I am a 17-year-old-teenager and have long hair. During the monsoons, it gets difficult to manage my hair as my scalp gets itchy and I can feel my hair thinning. Is washing hair frequently a good way to keep my hair healthy? Could you please suggest some tips to manage my tresses?
Monsoons and non-manageable hair have a long, never-ending relationship. The joy of going out to feel those tiny drops clashes with having healthy hair. Wash hair as often as required but choose your shampoo wisely. Renee Malik, a haircare expert suggests opting for a mild cleansing shampoo for regular use which should be paired with a suitable conditioner depending on your hair type.
Here are a few haircare tips that would come handy during monsoons:
1. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to a mug of water and use as a last rinse after shampoo. It helps relieve itchiness.
2. Experts say that oiling your hair is usually good nourishment but one needs to take care about how long you keep it on. Since the scalp is already oily during the monsoons, oiling your hair just two hours before washing is sufficient.
3. Heat olive oil or sesame seed oil and apply on the scalp with cotton ball and massage gently.
We hope these tips definitely work for your hair and let's you enjoy the season.
