While Monsoon is the most awaited season of the year, it’s a trying time for your hair. When the rain hits, the dampness of the weather makes the scalp oily and the roots dry, which then requires constant care & nourishment to leave your hair thick and lustrous. This rainy season, while you sip some tea and devour those pakoras, start a hair care ritual that stays with you through the pitter-patter of the weather, for healthy, gleaming hair.
4 Ways to Treat Frizzy Hair in Monsoons
The monsoon season is not an easy time for your hair. With excessive humidity, they come frizzier and unmanageable. Here are a few Ayurveda Expert recommended tips that you can follow at home, to nourish your hair and protect them for frizziness.
Oil & Massage Your Hair
Traditional Indian head massages, which are typically done using herb-infused hair oils, have held us in good stead for thousands of years. In ancient times, women used to massage their daughter’s hair, to keep them healthy and luscious. In Ayurveda, head massages are known to enhance blood circulation, which help the nutrients from the oil absorb into the scalp and nourish it. It promotes hair growth while making it softer and smoother. The Forest Essentials Japapatti and Brahmi Head Massage Oil is the ideal Ayurvedic hair oil for hair growth. We recommend a relaxing head massage, once a week, for hair that feels lush and nurtured. For extra care, take a few drops of the Jappapati Hair Oil and run it by the ends, for a healthy sheen.
Mask The Frizz
 Masking your hair will ensure that it receives and retains the nutrients it requires. Not only does this hair treatment make your tresses more manageable in the humid monsoon, but the extra hydration makes your hair smoother. Try the Forest Essentials Intensive Hair Repair Japapatti & Brahmi Masque, a rich and creamy pre-shampoo hair mask, specially designed to protect, repair and nourish the scalp from deep within. The fresh Banana pulp and herb infusions of Methi, Brahmi and Nagarmotha nurture the hair. Use a generous amount of the hair mask and apply on dry hair along its length – a whole fresh egg can be whisked and added in for extra nourishment. Leave the mask on your strands for at least thirty minutes before you wash your hair, for best results.
Cleanse and Condition Your Scalp
 Humid weather attracts dust that settles in the hair, making it brittle and heavy. Washing your hair at least thrice a week is key, to keep the scalp healthy & fresh. We recommend the Forest Essentials Jappapati & Brahmi Cleanser which nourishes the scalp and prevents premature greying. The Jappapati & Brahmi Conditioner infuses the hair with moisture and makes for the ideal hair conditioner for frizzy hair. Take a small amount of this Ayurvedic shampoo and massage into wet hair. Repeat if required and follow with the conditioner to avoid dryness.
Rejuvenate Your Hair
After washing your hair, it is key to air dry naturally before combing or styling the hair. Brushing through wet hair can cause hair fall and make it feel thinner. Herbs like Bhringraj, Shikakai, Fenugreek seeds strengthen the hair follicles, making them strong. After towel drying, thoroughly spritz the Forest Essentials Bhringraj & Shikakai Hair Thickening Spray through the hair and follow with gentle combing, for a soft, silkening finish.
Here are a few most asked questions our Ayurveda Experts have answered for you:
What ingredients to check while buying a hair conditioner?
Always ensure that your hair conditioners are free from added chemicals and and sulphates that can damage your hair. Look for Amla infused conditioners as it helps to make your hair shiny and soft.
What shampoo ingredients cause hair frizz?
Added chemicals and sulphates can cause your hair to frizz with a negative electrical charge. Look out for chemicals including Diethanolamine, Triethanolamine. Try using natural hair cleansers that nourish the scalp whilst cleaning it. Avoid volumizing shampoos if your hair is already frizzy.
Should I use a conditioner daily?
Using a conditioner daily may make your hair too soft and prone to hair fall. Apply it only on the length of the hair after washing it with a sulphate free shampoo. We recommend washing your hair with a shampoo and conditioner every alternative day in the Monsoon.
Serum or conditioner? What works best to remove hair frizz?
You can apply both conditioner and a hair serum to keep your hair protected from frizz. Air dry your hair after washing it and spritz the Bhringraj Hair Vitalizer on your scalp. This will allow the hair to stay nourished and not become frizzy.
