how to stop hairfall at home - #23442

Isabella

I am really struggling with hairfall lately, and I don't know how to stop hairfall at home. It started a few months ago, and I've noticed my hair has thinned out a lot, especially around the crown. I tried some over-the-counter products, but they didn’t seem to work for me. I even got some blood work done, but everything came back normal, so that’s confusing. So far, I've tried a couple of home remedies like coconut oil and maybe some onion juice? They say that helps, but honestly, the application is kinda messy, and I can’t really tell if it’s making a difference. I feel like there should be some simple, natural ways to stop hairfall at home because making appointments with doctors is tough right now. Plus, I'm a little worried it might affect my confidence too, you know? Does anyone have tips on what works? Like, actual steps or mixtures I can try regularly that could help. Just hoping to turn this around without too much fuss!

Considering you’ve already explored typical home remedies, let’s delve into some Ayurvedic approaches that align with your constitution, or ‘prakriti’. Since your bloodwork is normal, we’ll focus on balancing the doshas, particularly, any excess Pitta or Vata, which often contribute to hairfall.

First, let’s look into dietary habits. It’s vital to nourish the hair from within. Ensure your diet includes natural, whole foods rich in iron and protein, such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and lentils. A common mistake people make is overlooking their agni, or digestive fire. Sipping on warm water infused with a slice of ginger before meals can mendle matters by enhancing digestion and nutrient absorption.

For external applications, though coconut oil is great, consider Bhringraj oil. It’s touted as the “king of herbs” for hair wellness in Ayurveda. Warm the oil slightly before applying; this helps it penetrate the scalp better. Massage gently, working it in with your fingertips to improve circulation. Leave it in for at least an hour before washing it out.

A might lesser known technique, is applying an Amla & Shikakai hair mask. Mix equal parts Amla powder and Shikakai powder with some water to form a paste. Apply this to your scalp and hair, leave for about 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Amla is rich in Vitamin C which supports hair strength, while Shikakai acts like a natural cleaner, maintaining scalp health.

Incorporate stress-reducing practices like yoga or meditation; stress-related dosha imbalances also lead to hair loss. Try to fit in regular relaxation practices or even daily journaling. These can help balance Vata, which can further manage stress.

Remember to be consistent, these remedies aren’t overnight solutions, but they can stabilize doshas, gradually reducing hairfall if applied regularly. If symptoms persist, seek out an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor a treatment to your unique constitution. Also, avoid harsh chemical treatments or heating tools on hair, as they can exacerbate hair thinning issues.
