What ayurvedic powder for hair can help with my hair loss and dryness issues? - #21856

Nora

I am really struggling with my hair lately. It's been falling out a lot and it's super dry, ugh! 😩 So, I started looking into this ayurvedic powder for hair, but there’s so many options out there it's kinda overwhelming!!!! I heard things like amla and bhringraj are good, but rly not sure how to use them right. šŸ˜• I'm kinda skeptical about everything cause I've tried products with chemicals and they totally messed my hair up even more, my scalp felt sooo irritated and gross. But I read that ayurvedic powder for hair can help balance things out? Idk how true that is but I wanna find out! Last month, I even went to a salon and they told me to try some natural stuff — they suggested maybe a mix of amla and shikakai in a paste. But like, what really works?? My friend said that ayurvedic powder for hair could actually help not just with the dryness, but also add some shine and thickness. I haven’t seen much difference with what I’ve tried so far and I’m feeln’ kinda defeated. I've also seen remedies that involve mixing these powders with oils or yogurt. Is there a specific ayurvedic powder for hair that’s better for dryness? Or do I need to mix a bunch of them? And how often should I be using them, like every day?? I’m really determined to revitalize my hair and see if it really can make a difference. Just like, help a girl out with some insight on the best usage and what to expect maybe? I’m just desperate at this point, so I appreciate any tips!!!

Hair concerns like hair loss and dryness can indeed be addressed effectively with Ayurvedic powders. Your friends are onto something with the mention of amla, bhringraj, and shikakai. Each has unique properties beneficial for hair health. Amla (Indian Gooseberry) powder is a powerhouse of vitamin C and antioxidants. It helps strengthen hair follicles, supports scalp health, and can reduce hair loss. Bhringraj, known as the "King of Herbs" for hair, is reputed for promoting hair growth, reducing hair fall, and improving hair texture. Shikakai, on the other hand, acts as a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip the scalp of natural oils. When used together, they can form a potent mix that addresses the dryness and brittleness. For your concern, try creating a paste. Mix equal parts (about 2 tablespoons each) of amla, bhringraj, and shikakai powders. You can add a little warm water to achieve a paste-like consistency. If your hair is very dry, mix in a tablespoon of coconut oil or yogurt for added moisture. Apply this mix to your scalp and hair, leave it on for about 30-45 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh shampoos right after. Using this treatment once or twice a week should suffice. Daily usage might be too frequent and could dry out your hair. Be patient — results may take a few weeks to become noticeable as your hair adjusts to the natural regimen. Additionally, pay attention to your diet and lifestyle. Ensure you're well hydrated, include more fresh fruits and vegetables in your eating habits, and de-stress through practices like yoga or meditation which can positively impact hair health. Remember, the transition to natural remedies can take time, but the benefits can be substantial if sustained over time. If irritation occurs, or the condition worsens, consult with a healthcare professional to ensure there are no underlying conditions requiring attention.
