What is the basis of hair treatment in Ayurveda?
Every treatment in Ayurveda depends on your Prakriti and doshas which are imbalanced. Your hair texture represents which dosha is imbalanced.
For instance, if your hair is too brittle, frizzy and dry then this represents that Vata dosha is imbalanced. On the other hand, if pitta dosha is imbalanced then your hair may change colour from black to brown or grey. You may also notice baldness. And if there is an imbalance in Kapha dosha then the hair may become too greasy or oily.
Toxins present in our body imbalances doshas and these vitiated doshas lead to hair fall.
