Monsoon is the time of the year when your hair needs a little more love and care. Especially if you have a hair system or hair patch fitted, you should be cautious. With all the rain and humidity, keeping your hair patch in place and looking fresh requires some extra care.
But don’t worry, a few simple steps can help.
In this blog, we’ll look at some easy ways to take care of your hair patch during the monsoon season.
Keep It Clean, But Go Gentle
Let’s start with the basics. You don’t need to wash your patch every day, but it’s important to keep it clean. During the monsoon, sweat and dust tend to settle more easily. So, try washing your hair patch about two to three times a week. Use a mild shampoo that doesn’t have harsh chemicals or sulfates to help keep your hair patch’s natural shine.
Monsoon frizz can also make your patch look dry. So, gently massage your scalp and don’t forget to use a conditioner. After shampooing, apply a lightweight conditioner only to the ends, not near the base or roots.
If you’re stepping out, a small amount of leave-in conditioner can also help manage frizz.
Stay Dry, Stay Safe
If it rains and you feel your hair patch has gotten wet, don’t leave it as it is. Be conscious of it. Whether it’s after a wash or from getting caught in the rain, make sure it’s completely dry before you sleep or step out.
A damp patch can not only smell bad but also weaken the adhesive. Pat it dry with a towel. It’s not recommended to use a hairdryer unless it’s absolutely urgent. Be careful when using hairdryers, straighteners, or curlers, as they can damage the patch over time. But if you need to use them, set them to the lowest setting and keep a safe distance.
You can use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, gently moving upward. This helps avoid unnecessary pulling or tangling. And last but not least, if you’re stepping out and there’s even a slight chance of rain, cover your head. A breathable cotton scarf works well. It protects the patch and doesn’t trap moisture.
Don’t Ignore Monsoon Sweat
Monsoon sweat can weaken the grip of your hair patch, so don’t ignore it. Wipe around the edges once you’re back home and let your scalp breathe for a while. If the patch feels loose or starts lifting, reattach it with proper glue, but don’t overdo it. It’s always a good idea to check in with a hair patch expert.
In Conclusion
Taking care of your hair patch during the monsoon isn’t tough. It just requires a little attention. Stick to a routine, keep it clean and dry, and avoid harsh products. Want more tips? Just WhatsApp us your queries at https://wa.me/917025777916, and we’ll be happy to help!
