Ayurvedic Hair Care - A Complete Guide on Doshas and Hair Treatment

The ancient Indian system of medicine, i.e., Ayurveda, has always connected the root cause of most problems to the imbalance of the three doshas. The three doshas, which are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, must be balanced to achieve good health and overall well-being. Even hair health is connected to these doshas. Ayurvedic hair care emphasizes the use of hair oil in all hair care routines. According to Ayurveda, hair loss, thinning, and premature greying occur due to an imbalance of these doshas. Thus, to encourage healthy hair growth, you must learn how to balance these doshas and accordingly adapt an Ayurvedic hair care routine.

Ayurvedic Hair Care Routine According to Doshas

Vata Dosha and Hair Care

Vata dosha is associated with dryness, roughness, and brittleness. Hair damaged due to Vata dosha imbalance tends to be dry and frizzy and is prone to split ends. To balance this dosha and nourish your hair, it is crucial to follow an Ayurvedic hair care routine full of moisturizing herbs.

Herbs like Bhringraj, Amla, Brahmi, and Hibiscus are some of the best herbs that help in nourishing hair affected by Vata dosha imbalance. This is because these herbs help to stimulate hair growth, nourish hair follicles, and promote hair health.

Blue Nectar’s Briganantadi Hair Fall Control Oil and Bhringraj and Amla Hair Repair and Treatment Oil are some of the best products to be included in hair care routines for Vata dosha imbalance.

Pitta Dosha and Hair Care

Pitta dosha is associated with heat and inflammation. Hair affected due to Pitta dosha imbalance tends to be thin and is prone to premature greying and hair loss. To nourish hair affected by Pitta dosha imbalance, an Ayurvedic hair care routine full of cooling and soothing herbs should be adopted.

Herbs like Brahmi, Aloe Vera, and Bhringraj prove to be quite beneficial for people with Pitta-affected hair.

Blue Nectar’s Bhringraj Hair Repair and Treatment Oil is such a product through which you can witness a noticeable difference in hair loss and thinning.

Kapha Dosha and Hair Care

Kapha dosha is associated with oiliness and heaviness. Hair affected by Kapha dosha imbalance tends to be thick, oily, and prone to dandruff and scalp infections. To balance this dosha and nourish your hair, your Ayurvedic hair care routine should include cleansing and invigorating herbs.

Ayurvedic herbs best for treating hair affected by Kapha dosha include Neem, Shikakai, and Lemon. These herbs help to cleanse the scalp and unclog hair follicles, thus promoting healthy hair growth.

Blue Nectar’s Shikakai Scalp Repair and Treatment Oil is a product many people swear by for treating hair affected by Kapha dosha imbalance.
