To provide a personalized plan to reduce hair fall, address damaged hair, and relieve scalp itching, I’d like to understand more about your current hair care routine, diet, lifestyle, and any specific factors that may be contributing to these issues, such as stress, environmental exposure, or use of chemical treatments. Additionally, it would be helpful to know if your scalp is dry or oily and whether you’re experiencing any dandruff or other scalp conditions. To determine the underlying cause, I recommend a few tests: a complete blood count (CBC) and ferritin levels to check for deficiencies, such as iron, which can impact hair health; a thyroid panel, as thyroid imbalances often affect hair quality and growth; and vitamin D and B12 levels, since deficiencies in these vitamins can contribute to hair loss. If you have any recent life changes or medical conditions that could impact your scalp or hair health, please share, as this will help me provide more targeted Ayurvedic guidance.

Ah, hair fall and scalp itching can be so frustrating, right? Let's get into it. First, we got to understand a bit about your doshas. In Ayurveda, hair fall is often linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, and quite possibly a Vata aggravation too which can cause that dryness and irritation you're talking about. Here's a simple approach to begin with. Oils are your best friend. Massaging your scalp with coconut oil or sesame oil, even better infused with herbs like bhringraj or amla, can help relieve that itchy sensation and nourish your scalp. Do this at least twice a week. Just warm the oil a bit before applying — feels amazing! Diet-wise, think about cooling your Pitta. Reach for foods like cucumber, melons, and sweet fruits. Hydration's key too. Lots of water, maybe a squeeze of lemon here and there. You wanna stay away from spicy hot foods and caffeine, they might aggravate things. A little ghee in your diet can also add some healthy fats, which benefit skin and hair, surprisingly effective. For shampooing, don't overdo it, seriously. Twice or thrice a week is plenty. It'd be ideal to use a mild or herbal shampoo, nothing harsh that could strip your hair of its natural goodness. You can even prepare a rinse with shikakai and reetha. You'd just boil them, let it cool, strain and then wash. And breathing! Believe it or not, stress does a number on hair. Some slow, deep breaths throughout your day can be a real game-changer. Pranayama like Anulom Vilom works wonders. If the itching persists intensely or you notice redness, might be worth having it checked for any infection or dandruff which might need more specific treatment. Lastly, be patient with yourself and your hair, it’s a process. Making these small adjustments can have a surprising impact over time. Let me know how it goes!
