7 natural remedies to repair your damaged hair at home
To Grow Thick Hair
Hair thickness varies within individuals. The same person often has thin and thick hair. Open cuticles are more common in thinner hair, according to our research.To increase thick, healthy hair naturally, apply an Ayurvedic hair mask inspired by ancient wisdom.
For Dandruff
Most individuals start with anti-dandruff shampoo, but if your scalp is sensitive, it may not work. Dandruff can result from harsh hair care product chemicals that dry and irritate. So, look for natural dandruff cures. Dandruff treatment with Ayurveda is popular since it is natural and permanent.
For Oily Hair & Scalp
Every pore on the skin produces sebum (oil) for hydration. Oil glands on the skin create sebum for nutrition and moisture. Good hair shine comes from oil. Hair becomes greasy from excessive oil production. In oily skin, greasy hair is more common. Never oil a greasy scalp. Most people think a natural shampoo will fix their condition.
For Dry Hair & Scalp
Because beautiful hair enhances our appearance, we take extra care of it. Everyone desires beautiful, healthy hair. However, dry hair loses shine. Unruly dry, black, curling hair has split ends. It's typical of Vatas.
A healthy cuticle has closely packed layers that retain moisture. The cuticle loses water and oil when its layers peel away from hair.
For Premature Gray Hair
In Ayurveda, hair loss is called ‘khalitya,’ while premature graying is called ‘Palitya.’ Pure painted (‘pitta’) disorders include khalitya and palitya. Pitta-Vata doshas imbalances cause premature greying, called 'Akala Palitya' in Ayurveda. Continuously disturbing ‘pitta’ (body heat) might gray hair.
For Split Ends Hair
Women worry about split ends. Split ends damage hair and look awful. Early split end removal is ideal. If you follow Ayurvedic hair care, you know how important a hair mask is. Herbal remedies for vata dosha strengthen and grow hair thicker and longer. Ancient Ayurvedic medicines used it to strengthen and brighten hair and enhance scalp health.
For Hard-Water-Related Hair Damage
Consider how rough and dry your hair feels after swimming in the ocean and letting it dry naturally. That isn't really how hard water can damage your hair, but minerals in tap water can do the same thing. Since hard water has too many minerals, the minerals stick to the hair when it disappears, making it feel dry.
A more in-depth familiarity with AYURVEDIC HAIR CARE
The first step in finding a solution to your hair issues is to have an understanding of your Ayurveda hair type and the levels of the doshas in your body.
Ayurvedic Body type
Air and Ether are Vata-Dominant
People whose constitutions are dominated by Vata tend to be slim, with a slender frame and prominent joints, delicate naturally dry skin, and dry, volumous hair.
Fire & Water are Pitta-Dominant
People with more Pitta in their constitutions tend to have medium proportions, with a frame that is neither petite nor stout, warm skin that is very pale or ruddy and may be sensitive, and fine hair that tends to gray or thin prematurely.
Earth and Water are Kapha-Dominant
People with a preponderance of Kapha in their constitutions are typically larger in size, with a robust frame and cushioned joints, thick, smooth skin that may be prone to greasiness, and luxurious, wavy hair.
MIDDLE AGE TO ELDERLY
VATA
Ayurvedic theory suggests that as people age, they transition from Kapha (childhood and young adulthood) to pitta (young adulthood to middle age) to Vata (old age) (median age to elderly). Vata imbalances may manifest as hair that becomes drier and thinner as we age, and particularly as we enter the Vata phase of life. Vata-dominant individuals are advised by Ayurvedic medicine to adopt lifestyle habits that seek to balance their three doshas.
What's Your Ayurvedic Hair Type?
VATA-DOMINANT HAIR TYPE
CHARACTERISTICS
In balance, Vata hair is naturally fine and thin and can grow quickly. On the other hand, Imbalances in Vata can bring about low sebum production, causing hair loss, frizziness, and split ends.
SCALP MOISTURE - VATA TYPE
Vata hair type usually has a dry scalp with scaly dandruff as it lacks adequate moisture and sebum in the scalp tissues.
PITTA-DOMINANT HAIR
CHARACTERISTICS
Moderate in thickness, but soft and predictable to manage. Pitta imbalances can lead to early greying of hair, bacterial overload in the follicles, and redness or soreness.
SCALP MOISTURE - PITTA TYPE
Pitta dominant Prakriti, the scalp texture can be greasy and often prone to boils and itchy dandruff.
KAPHA-DOMINANT HAIR
CHARACTERISTICS
Thick, coarse, and wavy or curly. An imbalance in the Kapha energy can cause greasiness due to sebum overproduction. Unpleasant symptoms can include hair fall and an itchy scalp.
SCALP MOISTURE - KAPHA TYPE
You may observe normal scalp texture with adequate moisture levels in a well-balanced Kapha hair type. But, aggravation in Kapha dosha results in an oily scalp with dandruff.
