Nargis Fakhri: Tips on how to maintain your hair's volume and bounce during the rains

Monsoon is the time when your hair behaves differently due to the humidity in the air, and a diligent monsoon hair care regime is needed to nourish your hair from within and keep your volume and bounce! Here are few tips from Nargis Fakhri on how to keep your mane as ravishing as hers during the rains! 

 

-       Being in my profession, I need an effective hair care regime that can cope with the excess moisture in the air during monsoon & keep my hair smooth and manageable 24x7. Three thumb rules I swear by for my hair are drinking water, a healthy diet, adequate sleep and regular deep conditioning massages with hot coconut based hair oil.

 

-       A 20 minutes deep conditioning massage with hot coconut based hair oil is my non-negotiable hair care ritual, especially during the monsoon. Coconut based hair oil deeply penetrates into your scalp to deeply condition your hair, making it an instant solution against the frizz and keeping my hair voluminous, thick and full of bounce.

 

-       When I wash my hair in the monsoon, I pat my hair dry with a towel, and use a soft hair brush or a wide-toothed comb so that my hair isn’t treated harshly and it maintains its shine and natural oils.

 

-       Sometimes after many long days of shoot, all the hair styling makes my hair slightly dry, especially in the monsoon when the weather is humid! I simply get a quick 20 minute deep conditioning massage with hot coconut based hair oil, which nourishes my hair from within and brings back my volume and bounce.

 

-       I also make sure I don’t tie my hair very tightly as it will leave the strands broken leading to unnecessary damage and roughness. It’s best to keep your hair styles as simple as possible, maybe a sleek ponytail or a bun, as they are the easiest to maintain in the humid weather.

 

-       A good diet of 3-4 portions of fruit and vegetables gives me my share of anti-oxidants to keep my hair healthy. Also, protein enriched food such as milk, yoghurt; sprouts, etc. provide my hair with the essential nourishment. Drinking fluids like coconut water keep my system hydrated and refreshed, which makes sure my hair is healthy.

 

With these simple tips from Nargis, be assured of singing in the rain with gorgeous, beautiful hair!
