When dealing with increased hair fall, it’s important to understand the root causes within your body according to the Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective. Hair fall can often result from an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Pitta, which can lead to irritation in the scalp and hair follicles. This irritation could be exacerbated by environmental factors or even stress. Aloe vera is well-known in Ayurveda for its cooling properties, which can help pacify an aggravated Pitta. The hydrating nature of aloe vera can soothe the scalp, potentially reducing dryness and irritation. However, it is essential to ensure that the Aloe Vera Mint Hair Wash is suitable for your specific constitution.
Concerning the mint in the hair wash, its menthol content can sometimes be irritating for sensitive scalps, mainly if there’s an underlying vata imbalance. Vata can cause dryness, and mint might temporarily create a cooling sensation that some experience as harsh. Since you mentioned sensitivity to minty products, I would advise conducting a patch test before committing to regular use.
Regarding use frequency, consider washing your hair about 2-3 times a week, which is generally enough to maintain scalp health without excessive stripping of natural oils. Over-washing can aggravate hair issues, particularly for those with vata-dominant constitutions.
Meanwhile, reinforcing your hair care routine with internal supports like including Bhringraj powder or Brahmi supplementation—which support hair health and balance Pitta and Vata—can harmonize with topical care. If hair fall persists or worsens, it would be wise to consult with a practitioner to explore deeper imbalances in your diet or lifestyle that might need correction.
