It's concerning to hear about your hair loss at such a young age, especially when you've noticed a significant increase while washing and combing your hair. Changes in hair health can be influenced by several factors, including the use of new hair products like masks and thermal protection. While these products can provide benefits, they may also contain ingredients that could irritate the scalp or hair, leading to increased shedding, particularly if your hair is sensitive or if you are using them excessively. In Ayurveda, hair loss is often linked to imbalances in the doshas, particularly vata and pitta. An aggravated vata can lead to dryness and brittleness, while an excess of pitta can cause inflammation and overheating of the scalp. To promote healthy hair growth, Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach that includes nourishing both the body and the hair. You might consider using natural oils like coconut oil or almond oil to massage your scalp gently. These oils can help moisturize the hair and scalp, reduce dryness, and improve blood circulation. Additionally, incorporating herbs such as bhringraj and amla into your routine can provide essential nutrients to strengthen hair and promote growth. Amla, in particular, is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help prevent hair fall and improve scalp health. It's also important to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and proteins, to support overall hair health. Eating fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds can provide the nourishment your body needs. If the hair loss continues or worsens, it may be helpful to consult a healthcare professional or an Ayurvedic practitioner to explore underlying causes and receive personalized guidance. By focusing on both external care and internal nourishment, you can work toward restoring your hair's health and vitality.

Hey there! I get how worrying it can be when you see a bunch of hair all over the place. You're not alone in this, and I’ll try to help you figure it out. Let’s dive into this! First, it’s possble that the mask and thermal protection could be irritating your scalp or weighing down your hair, leading to more shedding. Some products have chemicals that might just not sit well with your hair and scalp type. Maybe give it a break and see if things calm down a bit. Now, let's think about some Ayurvedic stunning stuff. Hair health is deeply linked to your dosha balance, especially Pitta dosha. Pitta governs heat, and an imbalance can lead to things like inflammation and, yup, hair loss. Eating spicy and oily foods, or even too much sun exposure can disturb Pitta. Try focusing on a Pitta-pacifying diet. It’s like a natural detox—more cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and coconut water. Super refreshing! Avoid overly spicy or sour foods. And what about your hair care routine? Massage your scalp gently with warm coconut or sesame oil before washing. It’s like giving your hair a cozy little hug, promoting circulation and nourishment. Stress can be another sneaky culprit. I don’t know if you’re into yoga or meditation, but even just a few minutes a day can really help. Sometimes, taking deep breaths and letting go even for a while can do wonders. If you notice it's keep getting worse or you’re losing clumps, I’d recommend seeing a doctor. No shame in getting a second opinion to make sure it’s not something bigger. Your hair will thank you for it. Remember to be gentle on yourself and your hair - they're both trying their best! 😊
