Hair Loss in Winter

Does the floor of your bedroom resemble that of a salon? Are you horrified every time you comb your hair since the majority of it appears to be in your hand instead of on your head?! Don't worry if you are. 
 
Every single individual, even an animal, endures some level of hair loss on a daily basis. The question is how much hair is lost. It's said that a hundred strands per day are normal! So, when you have more hair loss than that, you have a problem. Or when there isn't any hair growth to compensate. 
 
Many adults nowadays are beginning to show signs of early greying and hair loss. This can be humiliating and upsetting. So, what are your options? For your hair loss concerns, Ayurveda may be a viable option. 

Causes of Hair Loss 

• Nutritional deficiencies 
• Late nights and long hours — erratic and irregular lifestyle 
• Pollution and climate change are two examples of environmental factors.  
• Inadequate sleep or rest, as well as stress, anxiety, and tension 
• Excess toxin build-up in the body can be caused by several circumstances. 

What is the Basis for Ayurvedic Hair Fall Treatment?  

According to Ayurveda, the texture of your hair is determined by the imbalances in your constitution. To come up with a solution, you must first understand your Prakriti and the balances/imbalances in your constitution. As an example, your hair is prone to being overly dry, frizzy, and brittle if you have an imbalance in Vata dosha symptoms. Vata hair is dry and brittle by nature.  
 
If you have a Pitta dosha imbalance, you will most likely have receded hairlines and a thinning texture in your hair. Colour changes occur as a result of the heat in the scalp. If your hair isn't naturally brown, it can take on a brownish tinge or tone. This can cause hair to be grey and balding. Pitta's hair is thin and brown in colour. 
 
You're more prone to have overly oily and sticky hair if you have a Kapha dosha imbalance. This can cause clogs in your scalp's follicles. This causes hair to fall out. The hair on a normal Kapha is dense. There is a need to remove toxins from your system in any condition, whether you know what caused it or not. As a result, detoxification is critical.
