5 Tips To Treat Oily Scalp In Monsoon

The increased humidity and moisture during the monsoon season leads to excess sebum production on the scalp and leaves the hair ends parched

Here are some tips that can help you maintain your tresses and prevent an oily scalp during the monsoon season

Gentle cleansing routine

Use a gentle shampoo formulated for oily scalps. Avoid using harsh products as they can strip off natural oils

Wash your scalp thrice a week

During the monsoon season, the scalp accumulates dirt, sweat, and excess oil more rapidly. So, wash your scalp thrice a week to prevent an oily scalp

Condition your hair

Conditioning your hair after every wash can help maintain moisture in hair. Use a lightweight and hydrating conditioner to prevent dry hair

Add Vitamin B rich foods to your diet

Including vitamin B rich foods to your diet like beans, leafy vegetables, pulses and seaweed can help control sebum production

Avoid hair styling products

Avoid the use of heavy styling products like gels, waxes and serums during the monsoon as they can weigh down your hair and make them more prone to oiliness
