Firstly, congratulations on taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle and achieving significant weight loss. Yes, sometimes rapid weight loss can lead to hair fall due to bodily stress or nutritional deficiencies. As per Ayurveda, hair fall is often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which may be exacerbated by nutritional changes, lifestyle, or hormonal shifts. For addressing hair fall, begin by ensuring a balanced intake of essential nutrients. Your diet might be lacking in proteins, iron, zinc, and vitmamins like Biotin, commonly found in dairy, nuts, seeds, and green leafy veggies. Since you are avoiding dairy, find alternates - include foods like almonds, chickpeas, and spinach. You might also consider a blood test to rule out anaemia or thyroid issues, which can also cause hair issues. Consider incorporating Amla (Indian gooseberry) into your routine, either as juice or directly as a fruit. It is a well-known Ayurvedic remedy for hair health–nourishing hair follicles, and enhancing shine. Also, try massaging your scalp regularly with a warm oil blend—think coconut or sesame oil infused with Brahmi or Bhringraj powders for their Pitta balancing effect. Hot oil massages improve circulation and help in hair regeneration. Brisk jogging might be somewhat Pitta-aggravating. Balance this with calming activities like yoga or meditation for mind-body harmony. Your body might also benefit from Shirodhara, an Ayurvedic therapy which might help reduce stress levels, thus potentially slowing hair fall. Since you are adapting a significant lifestyle shift, slight adjustments can be key. Remember, sustaining hair growth from within is a gradual process; be patient with changes. If hair fall persists, consulting a local health professional would be wise to ensure no underlying condition goes unaddressed.
