You’re dressed to the nines, makeup on point and hair is freshly blow dried. Then, you end up stepping into a mucky puddle that’ll ensure your shoes squeak all day long and your hair decides to go all ‘evil witch of Azkaban’ on you, despite styling it just an hour ago. Well, say hello Indian monsoons and humidity!
The fact is that hair that tends to be dry will get even more unruly in the monsoon as there’s moisture in the air and the hair shaft seeks this out from the environment around it. Work smart, not hard, they say, so a good idea is to get your hands on a lightweight hair spray that will not only protect from heat damage but also tame stubborn monsoon frizz, stop baby hair going static and annoying flyaways that take on a life of their own! Take a look at our picks…
