Hair thinning and regrowth depend on multiple factors, including genetics, diet, scalp health, stress levels, and hair care practices. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach by balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), improving blood circulation to the scalp, and using natural herbs to strengthen hair. Here’s a detailed guide to stopping hair thinning and regrowing hair naturally and also check for the your Thryoid levels
A. Herbal Oils for Hair Nourishment
1. Bhringraj Oil (Eclipta Alba) – “King of Hair” Strengthens hair follicles, prevents hair fall, and promotes growth. Massage warm bhringraj oil into the scalp 2-3 times a week.
2. Amla Oil (Indian Gooseberry) – Natural Hair Tonic Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants that prevent premature graying and boost growth. Mix amla oil with coconut oil and apply overnight before washing.
3. Brahmi & Neem Oil – For Scalp Health
Brahmi enhances blood circulation and nourishes roots. Neem has antibacterial properties that prevent dandruff and scalp infections. Mix equal parts of neem oil and coconut oil, apply for 30 minutes before shampooing.
4. Coconut & Castor Oil Mix – For Thickness & Strength
Coconut oil penetrates deeply into hair shafts. Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, which promotes hair growth. Mix 2 tbsp of coconut oil with 1 tbsp castor oil and massage into the scalp.
2. Diet & Lifestyle for Hair Growth
A. Nutrition for Hair Health
Hair is made of keratin (a protein), so a protein-rich diet is essential. Also, deficiencies in iron, zinc, and biotin can lead to hair loss.
✅ Best Foods for Hair Growth:
Iron & Zinc: Spinach, lentils, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, dates.
Protein: Eggs, paneer, yogurt, legumes, almonds.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Flaxseeds, walnuts, chia seeds.
Vitamin C: Amla, oranges, bell peppers (helps in iron absorption).
Biotin: Bananas, mushrooms, sweet potatoes.
B. Hydration & Detox
Drink 2-3 liters of water daily to keep hair hydrated.
Start the day with warm lemon water or Triphala tea to flush out toxins.
C. Stress Management (Prevents Hair Fall Due to Cortisol Imbalance)
Shirodhara (Ayurvedic oil therapy): A calming oil treatment that reduces stress and hair fall.
Yoga & Meditation: Practice breathing exercises (Pranayama) and stress-relief yoga like Balayam (nail rubbing), Sarvangasana (Shoulder stand), and Vajrasana to enhance blood circulation to the scalp.
3. Best Practices to Prevent Hair Thinning
❌ Avoid These:
Overwashing (2-3 times per week is ideal).
Heat styling, chemical treatments, harsh shampoos with sulfates & parabens.
Tight hairstyles that cause traction alopecia (ponytails, tight buns).
✅ Do These Instead:
Use a wooden comb to reduce breakage and improve blood circulation.
Massage scalp daily (5-10 minutes) to boost follicle health.
Use silk pillowcases to reduce friction and hair breakage.
Hi Meshach,
I understand how concerning this must be for you. Can you tell me if you’ve noticed any other changes in your health, such as stress, digestive issues, or hormonal imbalances that could be affecting your hair growth? Also, how is your diet and overall lifestyle—are you getting enough nutrients, particularly vitamins like biotin, zinc, and vitamin D? Lastly, do you have any history of scalp issues like dandruff or itching? This information can help in suggesting a more targeted approach for your hair thinning.
So you’re dealing with hair thinning. Ugh, I know how frustrating that can be. Let’s dive straight into it. In Ayurveda, hair loss is often linked to imbalances in the Pitta dosha. And stress, diet, lifestyle—they can all mess with your Pitta. First up, let’s talk diet. Eating cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and lettuce can help. Avoid spicy, oily or heavy foods because they can aggravate Pitta. Try to drink plenty of water to keep hydrated.
But, hey, remember that diet change isn’t overnight magic. It’s more like… gradual improvement. Okay, now let’s talk about oils. They’re honestly the best when it comes to hair care in Ayurveda. A gentle head massage, two or three times a week using Bhringraj oil, coconut oil, or amla oil can help nourish the scalp and strengthen hair roots. Slightly warm the oil before applying. Massage with your fingertips. No claws please, it’s all about gentle circles. Should do it for about 10-15 minutes, leave it on for around an hour before washing.
Speaking of washing, that’s another point. Choose herbal shampoos (you got to check they don’t have harsh chemicals) and don’t over-wash, because it can rob your hair of natural oils.
And if we’re considering creams, hmm, there isn’t exactly an Ayurvedic cream that’s like a golden ticket for hair regrowth. But natural remedies, oils, and good care help a lot. Consider Henna too for dyeing, instead of chemical stuff, if you’re keen on color.
Oh, and stress is a huge factor! Practice some yoga or meditation to keep the worry lines away. Stress management has got to be part of this journey. Sleep well, too – don’t underestimate the power of a good 7-8 hours snooze nightly. It might sound cliché, but your body and hair will thank you.
If you don’t see any progress, consulting with a dermatologist could be a wise step to spot underlying conditions. Good luck, be patient with your hair! This stuff takes time.
