To address thick hair growth and preventing grey hair, focus on balancing your doshas, nurturing your hair’s health from within, and optimizing your overall lifestyle. At 43, factors like age, genetics, and lifestyle contribute to hair changes, but you can still improve your hair health with an Ayurvedic approach.

Start with your diet, ensuring it’s full of nourishment. Incorporate foods rich in protein, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. Include green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. For dosha balance, consider adding amla (Indian gooseberry) to your diet. It is considered excellent for hair health, enhancing pigmentation and strength. Drink amla juice or take it in powder form daily.

Regular scalp massage is key. Use bhringraj oil or a blend of coconut and sesame oil infused with hibiscus leaves. Massage gently before washing your hair, ideally twice a week. This enhances blood circulation and nourishes hair follicles.

Use herbal hair packs once a week. A paste of amla, brahmi, and haritaki powder mixed with water can be applied to your scalp and hair for an hour before washing. It helps in promoting hair growth and delaying greying.

Pay attention to stress management, which plays a significant role in hair health. Engage in practices like yoga, meditation, or regular exercise to maintain a calm mind and body balance.

For your hennaw, continue using it, as it’s a natural way to cover greys, but ensure it’s pure without chemical additives. Always keep the paste for at least 2 hours on your hair to get deeper color.

Avoid heat styling tools, harsh shampoos, or chemical treatments that can worsen hair issues. Switch to gentle, natural alternatives like shikakai or reetha for cleaning your hair without stripping natural oils.

Lastly, stay hydrated and get enough sleep to keep your body and hair rejuvenated. With consistent application, these practices can support healthier, thicker hair, and may naturally slow greying over time.

For promoting thick hair growth and combating premature graying, you might consider adjustments rooted in your dosha. Ayurvedic principles suggest the imbalance in doshas, particularly pitta, can contribute to early graying. Integrating some of these practices could be beneficial.

First, focus on your diet. Consuming a balanced diet that helps pacify pitta dosha can be useful. Include cooling foods and drinks, like cucumber, melons, cumin, coriander, and fresh green vegetables. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is particularly good due to its high vitamin C content and should be consumed daily. Using Amla powder mixed with water or taken as a supplement can aid both hair growth and color.

Applying herbal oils to the scalp can nourish the hair follicles and support hair thickness. Bhringraj oil or Brahmi oil are excellent choices. Warm the oil slightly before massaging it into your scalp. Allow it to sit for at least an hour or overnight, once or twice a week, before rinsing with a mild shampoo.

Try avoiding excessive heat and stress, as they can worsen pitta imbalance, leading to more gray hair. Practice regular stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or even simple walking. Ensuring adequate hydration and proper sleep are essential too.

Additionally, make a paste from fresh curry leaves mixed with coconut oil and apply it to your hair. Leave it for about 30 minutes before washing it out. This can be done weekly to help bring back natural hair color.

Using henna is a natural way to cover gray, but ensure it’s not overdone as frequent application can cause dryness. Always patch test before new applications. If hair thinning or graying continues rapidly, consulting a professional for further personalized guidance would indeed be advisable.
