Your Hair, But Better! Bebeautiful-Approved Guide For A Frizz-Free Monsoon

Frizzy hair truly is a challenge during monsoon. But before we get to monsoon hair care tips to fix this problem, let's take a look at the seasonal frizz factors and why it worsens during the rains.

• Humidity and hair aren't besties. Whether you have straight, curly, or wavy hair, there's no escaping humidity effects on the hair. This is because the excess moisture in the air (aka the humidity) leads to your locks absorbing it all and swelling up, making them frizzy.

• The natural lack of moisture in your hair can also come back to bite you during the rainy season. Mostly seen among curly hair, if your locks don't have enough natural oils and moisture, the strands will fray, making them look frizzy.

Now's the time to start a seasonal hair care routine. The way you wash your hair is also one way how to take care of frizzy hair in monsoon:

• You should skip the hot water since it can dry out your hair.
• You should also reduce your hair washing frequency to ease the wear and tear of your hair. Do you see a pattern here? The key is to be gentle which also means air drying your hair or using a clean cotton tee to squeeze out the excess water from your locks.

You can also get the most out of your hair care by using frizz-controlproducts. The right anti-frizz shampoo and moisturising conditioner can make all the difference.

Want an example? The TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo is loaded with keratin and argan oil, both being anti-frizz in nature. So, while this shampoo cleanses your scalp, it also works double time in smoothing frizzy hair.

Here's how to use such products for an anti-frizz hair care routine:

DIY hair masks are the next best thing to calm down all that frizz. And the ingredients can all be found in your home! All you need to make a hair mask is to find moisturising food items like bananas, yoghurt, or avocados.

Top it off with some type of carrier oil like coconut oil or argan oil. You can even look for natural emollients such as honey and aloe vera for hair. Take one or couple of these ingredients, mix them well and apply on your strands. Leave the paste on your hair for 20 minutes or so and then shampoo it off.

If you don't have time for natural hair remedies, you can also turn to ready-made frizz-control masks. These are also super quick to use as they work as quickly as five minutes to smooth out your hair. One such mask that comes to mind is the Love Beauty & Planet Argan Oil & Lavender, Paraben Free Smooth & Serene Hair Mask.

It is free of harsh chemicals, uses natural ingredients like argan oil and lavender extracts, and has eco-friendly packaging. What more can we ask for!?

How to tame frizzy hair during monsoon when you are actually outside? Just turn to protective hairstyles like braids and buns. Here are some cute frizz-friendly hairstyles to try out this monsoon:

As for combing tips, be sure to be gentle and start from the bottom and then work your way up. In fact, your best bet is to detangle with your fingers if you ever come across a super complicated knot.

Did you know that your diet can also dictate whether you end up with frizzy and dry hair or hydrated and soft locks? If you drink enough water and eat hair-healthy foods, your hair will naturally stay moisturised and strong.

Well, experts share that nutrition for hair involves iron, biotin, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamins A, C and E. You can find this in flax seeds, walnuts, almonds, salmon, eggs, yoghurt, avocado, banana, carrots, spinach, kale, and tofu. As for your water intake, drink at least eight glasses of water daily.

Do you want one of the most necessary monsoon hair care tips? Well, it's time to call a spade a spade, bleaching hair also known as pre-lightening absolutely destroys our locks by stripping the natural oils and turning them super dry.

It has been a couple of months since I pre-lightened to level 9 (yes, I wanted the perfect lavender shade, what else is a girl got to do?). And let's just say that with me having oily and thin hair, this is the first monsoon in my life where my hair has turned frizzy. It just does not stay flat anymore.

But a serum is a boon in these trying times as it is the only thing that keeps my hair down and the bleached bits shiny. Not all of us have the luxury of oiling and shampooing our hair every other day. So, trust me when I say all you girlies with coloured hair should definitely invest in a lightweight (we don't want our scalp to get greasy, right?) but moisturising serum this monsoon.

And there you have it, all the monsoon hair care tips to tame your frizzy hair. Now, go ahead and flaunt the hair of your dreams all year round!
