One of the most common misconceptions about dandruff is that it mainly occurs during winter. And while that’s true, it’s important to know that dandruff also gets worse during the rainy season. In fact, most hair problems occur during the rainy season.
The monsoon brings with it a lot of moisture and humidity, which further dries out the air. The dry air and monsoon weather lead to the monsoon. The moisture of the wet scalp becomes the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. However, if you are also tired of battling with dandruff during this monsoon season, then you should try some remedies.
Onion mask
An onion mask is packed with nutrients with excellent antifungal and antimicrobial properties and promotes blood flow and circulation to your scalp. All you need to do is crush a few pieces of onion, apply the fine paste to your scalp and wash it off. You can also cut the onion into thin slices and rub the slices on your scalp.
Neem and turmeric paste
Neem and turmeric are both known for their antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. They are also rich in vitamin C and are very effective in treating dandruff, keeping your scalp healthy.
Reduce the use of styling products
The heat that these styling products release on the scalp promotes the growth of Malassezia. For this reason, it is recommended to limit the use of styling products.
Fenugreek Hair Mask
One of the most effective and natural Anti-dandruff remedies and hair fall problems is a fenugreek hair mask or methi. Since it is rich in nicotinic acid, it helps to prevent hair fall and dandruff during monsoon. You just need two tablespoons of fenugreek seeds soaked overnight. Make a paste and apply it on your scalp. Leave it for 30 minutes and wash it off with a mild shampoo.
Wash your hair at least twice a week. To maintain the scalp’s natural oil, clean it with a cleanser that does not contain chemical products and remove oily and greasy deposits. Be sure to use a natural shampoo that is free of chemicals and other harmful ingredients.
