how to stop hair fall in monsoon - #38148
I am dealing with some major hair fall issues lately, and I really need some suggestions on how to stop hair fall in monsoon. I mean, I always thought monsoon would make my hair look great with all that moisture, but it feels like every time I step outside, my hair's turning into a frizzy mess. Like, I could fill a small pillow with the amount of hair that’s falling out!! 😩 Last week, I noticed it even more after a heavy downpour. I was using some regular shampoo and conditioning, but I can’t shake the feeling that maybe the humidity is just making things worse? Ugh. My scalp gets super itchy too, and I think that might also be contributing to the hair fall problem. Some folks told me to try hot oils or ayurvedic pastes, but I really don’t have a clue what could work. How to stop hair fall in monsoon naturally? Should I be looking at nutrition as well? I’ve read about certain herbs that could help, or maybe it’s the wrong season for certain treatments? I bought some amla oil but haven’t been super consistent with it, maybe I should? Anyway, any tips would be amazing! Thank you!

It’s common for hair fall to increase during the monsoon season due to humidity, which can disturb your scalp balance. Let’s dive into some Ayurvedic strategies you can apply naturally to address this issue. First, it sounds like your scalp condition might be due to an imbalance in the Pitta and Vata doshas, both which needs attention during monsoon.
Start with oiling your scalp. Regular massage with warm oils like coconut oil or sesame oil infused with herbs such as bhringraj, amla, and neeli can provide insulation against frizz and improve hair health. Focus on consistent application, maybe twice a week. Warm the oil slightly before massaging to help it penetrate better, then leave it for about 30 minutes before shampooing out. Your current shampoo might be contributing to dryness, so consider switching to a mild, herbal shampoo with ingredients like aloe vera, neem or amla.
Monitor your diet as well. Hair health is closely connected with nutrition. Ensure you’re taking in good sources of proteins, omega-3 fatty acids (found in flaxseeds or walnuts), iron, and vitamins A, B, C, and E. Consume warm cooked meals – opt for less raw and cold foods which can increase Vata during damp weather. Season-appropriate diets help maintain equilibrium.
Stay hydrated and avoid hot water on your hair as it strips away moisture. Rinse with cool or lukewarm water instead. An itchy scalp may benefit from a paste made of neem leaves and turmeric which can reduce inflammation and help cleanse.
If itchy scalp remains, apply freshly prepared aloe vera gel; its soothing properties can offer relief and counteract dryness. You mentioned amla oil; maintaining consistency can indeed enhance results. Drinking amla juice daily can boost internal health.
Addressing both external care and internal nourishment is key. Be patient—hair health often requires a steady routine. If symptoms persist, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice and check if any underlying health issues exist. Practical and mindful methods pave the way for great outcomes.
