Monsoon is the season of rain-soaked streets, refreshing snacks and the smell of wet mud – however, it can also pose a challenge for the overall health of your hair. With humidity at its peak and increased exposure to rainwater, your hair tends to become dry, frizzy and prone to breakage. In such a scenario, the one solution that can save your hair from long-term damage is hair oiling.
Dr. Shilpa Vora, Chief R&D Officer at Marico Limited, talks about the benefits of maintaining a disciplined hair oiling routine during the monsoon season:
⦁ Strengthening and repairing hair: Regular oiling provides essential nutrients to protect and repair the hair shaft, which often suffers from excessive humidity, and dullness during the monsoons. The oil penetrates the hair and improves overall strength. This helps in less hair breakage, especially if your hair is wet. It also helps manage surface damage on hair. For optimal results, consider using Parachute Advansed Gold Coconut Hair Oil, a coconut-based hair oil that can penetrate up to 10 layers deep, providing essential nourishment to make your hair truly beautiful.
⦁ Soft and smooth hair: Regular oiling helps smoothen hair, making it easier to manage and style. Its natural lubricating properties aid in gentle detangling – especially useful in the high humidity of the monsoons – reducing breakage during combing. For tangle-free hair, apply coconut-based hair oil from roots to ends, leave it on for just 30 minutes, then wash off. Repeat frequently for optimal results.
⦁ Boosts blood circulation: A good hair oil massage helps improve blood flow to the hair follicles promoting healthier hair growth. It also helps keep scalp healthy and moisturised.
In the rush of daily life, taking out hours for elaborate hair rituals may seem impossible. This is when a 30-minute monsoon fix seems perfect to give your hair the care it deserves. So, this monsoon, don’t let the weather dampen your hair goals. Oil now—and shine through every rainy day.
