Increased humidity and moisture during monsoons can exacerbate scalp oiliness, leading to greasiness, itchiness, and dandruff. Here are ways to control that.
Use a gentle shampoo suitable for oily hair, and wash your hair at least twice a week.
Exfoliate your scalp once a week to remove dead skin cells and reduce oil buildup.
Mix equal parts of water and apple cider vinegar as a final rinse after shampooing to balance your scalp's pH.
Apply a clay-based mask to absorb excess oil and purify your scalp. It also smoothens the hair cuticle.
Tying your hair back can help reduce exposure to rain and humidity, and prevent hair from touching your face.
Use lightweight, oil-free styling products to avoid weighing your hair down and exacerbating oiliness.
Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and keep your scalp healthy from the inside out.
