Monsoon Hair Fall

In this video you'll learn how timing your washes, conditioning, and oiling during the monsoon can keep your hair strong, reduce breakage, and stop that pesky shedding.

Identify Your Issue

First, figure out which of the three monsoon hair problems you have: breakage from frizz, shedding with a white bulb, or a damp scalp that itches and flakes.

Typical daily loss

Most people naturally lose about fifty to a hundred hairs each day, so a sudden increase can be easy to miss, but it signals a shift in your hair cycle.

Quick Pull Test

To do a quick pull test, wait a day without washing, grab about fifty to sixty strands, pencil thick, between thumb and forefinger, slide gently, and count how many come away. Do it at the top, sides, and back.

Monsoon Routine

In monsoon, keep scalp clean and dry and handle wet hair gently. Wash every two to three days, or daily if you sweat a lot, massaging shampoo only on the scalp. Condition from ear level down, avoiding roots. After rinsing, press water out with a soft cotton T-shirt, no rubbing. Then dry the scalp with a cool-air fan or low-heat dryer, sectioning to reach the roots.

Rainy humidity level

Monsoon humidity often hits around ninety percent, which means the scalp stays moist for hours. This damp environment can encourage itch, flakes, and even a bit of dandruff if you don’t dry the scalp quickly.

Oil Timing

If you oil, warm one to two tablespoons of coconut or sesame oil, focus on the lengths and ends, and leave it on for a short time, no overnight, then wash before bed. This avoids feeding yeast on a damp scalp.

When to See Doctor

If you see round bald spots, painful or burning scalp, persistent flakes with bumps, or shedding beyond three months, see a doctor. They may check iron, thyroid, and blood count to rule out deeper issues.

The one habit to keep

The one habit that matters most is drying your scalp completely before tying or putting on a hat. Pat the roots with a soft towel or use a cool-air fan for a few minutes. A dry scalp cuts itch, flakes, and breakage.
