Lifestyle Desk – Monsoon season brings with it cool showers and a relaxing atmosphere. However, due to heavy rains in this season, it sometimes becomes difficult to avoid getting wet even if you want to. After reaching home, most people use hair dryer or other heat styling products to dry their hair quickly. This method definitely saves time, but if it is adopted daily or incorrectly, it can have a negative impact on the health of the hair. Let us know what harm can be caused to hair by continuously using hair dryer and what things should be kept in mind.
Hair moisture may decrease
Hair is already in a delicate state after getting wet in the rain. In such a situation, by drying them with strong hot air, the natural moisture of the hair starts getting lost. Due to less moisture, hair starts appearing dry, lifeless and weak.
Risk of hair breakage and split ends
Continuously using a hair dryer on high heat can damage the outer layer of the hair i.e. cuticle. Due to this, hair starts breaking easily and the problem of split ends can also increase. Doing this for a long time can also affect the growth of hair length.
May affect scalp
The strong hot air of the hair dryer affects not only the hair but also the scalp. This can cause the scalp to become dry, which increases the risk of problems like itching, burning and dandruff. People whose scalp is already sensitive should take special care.
Hair shine may disappear
Due to repeated application of heat, hair starts losing its natural shine. Hair starts looking rough and lifeless, due to which its look is also affected. It becomes difficult to manage such hair and the style does not last long.
Frizzy hair problem may increase
There is more moisture in the air during monsoon. In such a situation, if the hair is dried with too hot air, it can become more frizzy and tangled. This also creates difficulty in detangling the hair and increases the risk of hair breakage.
How to use hair dryer safely?
If it is necessary to use a hair dryer, then some things should be kept in mind. First of all, dry the hair gently with a towel or microfiber towel. Use hair dryer only after this. Always run the dryer on medium or cool setting and keep it at a distance of at least 15 to 20 centimeters from the hair. Do not blow hot air at one place for a long time. Apart from this, using heat protectant serum or spray can also provide additional protection to the hair.
Keep these things in mind also
It is not considered right to leave the hair wet for a long time after getting wet in the rain, because it can increase the risk of fungal infection on the scalp. Therefore, dry the hair thoroughly in a natural way or with the help of light air. Also, hair can be kept healthy by adopting a balanced diet, adequate water and regular hair care routine.
