is hairfall common in monsoon - #38134
I am really worried about my hair lately. Since the monsoon started, I've been noticing a lot more hairfall than usual. Like, I’m talking about clumps coming out when I wash my hair, which has never happened before. I read somewhere that is hairfall common in monsoon? I mean, I always thought it was just seasonal allergies or something! Just the other day, I was out with friends, and I couldn't help but notice how much my hair was shedding, even with just a little breeze. My scalp feels kind of oily too, which just adds to my concerns. I tried using some Ayurvedic hair oils, but it seems like nothing is really working. Ugh, it's frustrating! Is it possible that this sudden hairfall is due to the monsoon? I've also been stressed with work lately, but some people say that's not it. I even got some blood tests done, and everything came back normal! So, can anyone tell me... is hairfall common in monsoon? Like, should I be doing something different, or is there a specific Ayurvedic remedy I should try? I'm really hoping to get my hair back to how it was before all this started! Thanks, y'all!

Hairfall during the monsoon season can indeed be quite common, and there’s a logical explanation for it from an Ayurvedic perspective. In Ayurveda, the monsoon season or ‘Varsha Ritu’ is associated with Kapha and Pitta dosha imbalances. The humidity increases Kapha, leading to an oily scalp, while the fluctuation in temperatures aggravates Pitta, which can contribute to hairfall and scalp issues like dandruff.
The scalp becoming more oily is due to the increase of Kapha, as you’ve noticed. Stress can exacerbate Pitta, which may not directly be causing the hairfall, but it does affect the overall balance of your body constitution, or ‘Prakriti.’ Ayurveda suggests that hair health is also closely linked to the health of your body’s Dhatus, particularly Asthi (bone tissue) and Shukra (reproductive tissue), which are nourised by a balanced diet and lifestyle.
Considering your situation, herbal hair oils might not be as effective without addressing the root dosha imbalance. Start by balancing your Pitta and Kapha. For Pitta, avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods. Include cooling foods like cucumber, leafy greens, and coconut water in your diet. For Kapha, avoid dairy products and opt for lighter meals. Consuming warm, home-cooked food which is easy to digest can help maintain Agni (digestive fire) and balance Kapha.
For topical care, try using a gentle Ayurvedic shampoo containing neem or tea tree oil which helps in managing excess oil production without stripping natural oils. You can also try a scalp massage with Brahmi oil, which calms the Pitta and helps in strengthening hair roots. Its important to wash hair with lukewarm water to avoid further Pitta aggravation.
Engage in stress-reduction techniques such as yoga and meditation to help calm your mind and balance Pitta. Ensuring good sleep and hydration will further support this balance.
Lastly, maintaining a regular hair washing routine and using a soft towel to dry hair gently can prevent breakage. Watch out for tightly tying hair to avoid traction, and consider ventilating the room well to reduce scalp sweating and bacterial build-up.
These approaches target the underlying imbalances causing hairfall. If issues persist, consulting with a certified Ayurvedic practitioner can provide more tailor-fitted advice.
