The joy was at times short -lived when the monsoon wreaks havaoc on my hair. Do you feel the same way?
Catalyst Salon and Spa is here to help you with effective monsoon haircare tips.
AVE THE SCALP!
SAVE THE SCALP
The monsoons are notorious for causing scalp issues such as dandruff, dry scalp or increased senstivity. A solution that puts a check mark is opting for regular hairspa's ( L'oreal) to keep the scalp free of infections . The easiest way to protect your scalp is using the right kind of shampoo to cleanse the scalp and please do not tie damp hair.

A PROTECTIVE SHEILD
How we shudder at the "F" word! Don,t get me wrong, I mean the "frizz" mass our hair turns during the rains. Serums are certainly the way to go and also choose the correct combination of anti - frizz cream ( liss control gel cream - L'oreal Professionnel)cream or Serum ( liss Ultime - L'oreal Professionnel) For a natural mask for the hair right from the kitchen try out a combination of olive oil,eggs and curd. Use this pack once a month for 30 minutes.Also use raincoats with hoodies or umbrella's to protect the hair from coming in direct contact with the high clorine levels in rain water.

BEING NIT PICKY....
Choosing your product for the season with exceptional care and in accordance with your hair type goes a long way.Not just when it comes to products related to haircare, but also picking what goes into your body ( having a healthy diet) is absolutely essential.

NAILING THE STYLE
The best way to make sure you stay on the style meter is by getting and flaunting a trendy haircut. I suggest in wearing the hair short or keeping it tied as the easiest way to manage your mane this season. If you are ready to go short , pick and choose from the wide array of bobs to mix  sophistication with fun. Long lengths still have your fancy? There's a whole platter of up- styles, be it pony tails or braids, at your disposal. You will have an interesting time playing mix and match.

THE BIG NO !
While shedding light on what should be done to protect the hair,giving you tips on the stuff that your locks will be better off without.
1. Tying or brush through wet hair.
This will only add to the damage levels.
2. Using strong shampoos:
 Only works to further dehydrate and dry out your hair.
3. Proper usage of conditioners and Masque :
Use a conditioner according to your hair type, mainly giving more importance to the length of the hair. Never use the conditioner on the scalp as it could cause dandruff.
4. Blow drying and heat treatments :
 It is not advisable to blow dry very often. These are hygroscopic in nature , which means that they make their hair absorb the moisture from the effect of the treatments.
With these handy tips now in your bag, go on, flaunt those gorgeous tresses away

So as I always say go out and dance in the rains this monsoon season and don't forget to post us your hair care tips.
