With rising humidity before the monsoon, frizzy hair becomes a common problem. Moisture in the air disrupts the hair's natural texture, causing dryness, breakage, and frizz.
A simple pre-monsoon routine can help manage the chaos. Here’s how to keep your locks smooth and frizz-free:
Switch to a Sulfate-Free Shampoo: Sulfates strip your scalp of natural oils. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to maintain moisture and reduce frizz.
Deep Condition Weekly: Humidity makes hair porous and dry. Use a deep conditioning mask once a week to hydrate and strengthen strands.
Apply Leave-In Conditioner or Serum: A leave-in conditioner or anti-frizz serum adds a protective barrier against moisture, keeping hair manageable.
Avoid Heat Styling: Blow-drying or ironing can worsen frizz. Let your hair air-dry and use heat only when necessary with a heat protectant.
Oil Your Hair Twice a Week: Coconut or argan oil helps retain moisture and prevents hair from puffing up in humid weather.
Use a Microfiber Towel: Switch to a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt to dry your hair—this reduces friction and frizz.
Trim Split Ends Regularly: Humidity worsens split ends. Trim your hair every 6-8 weeks to maintain healthy tips.
