Ayurvedic And Hair Care

Ayurveda defines three Doshas that govern the body. They are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These Dosha’s when imbalance can affect hair health and appearance. Vata is an airy and drying Dosha. In the imbalance of this Dosha, the hair grows fast but is often dry and frizzy. There is insufficient oil and moisture to keep the scalp and hair optimally healthy. Pitta is a heaty Dosha and when in balance can support beautiful hair. When imbalanced, there is a tendency for premature greying and even baldness in spots. Kapha being heavy and moist is the ideal Dosha that one would desire to keep the scalp and hair well moisturised and lustrous. But in excess, it may lead to limp and over greasy locks. The danger of a Kapha imbalance is compounded by the fact that it suppresses the Agni or digestive fire. This causes the digestion to be inefficient. When digestion is imperfect there is a formation of the metabolic waste called Ama. This Ama impacts the whole body. The hair also gets affected and starved of essential nutrients due to this imbalance. 

One should follow a diet and lifestyle habits that help maintain one’s natural Dosha balance. The application of oils and herbs that strengthen the hair and keep the scalp free of problems ensures strong and healthy hair.

Hair Care - An Overview

The general view of hair texture and health is considered to be influenced by genetics, nutrition, environment, stress, disorders, diseases, and hormonal imbalances. Malnourishment has a huge impact on the health and appearance of the hair. Some diseases such as thyroid problems and autoimmune disorders can impact hair growth. Even medication that is prescribed to treat other issues can have side effects that harm the hair. Stress and traumatic events have been known to cause extreme hair fall or sudden greying
