Monsoon Hair Care Routine: How to Protect Your Hair from Humidity, Frizz & Fall
Frizz, hair fall, greasy scalp, and that permanent bad hair day vibe, welcome to monsoon season! While the rain brings fresh air, it also wreaks havoc on your hair. If you’ve been wondering why your hair turns into a puffball or sheds like autumn leaves, it’s not just you; it’s the weather. But with the right monsoon hair care routine, you can fight humidity, reduce frizz, and control hair fall. Let’s dive into how to keep your locks looking lovely even when it pours.
Monsoon, The Humidifier You Don’t Need
1: Harsh Humidity: The Sneaky Saboteur
Humidity during the monsoon skyrockets, making your hair absorb excess moisture from the air. This disrupts the hair’s natural hydrogen bonds, causing the cuticle to swell and lift, cueing the frizz! Your scalp, too, can’t decide whether to stay dry or go oily, making your strands confused and chaotic.
2: Pouring Frizz & Hair Fall: The Not-So-Lovely Side Effect
Your hair is at its weakest when wet, and thanks to sudden rain spells and unpredictable dampness, monsoon can cause excessive breakage. Frizz is often followed by tangling, which leads to even more hair fall. To make matters worse, fungal infections and dandruff love warm, damp environments.
The Right Routine for Your Rescue
Let’s put the chaos to rest with a simple yet effective monsoon hair care routine:
1. Wash Smart: Cleanse your hair 2-3 times a week with a gentle shampoo. pH-balancing shampoo is perfect for this season; it cleans without drying and helps balance the scalp’s oil production.
2. Condition Religiously: Never skip the conditioner. Use one that’s silicone-free and lightweight to detangle and fight frizz. Try CAMIA’s Olive & Rosemary Conditioner, which also adds a soothing aroma to your routine.
3. Oil Wisely: Oiling is still important, but don’t go overboard. Use light oils like CAMIA Argan Oil or the Youthful Radiance Premix (Argan + Frankincense) once a week. Warm it slightly, massage your scalp, and leave it for 30–60 mins before washing.
4. Protect Before Styling: Always apply a serum or leave-in conditioner before using a dryer or stepping out. It acts as a humidity shield. Mix a few drops of CAMIA Jojoba Oil with aloe vera gel for a quick DIY anti-frizz serum.
5. Weekly Deep Care: Use a DIY hair mask made with CAMIA Coconut Oil + Yogurt + Honey for hydration and strength. You can also add a few drops of Tea Tree Oil to treat dandruff or itchiness.
6. Microfiber, Please: Ditch your regular towel and use a microfiber cloth or an old t-shirt to gently dry your hair. This prevents frizz and reduces breakage.
Conclusion
Don’t let the monsoon wash away your hair game. With the right products and a consistent routine, you can stay ahead of the frizz and hair fall curve. Remember, your hair doesn't need to fight the weather; it just needs to adapt to it. Trust the process, nourish your roots, and let your hair bloom like the monsoon flora. With CAMIA’s clean, plant-powered products, your strands will thank you every season.
