Monsoon Hair Fall in Mumbai: What Is Normal and What Is Not? Noticing more strands in the shower as Mumbai’s monsoon gets heavier? A temporary rise in shedding can happen during humid months, but every increase in hair fall should not automatically be dismissed as seasonal. High humidity keeps the scalp sweaty and oily, while rainwater, pollution and product buildup can increase itching, dandruff and breakage. Hair shafts also absorb moisture from the air, swell and become easier to snap. Seasonal shedding is usually diffuse and should begin settling as scalp health and weather improve. A widening part, receding temples, visible crown thinning, bald patches or shedding that continues well beyond the monsoon may point to an underlying condition. What you can do: • Rinse and cleanse the scalp after getting drenched instead of leaving polluted rainwater to dry on it. • Dry the roots completely, detangle gently and avoid tying soaking-wet hair tightly. • Track the pattern for several weeks rather than judging hair fall from one wash day. A scalp examination can separate temporary seasonal shedding from dandruff-related inflammation, telogen effluvium, nutritional deficiency or genetic pattern hair loss.
