Monsoon Hair Care: Should You Oil Your Hair?
By Shruti Sanwariya
Should
You Oil in Monsoon?
Yes, but in moderation. Oiling helps nourish hair, but excessive oil can attract dirt and humidity during the monsoon.
Do's:
Choose Light Oils
Opt for light, non-sticky oils like coconut or almond oil. They provide nourishment without making hair too greasy or heavy.
Do's:
Apply Before Washing
Apply oil for at least an hour before washing. This prevents hair from getting too oily and reduces the risk of attracting dirt.
Don'ts:
Avoid Heavy Oiling
Avoid heavy oiling during the monsoon as it can lead to scalp infections and make hair look limp due to excess humidity.
Don'ts:
Skip Oiling Overnight
Skip leaving oil overnight during the monsoon. It can clog scalp pores and attract more moisture, leading to frizz and dandruff.
Do's:
Use a Gentle Shampoo
Always wash off the oil with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to prevent buildup and maintain scalp health.
