how to make your hair strong - #37767
I am really struggling with my hair lately, and I feel like I’ve tried everything. My hair was once thick and flowing, but now it’s thinning out more than I’d like to admit. Like, every time I brush it, I see so many strands falling out; it’s honestly kinda scary. I recently read about how to make your hair strong, trying to figure out if there’s something special I can do? Last month, I started eating more veggies and nuts, thinking maybe diet was the issue. But I also heard about natural oils that could help too, like coconut or almond oil? I dunno if it’s just a myth or what, but I’m keen on figuring out how to make your hair strong again. Also, I’ve been stressed with work stuff; could that be impacting my hair? My friend suggested a Ayurvedic treatment and said something about how to make your hair strong using herbal remedies, but I have no clue where to start. Like, is there a specific routine or ingredients that actually work? Looking for any tips! Thanks!

Doctors’ responses
Hair loss and thinning can indeed be a concern, especially if you’re noticing increased shedding. In Ayurveda, hair health is closely related to dosha imbalances, particularly the Vata dosha, which when aggravated, can lead to dryness and brittleness of hair. Stress can exacerbate this imbalance as well, increasing Pitta, which is known to contribute to hair loss due to a heated state in the body.
Firstly, addressing your diet is key. You’ve started incorporating more veggies and nuts, which is great. Go further by ensuring good intake of Vitamin B, C, E, and minerals like zinc and iron—they are essential for supporting hair growth and maintaining follicle health. Add Amla (Indian Gooseberry), a powerful source of vitamin C, available as fresh fruits or in powdered form to your diet. Mix Amla powder with water or honey for an effective remedy.
For natural oils, your thoughts are on the right track. Regularly massaging your scalp with warm coconut or almond oil can greatly bolster hair strength and nourishment. You might add a few drops of rosemary or lavender essential oil to boost circulation and lower stress.
Consider using Bhringraj oil; it is an excellent Ayurvedic remedy known traditionally for supporting hair growth and rejuvenation. Gently massage it onto your scalp, leave on overnight, and shampoo in the morning.
Stress management is additionally crucial; practices like Yoga, Pranayama, or meditation could be extremely beneficial. They help in nurturing calmness and balance in life, reducing the Vata and Pitta aggravation that impacts hair health.
For herbs, try using Brahmi and Shatavari; they are great adaptogens that prove to be beneficial in balancing stress levels in the body. These can be consumed as supplements or included in teas for a soothing effect.
Consistency with these natural rituals and adjusting your routine based on these principles would possibly bring back your hairs strength and thickness. Be patient, as it takes time for such practices to manifest changes. Importantly, if the hair fall persists or worsens, do seek medical evaluation to check for underlying conditions needing attention.
