Does Rainy Weather Worsen Hair Fall? Here’s the Truth

Hair Fall in the Monsoon
The rainy season in Bangalore brings welcome relief from summer heat—but along with it comes a sudden spike in hair fall. If you’ve noticed more hair in your shower drain or comb lately, you’re not alone. Many experience increased hair shedding during the monsoon. But is it caused by the rain?
Let’s decode the truth!
Why Hair Fall Increases During Monsoon
Monsoon weather creates a unique mix of high humidity, damp scalp, and excess oil secretion, which disrupts the natural balance of your scalp. Here’s how:
- Excess Humidity: Encourages fungal infections and weakens hair roots.
- Sweat + Sebum Buildup: Clogs hair follicles, leading to scalp irritation and hair breakage.
- Rainwater Exposure: Rainwater often contains pollutants and is acidic, which damages hair strands and strips away natural oils.
The result? Weakened follicles, breakage, and seasonal hair shedding.
Is It Permanent Hair Loss?
No. Seasonal hair fall is usually temporary, but ignoring it can lead to longer-term thinning if the scalp isn’t treated properly.
If you lose more than 100 strands a day or notice thinning patches, it may point to underlying issues like:
- Androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss)
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Scalp infections or hormonal imbalances
That’s when you need to consult a dermatologist.
