what is the main reason for hair fall - #36998
I am dealing with some hair fall issues, and honestly, it’s starting to freak me out a bit. Like, I never thought I’d be counting the strands that fall out every time I shower. I’ve tried different shampoos, but that didn't seem to help much. Last month, I even got blood tests done, and they said everything was fine, no deficiencies. My friend mentioned that stress could be a reason, and sure, I’ve been really busy at work, maybe that’s part of it? But I’m curious, what is the main reason for hair fall, really? I’ve read about hormonal changes too, and I think my cycle has been a little off lately, could that be linked somehow? And then there’s diet, I’m trying to eat healthier but it’s a struggle. Sometimes I wonder if it’s a mix of everything. Ugh, it’s just frustrating! I’d love to hear from others—what is the main reason for hair fall in your experience? Any Ayurvedic perspectives? Like, are there specific remedies or routines you recommend? I hope to get back that shine and volume.

The main reason for hair fall often traces back to a complex interplay between internal and external factors. In Ayurveda, hair health is closely tied to the balance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas, with Pitta dosha often playing a central role in hair issues. Excessive Pitta can lead to overheating of the scalp, causing hair fall. Stress, as you’ve guessed, amplifies Vata and disrupts your doshas, also contributing to hair fall.
Hormonal imbalances, indeed, can be a significant factor. Fluctuations, such as those occurring during menstrual cycle irregularities, can weaken the dhatus (tissues), including those supporting hair growth. Hormonal changes affect Pitta as well, often causing inflammation or overheating that stunts hair growth.
Diet plays another major role. Nutrient-dense foods, rich in iron, proteins, and essential fatty acids, nourish the scalp and promote healthy hair growth. Inconsistent eating patterns or a lack of vital nutrients can deprive your hair follicles of what they need to thrive. Ensure a balanced intake of fresh, whole foods that align with your dosha type. Incorporate foods like sesame seeds, green leafy vegetables, and almonds to inherent naturally beneficial qualities.
Ayurvedic herbs such as Bhringraj and Amla are exceptional for hair health. Bhringraj is known as the ‘king of herbs’ for hair due to its cooling properties, balancing high Pitta, and promoting hair growth. Amla, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, strengthens hair and adds shine. You might consider making a hair mask with a powder of these herbs mixed with water or aloe vera juice, applied to your scalp once a week.
For a deeper, soothing effect, massage your scalp with warm coconut or sesame oil infused with Brahmi or Neem. This will calm the mind (reducing stress-induced Vata imbalance)—and foster healthy hair growth. Do it weekly, preferably at night, and leave it overnight for best results.
Lastly, establishing a calming routine may help mitigate stress-related hair fall. Yoga, meditation, or simply a wind-down practice before bedtime can balance your doshas, intensifying your hair’s resilience against the effects of stress. Taking time for these soothing activities may help restore not just your hair’s health but overall wellbeing.
