Another factor that causes an increase in hair frizz is the lack of hydration, as when the hair is dry, it tends to absorb more moisture from the environment. Therefore, if hair strand is full of good nutrients and well hydrated, the water content present in it will be in balance and, consequently, they become less sensitive to the variation of humidity in the environment.
It is essential that hair strand have internal content such as water, mineral salts, etc in balance, as it would help in keeping the hair more disciplined amid climate variations. Clelia Cecilia Angelon – CEO & Founder of Surya Brasil recommends that you invest in treatments that replenish the hair’s water and nutrients.
Here are some tips to minimize frizz during the Monsoon period and keep your hair fabulous:
Daily use: If you have coloured your hair, use a shampoo for coloured hair as these shampoos contain mild cleansing agents and balanced pH, which cleans the strands in a gentle manner. Also, opt for a color fixation conditioner with conditioning agents and nutrients further condition the hair and protect it.
Dry hair: Dry the hair naturally or with the help of soft fabrics. If the hair faces too much friction while drying, it can damage the hair cuticles, which would reduce the insulating action.
Hydration: Use a hair mask to hydrate your hair at least once or twice every week. Its formulation will replenish the necessary nutrients. After washing the hair with shampoo, apply the mask and let it do its job before you rinse and finish with the conditioner. This will restore the threads and help maintain the coloured hair.
Go all-natural: Use all-natural henna cream instead of the dyes laden with chemicals and harmful toxins. For instance, use henna cream developed with conditioning agents. While coloring the gray hair, it also ensures a complete treatment from root to ends, replenishing the nutrients and moisturizing the strands. Whether monsoon or not, it can be done at any time of the year and at the desired frequency. There is no need for a definite time interval between one application or another, which is essential especially during the monsoon.
The chemical dyes dry out and damage the hair, causing an excessive increase in frizz and cannot be used frequently where the natural solutions ensure that there is no added hassle or aftereffect of the hair colour used.
