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.
