is hairfall common in monsoon

Sia

I am starting to really worry about my hair since the monsoon season hit. Like, just a few weeks ago, my hair was fine but now it feels like I'm shedding more than usual!!! I've always heard that is hairfall common in monsoon, but I guess I never paid much attention until now. I mean, I can handle a few strands here and there, but this seems different. I wash my hair daily, and I noticed after shampooing, there’s so much hair in the drain, and it's really freaking me out. I even asked my sister if she noticed, and she said it makes sense since humidity can affect hair, right? But, my friends say they’re fine with their hair, so now I'm second-guessing if I'm crazy! I don’t think I changed any products or habits, but my scalp feels a bit oily and itchy too. Like, is this normal? I've been drinking more water trying to stay hydrated because I heard it could help. Can anyone shed some light on this and tell me if is hairfall common in monsoon for everyone or just me? Should I see a doctor about this or just ride it out? Any tips would be sooo appreciated!

Yes, it is indeed common to experience increased hair fall during the monsoon season. Humidity, which is prevalent in the monsoon, can lead to more moisture in the air, possibly causing the scalp to become oily and congested, resulting in hair falling more than usual. You’re not imagining it; the change in weather can alter the scalp’s condition, making it seem itchier and show more hair loss. It’s also important to note that each individual can react differently to weather changes, with some people experiencing more significant differences while others may not notice as much of a shift. Since you also mentioned an oily and itchy scalp, which could suggest excess oil production and may contribute to hair loss, it’s a good idea to be attentive to any additional symptoms that might arise, such as redness or sores, which could indicate a scalp infection or another dermatological issue. Since you’re considering options about seeing a doctor, evaluating the severity might be useful. If the hair fall is extreme or if other symptoms appear, consulting a dermatologist may provide tailored insight and treatment options. Meanwhile, maintaining a balanced hair-care routine could help reduce hair fall. Avoid over-washing as this can strip natural oils and irritate your scalp further. Instead, try washing your hair every other day with a mild shampoo that’s suitable for your hair type, and consider using a lightweight conditioner, focusing on the strands rather than the roots to avoid extra oil buildup. Including a good diet, rich in vitamins like biotin and iron, can support hair health, and it’s great that you’re already staying hydrated – it’s helpful for overall well-being. If the problem persists or worsens, a healthcare provider can conduct a thorough evaluation to rule out factors like hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies that might require more targeted interventions.
