Hair weakness and excessive hair fall can often be attributed to an imbalance in the Pitta and Vata doshas, which may affect the quality and health of the hair. In Ayurveda, maintaining strong, healthy hair involves nourishing the scalp, managing stress, and providing adequate internal support through diet and lifestyle. Excessive washing, unsuitable oils, or harsh shampoos can aggravate Vata and Pitta, leading to dryness, brittleness, and eventual hair fall.
A gentle, nourishing hair care routine can make a significant difference. Replace coconut oil with Bhringraj oil or Amla oil, both of which are highly recommended for strengthening hair roots, preventing hair fall, and promoting hair growth. Warm the oil slightly and apply it to the scalp with a gentle massage to increase blood circulation without causing stress to the hair roots. Avoid frequent hair washing, as this can strip away natural oils and weaken the hair further. Use a mild herbal shampoo, preferably with ingredients like Reetha and Shikakai, which are gentle and help cleanse without over-drying.
Internally, a diet rich in essential nutrients is crucial for strong hair. Include foods high in calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin B, like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Herbs like Amla (Indian gooseberry) and Ashwagandha can be consumed to strengthen hair from within, balance Pitta, and promote overall vitality. Amla can be taken as juice or powder daily to provide a rich source of vitamin C, which supports hair health.
To balance stress, which is a significant factor in hair fall, try practicing relaxation techniques like Pranayama and meditation daily. Following these Ayurvedic recommendations can gradually restore the hair’s strength, reduce hair fall, and promote healthier growth.

Hair fall can be quite frustrating, can't it? It sounds like you're dealing with pretty weak hair. There's quite a few things from an Ayurvedic perspective that could be going on, like maybe your doshas could be out of balance. Sometimes it’s Pitta dosha acting up—too much heat, or maybe it’s Vata, leading to dryness and brittleness.
First thing to check is your diet. Are you getting enough protein and healthy fats? Things like nuts, seeds, and ghee can be really healing and nourishing for hair. You might want to try incorporating those if you haven't already.
Also, how’s your sleep? Often stress and inadequate sleep can significantly weaken hair. Maybe look into incorporating some daily meditation or light yoga to kinda ease the mind and body—find some balance and calmness. Try not to rub your head too hard when washing or massaging, as this can sometimes strain the hair too, leading to breakage.
In Ayurveda, hair health is linked to the health of the bones (asthi dhatu), so nourishing that tissue is important too. You could also try Brahmi oil for massages, it's calming and strengthens the hair roots. Warm the oil slightly before use.
Another thing, have you tried amla? It’s loaded with vitamin C and really great for strengthening hair. You can take it as a supplement, look for powdered amla if you want to add it to your food or drink.
Oh, and avoid exposing your hair to high heat, like hot showers or blowing hair dry on high heat, intense heat can be damaging too. Also, ensure your shampoo isn’t too harsh on the scalp, maybe a mild herbal shampoo could be a better choice.
Just remember, these changes take some time; hair health doesn't usually transform overnight. Stick with the nurturing practices, and over time, you should start to see improvement. Good luck and be patient with your hair; it's all about building healthy habits!
