With monsoons finally here, there are always both smiles and anxious faces waiting for and during the rainy season. While for many, rains herald the start of farming operations and cool temperatures, for many others they come with the feared prospect of dealing with humidity, stickiness, traffic hurdles and the hard-to-be tamed frizzy hair.
Hair strands comprise of an inner cortex and an outer protective layer, which is known as the cuticle, that further consists of a series of roof-like tiles. When these microscopic tiles lie flat against the cortex, the hair appears smooth. However, humidity, friction, too much styling, chemical damage, and lack of adequate moisture, can leave the cuticles unsettled and lead to frizzy hair. However, how you treat your hair before, during, and after the shower is what makes all the difference in managing the frizzy hair despite the most humid weather.
Frizzy hair is not an uncommon problem, and while it is not the most catastrophic issue, it certainly is a bothersome one, on an everyday basis. Experts suggest many ways in which one can handle and even prevent frizzy hair. The foremost necessity is to understand the reason behind the frizz in your hair, so you can take precautions accordingly. Frizz is usually a result of lack of moisture in the hair or excess of moisture/humidity in the air. Dry hair or damaged hair is another reason for the frizz. However, adhering to some of the following simple steps, and making them a part of your routine, can easily help prevent the frizz.
