For Mumbaikars, monsoons are a welcome respite from the scorching summer heat. While it’s kind to the planet, it has proven to be harsh on the skin and hair if not taken care of properly.

Have you ever noticed how your hair becomes unruly and dry while your scalp turns oily during the rainy season? Well, those are the gifts of the monsoon and mind you, not the kind that you can pack and parcel to the next person.

With clouds lurking, and a cool nip in the air - rains are not far from us, bringing with them the inevitable monsoon woes. But fret not as we spoke to three hair experts who reveal nature-backed, handy hacks to carry those locks in style.

Desi nuskhe for hair care
For the Andheri-based expert Uzma Edroos from Shimmers Cosmetics Pvt. Ltd, coconut oil serves as an essential remedy for hair care during monsoon. Edroos indulges us over her ‘dadi’s desi nuskhe’ for achieving lustrous and nourished hair:

1. Switch to avocado and honey masks. These masks are another excellent option for deep hydration. They infuse the hair with essential nutrients and moisture needed to keep dryness at bay.
2. Apply coconut oil to your hair and leave it on for 30 minutes. This exercise deeply nourishes and hydrates the hair, making it softer and shinier for the days to come.
3. Tame those frizzy curls with apple cider vinegar. Mix one part of apple cider vinegar to two parts of water. Rinse your hair with this solution after shampooing to tame frizz and restore the natural pH balance of your hair.
4. Next, calm your scalp with aloe vera gel: Use aloe vera gel as a leave-in conditioner. It adds moisture to your hair while soothing and calming your scalp, preventing itchiness and irritation.
5. Opt for gentle hair care by reducing the frequency of hair washes with shampoo. Wash your hair 2-3 times a week with a sulphate-free shampoo. This prevents the natural oils from being stripped away, keeping your hair healthy and hydrated.
