Monsoon season brings a welcome respite from the summer heat, but it can wreak havoc on our hair.

Fret not, we’ve got experts to help you with a monsoon routine, practical tips, and DIY hair masks that will keep your locks healthy and beautiful throughout the monsoon.
The science behind monsoon hair woes
The monsoon`s high humidity levels are the primary culprit behind our hair woes, says Dipti Bhadeshiya, Regional Technical Manager, Floractive Professional. “This moisture overload disrupts the hair`s natural structure, causing the hair cuticle (the outermost layer) to rise. This raised cuticle leads to frizz, that uncontrollable puffiness that defies all styling efforts. Additionally, the constant dampness weakens the hair shaft, making it more prone to breakage and increased hair fall,” she explains.
