Seasonal Hair Care – Adapting Your Routine for Every Weather

Your hair health changes with the seasons.

Summer heat, monsoon humidity, and winter dryness each bring their own challenges.

Ayurveda explains these seasonal impacts through doshas:

1. Summer increases Pitta, causing hair thinning and scalp irritation.
2. Monsoon elevates Kapha, leading to dandruff and sticky scalp.
3. Winter aggravates Vata, resulting in dryness and breakage.

Modern science supports this, showing that UV exposure, humidity, and low temperatures can weaken hair, increase shedding, and damage cuticles.

Summer Hair Care Tips

Summer sun and heat make hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.

1. Massage with cooling oils like coconut or Kshupa Ayurvedic Hair Oil twice weekly.
2. Rinse hair with amla or rice water to restore shine and reduce oxidative stress.
3. Include hydrating foods such as cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water.
4. Cover hair outdoors to protect from UV damage.

Monsoon Hair Care Tips

High humidity creates the perfect environment for fungal growth and dandruff.

1. Wash hair 2–3 times per week with a mild herbal shampoo.
2. Use Kshupa Neem Hair Oil to protect follicles from microbial infections.
3. Keep hair dry and avoid sharing combs to prevent scalp infections.
4. Eat zinc-rich foods like pumpkin seeds and chickpeas to strengthen roots.

Winter Hair Care Tips

Cold winds and dry air cause split ends, frizz, and scalp dryness.

1. Massage with warm Kshupa Ayurvedic Hair Oil to lock in moisture.
2. Apply a banana and honey mask weekly for natural hydration.
3. Avoid hot showers; use lukewarm water to protect scalp oils.
4. Include healthy fats such as walnuts, flaxseeds, and ghee for scalp nourishment.
