The repetitive soaking during the monsoon combined with the humidity may affect the quality of your hair vastly. In order to avoid this situation, you must follow the below-mentioned tips.
1. The kind of comb- During the monsoon since the weather is very windy and there is a lot of moisture and humidity in the air your hair is more likely to get tangled. Thus it is very important to use a comb which is apt for getting rid of tangles and knots. A wide toothed comb or a paddle brush is perfect for this purpose.

2. Oil your hair- Though oiling is great for your hair throughout the year but it becomes even more important to oil your hair in this humid weather. Make it a routine to massage your hair at least once a week with warm coconut or olive oil. But keep in mind that your hair is already weak during this time and therefore you must be as gentle with your hair as possible. Massaging your hair too vigorously will make them break off easily. Also do not apply too much oil on your hair because when you do so you use a lot of shampoos to get rid of it making your hair dry and brittle. Just use a small amount of oil and massage it on your scalp lightly.
