Hair Fall During Bangalore Monsoons? Here’s What Really Works

Monsoon is a beautiful season: but your scalp might disagree. If you’ve noticed more hair in the drain or on your pillow, you’re not imagining it. Hair fall tends to increase during Bangalore’s humid, rainy months.

But don’t worry: it’s treatable. Let’s break down why it happens, what you can do, and when to get professional help.

1. Why Does Hair Fall Increase in the Rainy Season?

  • Humidity overload: Bangalore’s post-rain humidity disrupts the scalp barrier, leading to excess oil, sweat, and fungal overgrowth.

  • Weakened hair roots: Constant dampness makes roots weaker and more prone to breakage.

  • Frizz and tangling: Hair absorbs moisture and becomes frizzy, increasing breakage during combing.

  • Water quality: Exposure to hard or rainwater can worsen scalp inflammation.

  • Diet disruptions & stress: Skipping meals, low protein, and monsoon fatigue also contribute.

2. Is It Hair Fall or Hair Shedding?

Monsoon hair fall is often telogen effluvium: a temporary shedding phase triggered by environmental stress. The good news? It’s resolvable with the right care.

3. Doctor-Recommended Tips for Hair Fall Control

✅ Scalp Hygiene

  • Wash 2–3x/week with mild sulfate-free shampoo

  • Use lukewarm or filtered water (not rain or borewell water)

  • Avoid leaving hair damp for long

✅ Targeted Hair Serums

  • Look for Redensyl, Procapil, or Anagain based formulations

  • Massage lightly into scalp daily

✅ Strengthen from Within

  • Biotin, Zinc, Iron & Vitamin D3 supplements (check with your doctor)

  • Protein-rich diet: eggs, lentils, paneer, nuts

✅ Hairstyling Tips

  • Avoid tight buns or ponytails

  • Use wide-tooth comb when hair is dry

  • Stay away from heat tools or harsh coloring during peak shedding

4. Clinic-Based Treatments That Help

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)/ Exosome: Boosts follicle health naturally

  • Hair Mesotherapy: Cocktail of vitamins & peptides injected into scalp

  • LED Therapy: Reduces inflammation & boosts blood flow

  • Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC): Advanced option for chronic hair thinning

5. Easy Monsoon Hair Routine (For Home Use)

  • Cleanse scalp every 2–3 days

  • Apply serum to control hair frizz

  • Cover hair during heavy rain or wind

  • Brush gently twice a day

Seasonal hair fall is temporary: but ignoring it can lead to long-term thinning. With the right care, your scalp can stay healthy no matter the season.

If you're unsure what type of hair fall you have, or nothing seems to be working, get a consult and a trichoscopy (scalp scan). The earlier you act, the easier it is to stop the shed.
