Easy Hair Care Tips

We all love the good things that monsoon brings with itself, be it the cloudy weather, the cool breeze gently caressing you, the rain drops or the hot tea. 

But, don’t just get lost in this ‘dreamy’ picture, and also devote your attention towards the downside of this humid weather too. For, monsoon weather can wreak havoc on your hair and leave you with a feeling of cursing this blissful weather. 

Here are a few hair care tips to leave you with those beautiful locks that you would love to run your fingers down this monsoon season.

Wash your scalp properly: It is very important to wash your scalp properly and frequently as due to high humidity levels, we sweat more during monsoon season. This will not just help in cleaning the scalp and keeping it dust and debris free, but will also avoid further damage to the hair.

A hair conditioner is a must: To fight against monsoon frizziness, the best method is to apply a good conditioner each time you wash your hair. But make sure not to apply conditioner on your scalp but only on the strands of hair. This provides a shine to your hair and prevents them from breakage. Another important point is to choose a conditioner as per your hair type. Like, if you have dry hair, choose a conditioner that will restock your hair with essential substitutes needed by them.

Avoid using hairdryer and hair styling: Ideally, it is always good to let your hair dry naturally. If due to some reason, you are using a hairdryer, don’t over dry as this will hamper your hair badly and leave them frizzy and damaged. Another advice that will help you maintain healthy hair is avoid hair procedures like perming or straightening as they may harm your hair adversely and make matters worse.

Use a wide-toothed comb: Dump all your round and flat hair brushes and instead use a wide-toothed comb in the monsoon season to allow less breakage and damage to hair. Also, try not to tie your hair too tightly as this may lead to hair breakage, dandruff and fungal infections. Instead go for lose hair styles or just let your hair open.

Cover you crown: Love your hair? Then cover your crown ladies to protect your hair by avoiding stepping out when it’s raining-even if you are armed with an umbrella. Make sure to wash your hair thoroughly with a mild cleanser and use a conditioner thereafter, in case your hair gets wet in the rain.

Hair cut: Keep your hair trimmed and short during the season and avoid any hair cut that requires a lot of styling.

Stay hydrated: Drink ample amount of water and other liquids like coconut water and fruit juices as this will help your hair stay healthy and strengthen them from within during the monsoon season.

So, try these amazing tips for healthy hair that will leave you with a beautiful feeling to sail through this monsoon season.

Think of L'Oreal Paris as the Ask Jeeves for your hair care dilemmas. Bring them a problem and without a doubt, one of the five Advanced Hair care lines has a solution. With eight patents and the test results from 5,000 women, L'Oreal Paris has created targeted hair care lines, with effective and transforming treatments, for the most common hair problems.

Here’s how they can help a variety of common (and thoroughly annoying) hair issues:

Do you have brittle, fragile hair?
Over the course of time, due to age and environmental factors, the hair cuticle can become worn, making the hair vulnerable to breaks and thinning. Triple Resist is like a workout for your hair, helping each strand to become stronger and more resilient, nourishing it from root to tip. It helps to resist hair fall brom breakage by 64%. The Triple Resist line, consisting of a shampoo, conditioner and the Ultimate Strength Solution is fortified with the highest levels of protein-boosting amino acids like arginine.

Do you want to protect your color?
Color can fade because of stress from washing, styling, handling, and chemical treatments. This stress diminishes your hair’s natural proteins, causing it to reflect less light so that it starts to look dull. Keeping your hair in good condition is the best way to sustain vibrant color since damaged hair can’t hold onto hair dye pigment. The Color Vibrancy line can keep your hair looking vibrant and fresh for up to eight weeks. It contains UVA and UVB filters and nourishes your hair to make it silky and soft. Advanced Hair care Color Vibrancy Dual Protect Spray is a dual-action leave-in spray to safeguard your hair and scalp from styling temperatures up to 450 degrees.

Is your hair thirsty? 
Internal (hormone levels, diet) and external changes (air conditioners, radiators) affect the moisture and quality of your hair. While iron and biotin supplements and foods with omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, flax seeds, and walnuts can help, the Power Moisture line uses hyaluronic acid to make hair more silky, manageable, and soft, adding up to ten times the hydration. The Moisture Rush Mask–a deep conditioning mask–reinvigorates dull, parched hair. It transforms dehydrated hair into lush, glossy strands.

Want effortless smooth hair? 
Humid days, tropical temperatures, and damaged hair with split and broken ends can all lead to frizz, a word that sounds as ugly as it looks. The Smooth Intense line uses oleo-keratin to polish hair, providing anti-humidity protection, and promising up to 72 hours of sleek hair. The Intense Frizz Taming Serum is a smoothing leave-in product that adds polish to the hair’s surface and creates an invisible barrier to block out frizz and lock in shine.
