According to the Philosophy of Ayurveda, the three vital energies Vata, Pitta and Kapha regulates the activities and structure of our skin and hair. Each individual is a combination of these tri-doshas in different parity. This also determines our skin and hair type and their health.

What are the reasons for dandruff?

In Ayurveda, dandruff is a result of an imbalance in doshas. When pitta and vata doshas are aggravated, they tend to produce dry and flaky dandruff and when there is an imbalance in the kapha and vata doshas they tend to generate wet and oily dandruff. Dandruff may be caused due to several conditions, including: Irritated, Oily Skin, Dry Skin. Also by a yeast like fungus (malassezia) that feeds on oils on the scalps of most adults.

Ayurvedic Rituals to prevent and protect dandruff from the Scalp and Hair:

·        Scalp massage: Regularly massage your scalp using Ayurvedic oils this stimulates blood circulation to the hair follicles, nourishes the scalp, and promotes hair growth.

·        Hair and scalp cleansing and exfoliation: Gently exfoliate your scalp to remove any buildup of dead skin cells and product residues with natural cleansers made from ingredients like amla powder, fenugreek powder, reetha, natural oils to gently massage your hair and scalp and cleanse them regularly.

·        Avoid harsh chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemical hair products, such as dyes, bleaches, and styling products that contain sulfates and parabens. These can further damage the hair and contribute to thinning.

·        Avoid heat styling: Limit the use of heat styling tools like curling irons, straighteners, and blow dryers. Excessive heat can weaken the hair shaft and lead to further thinning.

·        Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and scalp hydrated. Hydration helps maintain the natural moisture balance of the scalp.

Use herbal products to rinse your hair by boiling water with ingredients like rosemary, kalonji, basil, neem leaves, or tea tree oil. Use this rinse as a final rinse after washing/cleansing your hairs to promote a healthy scalp and prevent dandruff.

Although dandruff itself does not cause hair loss or thinning, but due to severe dandruff a person may tend to scratch their scalp so hard that they injure it. Repeated inflammation in the hair follicles can cause damage and scarring, slowing or stopping hair growth. This can cause weak or thinning hair and may result in loss of hair.
