how to get strong hair roots - #39416
I am facing a bit of a crisis with my hair lately. They’ve been thinning out quite a lot, and it’s really stressing me out. Just last month, I started noticing this massive hair fall when I shower, and like, my scalp feels super oily sometimes but then also kind of dry. Weird, right? I read some articles that say it might have to do with my diet – I’ve been eating mostly takeout and junk food coz I'm just too tired to cook after work. Ugh. I’ve tried some shampoo commercials recommend, but no changes at all. A friend suggested I look into Ayurveda, which has got me curious on how to get strong hair roots. I mean, I've always believed in natural remedies being better but not really sure where to start. Can anyone share some tips or remedies on how to get strong hair roots? Like, should I be using oils or special herbs? I heard amla is great but is it enough on its own? I really need my hair back in shape, not just because of looks but I feel like it really affects my confidence, you know? How often should I be doing treatments, and are there any dietary changes you think might help with how to get strong hair roots? I kinda feel lost here, any help would be appreciated!!

To strengthen your hair roots through Ayurveda, addressing both internal and external factors is essential. Given your current diet and lifestyle, it can be impacting the health of your hair. Start by incorporating fresh, balanced meals rich in nutrients. Focus on foods rich in iron and protein such as lentils, beans, spinach, and nuts. Incorporating these into your daily meals supports hair growth and strength. Hydrating adequately can also help regulate the oiliness of your scalp.
For your external care, Ayurvedic oils such as Bhringraj, Amla, and Brahmi are beneficial. A regular scalp massage, perhaps twice a week, with warm Bhringraj oil can nourish the scalp and strengthen hair roots. Amla, the Indian gooseberry, is indeed excellent as it helps in reducing pigmentation and hair thinning. You can consume Amla juice or powder daily, which will nourish your hair from the inside out.
In addition, creating a hair mask with Amla powder mixed with yogurt or simply using freshly made Amla paste on your scalp can do wonders. Apply this mask for around 30 minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water. Practicing this once a week could significantly improve hair texture and strength.
Include herbal supplements such as Ashwagandha, which aids in stress management, thereby preventing additional hair fall due to cortisol imbalance. Along with supplements, maintaining a routine that reduces stress like yoga or meditation can help a lot.
Consistency with these treatments and dietary adjustments is the key to see improvements. Be patient as natural remedies might show results slower than chemical treatments, but they promote long-term health, sustainability of your hair. If you notice any critical issues or conditions persist, it’s wise to visit a healthcare professional or dermatologist to rule out any underlying causes.
