If there is excessive hair loss, or it starts to itch, hurt, or bald spots appear on the scalp, it is important to consult a dermatologist instead of relying on home remedies.
