Do you notice more hair fall during the monsoons? The rainy season increases Humidity, making the scalp oily, weak, and prone to infections. Additionally, pollutants in rainwater weaken hair roots, leading to excessive shedding.

According to the World Trichology Society, hair fall increases 30% during monsoon due to clogged hair follicles and scalp imbalances. The best part? You can successfully control hair fall with easy home remedies, lifestyle adjustments, and homeopathy. Let’s discover the most effective natural ways to prevent hair fall during the monsoon.

Understanding Hair Fall in Monsoon

During monsoons, humidity affects the scalp’s oil balance, leading to:

Weakened hair roots : More shedding.
Oily scalp : Dandruff and fungal infections.
Brittle hair strands : Increased breakage.
Slow hair growth : Due to lack of proper nourishment.

Taking care of your scalp and hair during the rainy season is key to preventing seasonal hair fall.

Causes of Hair Fall During Monsoon

High Humidity : Excess moisture weakens the scalp.
Polluted Rainwater : Causes buildup, dandruff, and scalp irritation.
Sweat & Oil Accumulation : Clogs hair follicles, leading to weaker roots.
Frequent Hair Washing with Harsh Shampoos : Strips natural oils, making hair fragile.
Tying Wet Hair : This leads to fungal infections and breakage.

Dr Batra’s^® pro tip:

Monsoon hair fall is manageable with the right care! Keep your scalp clean, avoid tying wet hair, and nourish your roots with a balanced diet. Opt for homeopathy to strengthen hair follicles and prevent seasonal shedding naturally.
