For low porosity hair, it’s important to focus on gentle herbs that improve hydration and nourishment, as low porosity hair struggles with moisture absorption. Brahmi oil is excellent for conditioning, helping with retention of moisture without overburdening the cuticles. Massage your scalp with lukewarm Brahmi oil 2-3 times a week to enhance circulation and nourish hair roots more effectively. Make sure to leave the oil in for at least an hour before washing it off.
For thinning edges and premature graying, Amla (Indian Gooseberry) is highly potent. It rejuvenates hair follicles and provides rich nourishment. Use an Amla hair mask by mixing Amla powder with water, applying to hair and scalp, and leaving it for about 30 minutes before washing. Do this once a week. Drinking Amla juice regularly can also support hair health from within.
To tackle split ends and breakage, ensure you’re incorporating a high-protein diet, rich in lentils, legumes, nuts i.e almonds and seeds. Consider Shikakai hair wash instead of harsh shampoos. Shikakai is a natural cleanser that doesn’t strip hair of natural oils, promoting strength and shine. Create a paste of Shikakai powder with water, applying to damp hair, and gently rinsing after a few minutes.
Consider adding more moisture and softness with Aloe Vera gel. After washing and towel-drying your hair, apply a small amount of Aloe Vera gel to the ends of your hair. This will help with split ends and add moisture.
Incorporate Bhringraj herb in your routine for longer hair growth. You can use Bhringraj oil; massage into your scalp twice a week, leaving it overnight if possible.
Overall, maintain a balanced diet with fresh fruits, vegetables and proper hydration. Avoid excessive heat styling and tight hairstyles that cause stress on your hair follicles, especially on the edges. Regular trims help to minimize split ends and encourage healthy hair growth.

Low porosity hair usually means that the hair cuticle is tightly packed, making it challenging for moisture to penetrate. This condition often corresponds with a vata imbalance, which can lead to dryness, brittleness, and premature graying. To tackle these issues, we need to focus on nourishing the scalp, strengthening the hair, and addressing your overall dosha balance.
Consider using Brahmi oil, it’s renowned for its ability to calm vata and improve hair health. Warm the oil slightly, apply it gently on your scalp, and leave it overnight before washing. Do this twice a week. Moringa oil can also be beneficial for its nourishing qualities, aiding in the moisturization of low-porosity hair. Apply it similarly as Brahmi oil for deep conditioning.
Incorporate herbs like Amla and Bhringraj into your hair care routine. You can create a paste using these powders with water or yogurt, and apply it once a week. Their properties help slow greying and may improve overall hair health.
Your diet plays a crucial role too. Include foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids like walnuts and flaxseeds, to promote healthy hair growth. A warm glass of milk with a pinch of turmeric and ashwagandha powder at night can soothe vata imbalances.
Check for any nutrient deficiencies, particularly iron and biotin, with your healthcare provider. If your hair loss or premature greying is sudden or severe, it’s essential to see a health professional. Regular trims will manage split ends and boost length retention while avoiding overuse of heat styling tools.
Balancing your internal health and using these targeted Ayurvedic remedies will gradually improve the condition of your hair, reducing thinning and enhancing growth.
