How to protect hair falls from front of head, it seems little visible right now, I am aged 26 Been washing it just with Filtered water. Should I avoid some shampoo, any shampoo suggested or oil. How is Argon oil to use
Doctors’ responses
Hi shyam dont worry ,You are experiencing mild hair thinning at the front of your scalp, which is common around your age due to multiple reasons like stress, nutritional deficiencies, scalp buildup, or early male/female pattern hair loss.
Since you’re 26 and already noticing visibility, it’s a good time to take early steps to slow or reverse it.
This condition is commonly seen due to imbalance in scalp health, poor blood circulation, or excessive dryness. You mentioned that you’re using only filtered water and no shampoo. While avoiding harsh shampoos is good, not cleansing the scalp thoroughly can lead to buildup of dead cells and oil which can block follicles.
so, what u can do is Start with washing your scalp twice a week using a mild, sulfate-free shampoo. Look for ingredients like Bhringraj, Amla, Tea Tree, or Aloe Vera. Brands like Forest Essentials, Kama Ayurveda, or Himalaya Anti-Hairfall Shampoo are safer options. Avoid daily shampooing unless sweating heavily.
Argan oil is a good nourishing oil it helps in moisturizing the scalp and reducing dryness, but it doesn’t stimulate new growth significantly. For hair regrowth, oils like Bhringraj oil, Neelibhringadi taila, or Coconut oil infused with curry leaves and hibiscus are better choices. Use oil twice a week before hair wash and massage gently in circular motion for 5-10 minutes to increase blood flow.
Internally, your body also needs nourishment. Make sure you’re eating a protein-rich diet include eggs, nuts, seeds (especially flax and pumpkin seeds), green leafy vegetables, and fruits like amla or oranges daily. Iron and B12 deficiencies can also cause early hair loss, so a blood test may be required if the issue persists.
Stress management is very important. Regular yoga or pranayama (like anulom-vilom and bhramari) will help improve blood flow to the scalp and balance hormones.
If despite this, the thinning continues after 3-4 months, then Ayurvedic internal medications: 1. Amalaki rasayana 2. Narasimha Rasayanam 3.cap.Trichup this all can be done and I must also know your prakriti and digestion. In severe cases, treatments like Shirodhara, Nasya therapy, or PRP (in modern dermatology) can be planned after a scalp assessment.
Most importantly, stay consistent. Hair care takes time, just like plants grow slowly when nourished. You’re still young, and this condition is reversible with regular care and a holistic approach. Always begin simple cleanse the scalp, nourish it from both outside and inside, manage stress and results will follow steadily. THANK YOU REGARDS , DR.KARTHIKA

Hair loss at the front of the head can sometimes be related to genetic causes, lifestyle, or even dosha imbalances, as per Ayurvedic principles. In Ayurveda, hair health is predominantly associated with Pitta dosha, so it’s important to manage an excess of this dosha. Firstly, you might want to watch out on excess heat-producing foods like spicy foods, caffeine, and excessive exposure to sunlight which are all known to aggravate Pitta.
Ditching harsh shampoos that may cause further irritation to your scalp can help; mild, herbal shampoos are recommended. Look for Ayurvedic shampoos that contain natural ingredients like neem, amla, shikakai, reetha, and brahmi. These ingredients help to maintain the scalp’s natural balance and nourish the roots.
Argan oil is a safe option, it is deeply hydrating and rich in nutrients, but in Ayurveda, oils like coconut, almond, or bhringraj oil are traditionally favored. Bhringraj oil, for instance, is well-regarded for supporting hair growth and reducing hair fall. Massage it gently into your scalp once or twice a week to improve blood circulation and help with nourishment.
Another key is focusing on a diet that balances all three doshas - include amla for its rich vitamin C content, nuts and seeds for essential fatty acids, and leafy greens to supply iron and other vital minerals.
In addressing your specific hair concern, incorporate regular head massages to improve circulation to your scalp. Avoid hot water for rinsing hair, as it may weaken the hair follicles. Stick with lukewarm or room temperature filtered water as you’re doing.
Lastly, consider stress management techniques like yoga and meditation as stress is a silent contributor to hair loss. If hair loss continues or worsens, consulting a healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment would be prudent. It ensures no underlying condition is present that needs medical attention.
