My hair density going low day by day - #26609

Vashisht barnwal

I am facing a serious hair fall problem. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed that my hair density is getting lower day by day. My scalp is becoming more visible, especially on the top and front areas, which is really worrying. The hair strands also feel thinner than before. Along with the hair fall, I experience frequent itching and irritation on my scalp. Sometimes, the itching is so intense that it becomes hard to focus on anything else. There are also days when I notice dandruff, mostly dry flakes, which adds to the discomfort and seems to worsen the hair fall. In some areas, I feel like my scalp is starting to look patchy or bald, especially when I tie or comb my hair. It’s becoming difficult to manage, and I feel my overall hair health is getting worse. I am not sure what is causing this—maybe stress, diet, or some scalp issue. I haven’t changed my shampoo or hair oil recently, so I’m quite confused. I would really appreciate it if you could help me identify the cause and suggest the right treatment to control this problem before it gets more serious.

Your situation with hair fall and scalp issues can indeed be distressing. In Ayurveda, this could be pointing to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, particularly related to the Bhrajaka Pitta, which governs the skin and hair. Excessive Pitta can lead to scalp irritation, inflammation, and itching, while also affecting the strength of the hair follicles, making hair appear thinner and leading to hair fall. Additionally, Vata imbalance might contribute to dryness and dandruff.
To address this, your first approach should be to pacify Pitta and balance Vata doshas. Start with dietary adjustments. Incorporate cooling foods that help balance Pitta, such as cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Avoid hot spices, caffeinated beverages, and fried foods as they can aggravate Pitta. Increase your intake of hydrating and nourishing liquids, like coconut water or herbal teas like Brahmi or basil.
For topical treatments, apply Brahmi oil or Bhringraj oil to your scalp twice a week. These oils have cooling properties and helps in nourishing the hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth. Gently massage the oil onto your scalp to improve blood circulation, leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing with a mild, natural shampoo.
Address the itching and dandruff by using a neem-based hair pack once a week. Mix neem powder with water to make a paste, apply it onto your scalp, leave it for about 20 minutes, and then rinse. The antimicrobial properties of neem help in reducing inflammation and control dandruff.
Practice stress-relieving techniques such as Yoga or meditation daily. Stress often exacerbates Pitta imbalances and yoga can help stabilize your mental state, thus reflecting positively on your physical health, including your hair.
Since you’re experiencing a very visible reduction in hair density and patchiness, please consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a more personalized treatment plan or if these at-home remedies do not show improvement within a few weeks.
Consider taking a break from heat styling tools or tight hairstyles, as these can contribute to increased hair stress and breakage. Also, ensure your diet includes nuts and seeds, which provide essential fatty acids and proteins vital for hair health.

Hair fall, coupled with itching, irritation, and dandruff, can indeed be distressing, but there are insights from Siddha-Ayurveda that can help address these issues. This condition often indicates an imbalance in the pitta dosha, which could be aggravated by stress, dietary habits, or other lifestyle factors.
To begin addressing this issue, consider looking closely at your diet. Incorporate foods that are cooling and nourishing to help pacify the pitta dosha. Include fresh fruits like melons, pomegranates, and plums, alongside green leafy vegetables and cooling herbs like coriander. Avoiding spicy, oily, and fermented foods can be beneficial as they might aggravate pitta imbalances further. Regular hydrate your body and mind by drinking ample water throughout the day to maintain the moisture balance.
For external treatment, consider using hair oils based on amla (Indian gooseberry) or bhringraj (False Daisy). These herbs are known in Siddha tradition for nourishing the scalp and strengthening the hair follicles. Apply the oil gently to your scalp before bedtime, allowing it to work overnight and washing it off in the morning with a mild, herbal shampoo.
Additionally, the itching and dandruff suggest that there might be heat and dryness on the scalp. Consider concocting a hair mask using ingredients such as aloe vera gel mixed with neem powder. Neem has cooling, antifungal properties, which can help reduce itching and dandruff. Apply this mask once a week, leaving it on for about 30 minutes before rinsing gently.
Stress is another potential aggravator; therefore, incorporating calming practices such as meditation or gentle yoga into your routine can help balance your overall system, harmonizing body and mind. Avoid over-washing the hair, as it can strip natural oils and worsen scalp dryness.
Finally, it’s vital to address this promptly and, if your condition does not improve or worsens, seek the advice of a healthcare professional. Scalp conditions can sometimes indicate underlying health issues that may require more direct intervention.
