For shirodhara, it's important to know that this is a therapeutic technique where warm oil is poured in a steady stream on the forehead. Typically, after each session, it is advised to leave the oil for a couple of hours to sink in and then wash the hair gently. It's not necessary to avoid washing your hair for all 7 days unless your Ayurvedic practitioner instructs otherwise based on your specific condition.
Given your concerns about hairfall and the issues with shampoo, consider a more gentle hair cleansing routine. You might try an Ayurvedic herbal shampoo, like one containing ritha (soapnut) or shikakai. These ingredients are less harsh and can nourish the scalp. You could make a homemade paste using these powders. Mix them with a little water, apply to wet hair, leave for a few minutes, and rinse. Remember to use lukewarm, never hot water.
Hairfall can be tied to pitta dosha aggravation, stress, or nutritional aspects. Addressing these can help. Incorporating cooling foods like cucumber, cilantro, or coconut can help balance pitta. Ensure diet includes sufficient iron, zinc and protein-rich foods such as lentils and green leafy vegetables. Drinking a glass of fenugreek seed-infused water each morning may strengthen roots.
It’s mentioned coconut oil is used before washes. While coconut oil can be beneficial, if your constitution is predominantly kapha, it might lead to heaviness. Try sesame oil, which is vata and pitta balancing. Apply warm oil massage to scalp 1-2 times a week before shampooing and keep for an hour not longer.
Take care of stress, practice relaxation techniques, as stress can cause hairfall, try deep breathing or yogic practices. Re-evaluate any other factors like medications or lifestyle habits impacting hair health. In case of severe or sudden hairfall, it's advised to consult a healthcare provider to rule out underlying condition.
