Monsoon Hair Care Tips for Itchy Scalp
Keep Your Scalp Dry and Clean:
The original monsoon hair care rule? Never leave your scalp wet for an extended period. A wet scalp is an open invitation to bacteria and fungi, which can irritate. Clean your scalp with a sulfate-free mild shampoo every 2–3 days to keep it clean.
Avoid Heat Styling:
Blow dryers may be tempting as a solution to wet hair, but too much heat will dry out your hair and irritate your scalp even further. Instead, gently pat your hair with a towel and allow your hair to dry in a cool, shaded location.
Use the Right Comb:
Switch to a wooden wide-tooth comb to reduce breakage and scalp tension. Plastic combs are static, and static can exacerbate irritation.
Oil Your Scalp Mindfully:
Oiling is not negotiable, but in the monsoon, how and what you do is. Thick oils will choke your scalp. Apply light oils along with scalp-calming essential oils such as tea tree oil, lavender essential oil, and rosemary oil.

Renowned for its ability to stimulate hair growth and combat dandruff, rosemary oil is an all-rounder. Mix 4 drops of rosemary essential oil with 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed coconut oil. Gently heat before massaging into the scalp. Leave on overnight or for one hour and then shampoo normally.
