Monsoon Hair Care Routine for Indian Weather
The monsoon season brings a specific combination of humidity, frizz and increased scalp sweat that calls for small adjustments to a regular hair care routine.
Why Monsoon Is Hard on Hair and Scalp
High humidity swells the hair cuticle, leading to frizz, while frequent rain exposure and sweat can leave the scalp feeling greasy and prone to fungal issues like dandruff if it isn't cleansed regularly.
Wash More Often, But Gently
Increased humidity and sweat often call for slightly more frequent washing than in drier months, but with a gentle, non-stripping shampoo to avoid over-drying the scalp in the process.
Dry Hair Thoroughly After Rain
Leaving hair damp for extended periods in humid weather creates a favourable environment for scalp fungus and unpleasant odour. Towel-dry thoroughly and avoid tying up soaking-wet hair.
Keep Oiling, With a Lighter Hand
Pre-wash oiling is still valuable in monsoon, but a lightweight oil that absorbs well — rather than sitting heavily on an already-humid scalp — works best. AYHURA's Advance Hair Growth Oil uses fast-absorbing Jojoba Oil for exactly this reason.
