Ayurveda look your hair from the point of view of the TriDoshas . Depending on which Dosha is dominant, hair is classified as:
Vata type hair: This hair type is thin, coarse, and difficult to manage. It is prone to becoming brittle and can fall off easily.
Pitta type hair: This type of hair is soft and moderately thick. This type of hair can become thin causing baldness. Premature greying is a common problem.
Kapha hair: This type of hair is oily, lustrous, and thick. The excess oil may cause heaviness in the hair.
Depending on the hair type, Ayurvedic medicines are used to balance the Dhoshas . The oil used helps promote hair growth and ensures the scalp is nourished. Apart from the use of hair oils, Ayurveda recommends following a diet that balances Dosha. It also advised reducing stress levels through breathing exercises, Yoga, or meditation. This is important since stress can affect the dhosha balance.
Types of Hair and Their Concerns
Haircare is one of the most sought after regimens in holistic wellness, but what one often neglects is the fact that different hair types have different needs. If treatment is unsuitable, it can aggravate rather than soothe hair concerns. Ayurveda gives us a directory that categorizes hair types into three basic categories, based on a dominant dosha, which dictates hair type and subsequent concerns arising from an imbalance. Once we identify with a particular hair type, it becomes easier to understand the obstacles to our healthy hair journey. We feel better prepared to combat them with unique solutions.
Vata Hair
The Vata dosha consists of the elements of air and space and is associated with coldness, lightness and movement, and dryness. These very properties are seen in the hair type with a dominant Vata dosha, which is usually wavy and thin. Moisture levels are often low for the scalp due to the dry nature of Vata, which causes dandruff and itchiness, leaving the hair brittle, frizzy and lacklustre. In addition, the scalp is vulnerable to harmful substances owing to a high porosity, which readily absorbs toxic chemicals from products. Hair fall is a common problem in Vata hair when left unbalanced or undernourished. Split ends, and rapid thinning often accompany this.
Pitta Hair
Hair with a dominant Pitta dosha is characterized by medium density, thickness, and strength. They are straight and not as brittle as Vata hair, and their lower porosity makes the scalp less susceptible to damage through the absorption of harmful toxins. However, the warm nature of Pitta causes an overheating of hair follicles, which can make the scalp oily and lead to boils and dandruff. An overactive Pitta can lead to hair thinning, and premature greying is a common symptom.
Kapha Hair
Kapha dosha consists of earth and water components characterized by heaviness and coolness, with a sleek and smooth nature. True to form, Kapha hair is lustrous in texture, as both the hair and scalp are well moisturised. These hairs are usually strong, coarse, and curly. They have the lowest porosity, which means very little scope for toxins to make their way into the scalp. But when the Kapha dosha is aggravated, excessive oil secretion leads to a blockage in follicles and clogged pores. This makes the scalp greasy and sticky, accompanied by dandruff.
These hair types have varied concerns related to the concentration of each specific dosha, thus requiring special and unique treatment. Ayurveda seeks to solve these in the same breath as it explains the root of these hair concerns.
