While the pitter-patter of raindrops and cloudy skies lift our spirits and make our hearts sing (cue to Gene Kelly dancing to Singing In The Rain), the humidity can wreak havoc on our hair. The result: dullness, frizziness and hair fall. If you’re suffering from any of these problems, here is a list of 10 ways you can protect your hair.

5slider-oil-your-hair.jpg4. Remember how our grandmas always told us to oil our hair? Well, they had the right idea! Hydrating oils like almond and coconut are perfect to prevent dehydration-induced frizz, breakage, and split ends. Using a Neem-based oil cools the scalp and clears out accumulated sweat that can cause dandruff and itching. Use a hot towel afterwards for maximum benefit. Adopting this ritual once a week is enough to make a noticeable difference.

Humid conditions encourage the growth of bacteria and fungi on the scalp, triggering and aggravating concerns such as itchiness, flakiness, excess oiliness, and hair-loss. Shampooing 2-3 times a week with a mild shampoo helps maintain a clean scalp and keeps micro-organisms at bay. Incase you get caught in the rain, try to wash-out and dry your hair, ASAP.

Use a colour-protecting masque to maintain lustre. Blend in an oil with your masque to enhance radiance. Finish your hair care regime by applying a serum or leave-in hair oil to keep your mane looking its healthy best.

Due to increased humidity levels, its advisable to use a wide-tooth comb which prevents breakage and helps in the distribution of natural scalp oils.
