We all love the monsoons. It is a respite after the dry and searing summers. But often, monsoons can play havoc with our hair. Hair tends to become limp,lanky and lifeless, it looks dull and if there is excessive hair loss or dandruff or itchy scalp, then not only do we have to deal with lifeless looking hair but also worry about longer term hair damage.
Thus, it is important to follow a good hair care routine in the rainy season. A good ayurvedic oil for head massage or champi, a gentle sulphate free shampoo, and a good diet , along with safe dietary supplements is a sensible approach to adopt. Furthermore, excessive heat styling and chemical treatments should be avoided in this season.
So the question is - how should women style their hair in this season, so that they look their best, yet do not damage their hair? Below are some recommended hair styles and hair cuts which will help you flaunt your locks, are perfect for the humid season and safe for your hair too.
-
Braids: Braided hairstyles are perfect for monsoons as they keep your hair neat and prevent frizz. You can try different types of braids like fishtail, French braid, or a classic three-strand braid.
-
Messy Bun: Embrace the natural texture of your hair and opt for a messy bun. This style works well with the increased humidity during the monsoon season, and it can look chic and effortless. However do note that a messy bun has to be made with care, so that it does not look untidy or unkempt.
-
A simple Ponytail with a Twist: A simple ponytail with a bright scrunchie or a twist works well for this season. It helps keep your hair secure, reduce chance of getting wet and keeping your hair off your face and neck.
-
Top Knot or low bun: A top knot is a high bun that sits on the top of your head. It's a trendy and practical hairstyle for monsoons. On the other hand, a low bun (also called a chignon) sits at the base of the neck and looks extremely elegant specially with formal wear.
-
Pixie or Short Crop: If you have short hair, monsoons are an excellent time to embrace your natural hair texture. Short hair is generally easier to manage during humid weather.

Invest in some pretty hair accessories like hairpins, hairbands, or decorative clips to keep your hair in place while adding color and flair to your look
Remember to use hair products that combat frizz and humidity, and consider using gentle, ayurveda based hair care products. Stay hydrated, eat a well balanced diet, exercise and sleep well.
