Itโs the top question on everyoneโs mind as soon as the rains hit: โWhy is my hair falling out?โ. In India, this seasonal surge is a combination of biology and the environment. High humidity, often exceeding 80%, causes your hairโs keratin protein to absorb excess moisture, making the shaft swell and the cuticles lift. This results in โhygral fatigue,โ where hair becomes brittle and prone to breaking during simple combing.
Furthermore, a damp scalp is a breeding ground for fungi like Malassezia, leading to dandruff and scalp inflammation that can prematurely push hair into the shedding phase. If you live in an urban center like Bangalore or Mumbai, hard water (high in calcium and magnesium) adds to the problem by leaving a mineral โscumโ that clogs follicles and makes roots feel weak.
Expert Tip: Focus on โscalp-firstโ care. Use a clarifying or anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione 2โ3 times a week to keep the microbiome balanced. Avoid tying up wet hair, as the roots are at their most vulnerable when damp.
