If you’re a curly girl in India, monsoon = moisture overload and humidity nightmares. One minute you have juicy curls, the next you’re stuck with frizz, limp roots, and uneven definition. Don’t worry—you’re not alone and your hair isn’t misbehaving. It’s just reacting to all that extra water in the air.
Here’s how to get your curls back in control this monsoon season—with tips straight from curly hair specialists at Curl Care Salon (Thane, Mumbai) and Noi Tre Salons (Delhi & Gurgaon).

🌧️ 1. Don’t fight the volume—build it on purpose
You know those days when your roots get all limp and the ends puff up? That’s monsoon gravity + humidity.
Here’s what we do in-salon: we manipulate volume before the frizz starts. Flip your hair while applying product, scrunch at the root, and diffuse upside down—even for just 2 minutes. It’s not about drying—it’s about freezing your volume in place.
💧 2. Monsoon curls need slip, not weight
Most people start layering more product to “control the frizz.” But what your curls are actually asking for is slip. That gliding softness that stops strands from clinging together awkwardly.
Our go-to duo?
- Hydrate Don’t Hate Conditioner – for that rinse-out silk
- A dime-sized amount of Define & Shine Curl Cream on wet palms, then emulsify before applying
Slip = movement. Movement = bounce.
🚿 3. Treat rainwater like hard water (because it is)
Rainwater might feel “natural,” but when it mixes with pollution and sits on your scalp—it’s not romantic, it’s gross.
In the salons, we’ve seen more itchy scalps and dull curls during monsoon than any other season. Our fix? A gentle cleanse after any rain exposure, even if it’s a quick scalp-only wash.
Use Untangled Shampoo diluted with water and a scalp massage brush. Clean, happy scalp = fresh curls that can breathe again.
🌬️ 4. Skip the full air dry (Yes. Even if you’re a natural drying queen)
Monsoon = moisture overload in the air. If you let your curls air dry fully, they might take forever, and pick up too much environmental humidity along the way. Result? Frizz.
Salon trick:
Diffuse just until the outer layer is dry—this seals your curl clumps and stops the outer frizz shell from forming. Let the rest air dry protected.
Optional: Diffuse your bangs or face-frame pieces completely—so at least something stays cute, even if the back gets wild later.
🍃 5. Frizz isn’t the enemy—chaotic texture is
Frizz = texture without structure. In the salon, we don’t try to remove frizz, we try to redirect it.
How? We finger-coil a few pieces around the crown or near the ends, especially when styling is mid-week or on day 3 hair. It gives your overall shape an intentional look—like “Oh this? I woke up like this” but make it salon-approved.
👀 Real Talk: Monsoon Is When Bad Cuts Expose Themselves
If your hair is misbehaving only in this weather, it’s probably your products. But if your shape collapses completely? It’s the cut.
Monsoon will call out every badly placed layer, every over-thinned end, every lack of structure.
That’s your cue to get a reshape at a real curl salon like:
- Curl Care Salon, Thane
- Noi Tre Salon, Delhi (Vasant Vihar & Khan Market)
- Noi Tre, South Point Mall, Gurgaon
They understand your texture, and your weather—and they don’t guess.

Closing Vibe:
Monsoon isn’t the villain—it just demands better technique, smarter products, and a little bit of curl strategy. Once you stop forcing your hair to behave like it’s summer, you’ll actually love the softness, the movement, and even the drama.
Your curls don’t need to survive monsoon.They need to own it.
