As soon as monsoon arrives, hair problems begin — breakage, hair fall, dandruff, and the frizz that torments every morning. This happens because the increased humidity in the air weakens the protein in your hair. But the remedy is just as straightforward.
The Fenugreek Remedy — Working for Generations
Soak 2 tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water overnight. In the morning, grind into a paste. Mix in a little yoghurt. Apply well to the hair roots and wash with cold water after 30 minutes. Fenugreek contains compounds that strengthen hair follicles.
Onion Juice — Sounds Odd, But It Works
Extract juice from one onion, mix in a little coconut oil. Apply to hair roots, leave for 1 hour, then wash with a mild shampoo. Onion contains sulphur which promotes hair growth. Yes, there is a smell — but hair fall stops within 3-4 weeks.
Saroj Kumari (44, Patna)"Every year during monsoon my hair would fall excessively. Someone suggested onion juice. I laughed and dismissed it. Then one day I tried it. After 3 weeks I saw a difference. Now I do this every year."
3 More Things That Protect Hair During Monsoon
1. Do not comb wet hair — this causes the most damage. 2. Avoid tight hairstyles (tight bun, ponytail) — they weaken the roots. 3. Do a scalp massage once a week — it increases blood circulation and promotes growth.
Hair care during monsoon is not difficult — it just requires some regularity and the right approach. And what is special about these remedies is — they work.
