how to strengthen hair roots naturally - #37289
I am really struggling with my hair lately. It’s been falling out more than usual, and I'm just not sure how to strengthen hair roots naturally. I’ve tried a bunch of products from the store, you know those fancy shampoos and conditioners that promise the world, but honestly, it feels like they’ve done nothing. My hair feels weak, and some strands seem to break way too easily. The other day, I was brushing my hair after a shower and I got really frustrated because I swear I saw a bald patch forming! I don’t think I'm under a lot of stress, at least not more than usual, but I guess who knows what a silent stress could do? I’ve read online about oils and herbs but honestly have no clue where to begin. Now, I remember my grandma used to make this kinda mixture of oils, like coconut and almond, but I can’t recall how she did it. I heard things like hibiscus and amla are good too, but am I supposed to mix that with anything? What are the best ways how to strengthen hair roots naturally? Any tips or home remedies that are super effective? Would love to hear what worked for others! Thanks in advance!

To strengthen your hair roots naturally, integrating Ayurvedic practices can be quite effective. It’s often about nourishing the hair from within and using natural ingredients that provide essential nutrients. Given your concerns, we can tailor some simple yet effective remedies:
Firstly, consider incorporating amla (Indian gooseberry) into your routine. Amla is renowned in Ayurveda for promoting hair strength and preventing premature greying. You can create a paste by mixing amla powder with water, apply it to your hair and scalp, leaving it for about 30 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. Its vitamin C content is beneficial in boosting collagen production, strengthening hair follicles.
Next, coconut oil mixed with almond oil is a wonderful remedy. Coconut oil penetrates deep into the hair shaft, offering rich moisture and proteins, whereas almond oil provides vitamin E, reducing dryness and breakage. Warm a mixture of equal parts coconut and almond oil, gently massage it onto your scalp in circular motions, promoting blood circulation. Leave it on overnight (if possible) or at least for a few hours before washing it out with a mild shampoo.
Utilize hibiscus flowers and leaves, they are excellent for hair health, providing intense hydration and shine. Prepare a paste by grinding fresh hibiscus flowers and leaves with some water. Apply this to the scalp and hair, let it sit for around 30 minutes, then rinse it off thoroughly. This will help repair the dullness and strengthen the hair roots while encouraging growth.
Incorporating a diet rich in proteins, such as lentils, seeds, and nuts, can make a significant difference in hair strength. Ensuring a balanced intake of iron and maintaining a healthy agni (digestive fire) with easily digestible foods is crucial to nourish your hair from the inside out.
Always try to manage stress consciously, for instance through pranayama or yoga, as stress can often manifest in hair issues without one realizing. Remember to follow these remedies consistently for best results, and note any changes over time.
