Eggs-honey-curd pack: Mix two eggs, two tablespoon of curd, juice of half lemon and few drops of honey, and spread it evenly, from root to tip. Wash it off after half-an-hour to get a smooth and manageable texture.



Balace protein in diet: Since hair is made of protein, ensure that you maintain a balanced protein diet. A portion of good seasonal fruits, green leafy vegetables, cereals and coconut water in your diet must be included. Try and pull together your hair in a soft band rather than using metallic clips, as they tend to break your hair.



Avoid chemical treatment: Don’t go for chemical treatment on hair during monsoon, as the chemicals used react adversely to the rain water, leading to severe damages.

Mumbai-based dermatologist, Rashmi Shetty, points out benefits of vinegar: “Mix two tablespoons of vinegar in a cup of lukewarm water and rinse hair with it. It helps in giving hair the perfect shine and volume,” she says.
