7 DIY Ways To Treat Hair Fall During Monsoon

Hair fall is a common concern during the monsoon season, affecting both men and women. The increased humidity in the air weakens hair roots and leads to excess oil and sweat accumulation on the scalp. This creates an ideal environment for fungal infections, dandruff, and clogged follicles — all of which contribute to increased hair shedding.
Moreover, rainwater, often acidic or polluted, can strip hair of its natural oils, making it dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Improper drying of wet hair, frequent tying of damp strands, and lack of scalp hygiene further worsen the issue.
While seasonal hair fall is normal to an extent, ignoring it can lead to long-term thinning and damage. Thankfully, natural home remedies can help nourish the scalp, strengthen hair roots, and minimize hair fall effectively during this season.

# Onion Juice
