* If possible, get your hair trimmed regularly. Do not step out at the cost of your health, but many salon service providers are providing at-home services. If you can avail them, do that. Trimming can rid you of split ends and the general dryness of hair, which is a great thing for the monsoon months.

* While generally you are supposed to stay at home as much as possible, if you do have to step out in the rain, make sure you carry an umbrella with you, or a raincoat. Use the hood to cover your head and keep your hair from getting wet. It is best if you let your hair stay dry as much as possible, especially given the humidity.
