| Estimated Reading Time - 7 minutes |
As per ayurvedic principles, our body shall be in harmony with nature. This applies to all body parts including hair. Like in summer or autumn, trees become lifeless and shed leaves, our hair also feel the brunt of summer and become dry, with rough edges. To nourish lifesless hair, nourishing them with ayurvedic oils for hair is essential.
Our hair can be divided in two parts – the root and the shaft. The root part of hair is in the scalp and the hair shaft is what is visible to us. Root of the hair is in the shape of a bulb and is surrounded by follicles. The new hair cells are formed in the root regularly and these cells push the previous cells up. Cells that move up die and form the hard hair shaft.
While the cuticle decides the shine and appearance of the hair, the cortex determines the bulk and strength of the hair.
Why does hair fall happen - Reasons for hairfall
On an average people lose 50-100 strands of hair per day. This is quite normal because new hair replaces what is lost. At any point in time, approx. 90% of hair on our scalp is in the growing phase. During this phase, they grow by approx. 1 cm/month.
However, if more than normal hair loss happens, it could result in hair thinning or decrease in hair density. While some experience it on a temporary basis during hormonal changes or change of season, for some others, hair fall may last for a longer duration. This could happen due to reasons given below. While it is impossible to identify reasons for Hair fall, this shall send a warning signal to review our dietary habits and lifestyle like oiling hair with natural, ayurvedic oil hairfall control oil or oil for hair growth.

How does “hair straightening” or “hair rebounding” harm the hair?
Hair like any other part of the body has the ability to restore its health naturally. Any artificial and chemical induced treatment is bound to introduce synthetic elements in hair and take it far away from the fundamental Ayurvedic concept – to be in sync with nature. Chemical straightening & perming works by breaking the existing bonds in hair and then re-attaching the broken bond. Strong alkaline solutions (pH of 13+) like Lye, Guanidine hydroxide and Ammonium thioglycolate are applied to hair. These chemical compounds break the disulphide bonds even more effectively as compared to heat.
These hair treatments further damage hair by the monomolecular layer of fatty acids that is bound naturally to your hair cuticle. This fatty acid layer is a water repelling layer. When this layer is removed by chemical straightening and smoothening treatments, your hair becomes dull, frizzy and is more susceptible to static electricity. However, this damage can be treated with natural ayurvedic hair treatments by applying ayurvedic hair oils. Massaging ayurvedic oils for hair growth on a regular basis may treat the damaged hair and bring back its shine. As suggested earlier, use natural ayurvedic oils for hair like Bhringraj Oil, which is also known as the king of hair herbs. Alternatively, coconut oil or even almond oil works wonderfully well for hair.
Why does hair become gray and how can ayurvedic oils for hair prevent premature graying?
Hair color is a factor of melanin and premature graying of hair occurs due to melanin deficiency. Graying of hair is directly proportional to the hair care.
Few common reasons for melanin deficiency, which results in graying of hair are:
- Improper nutrition or food supplement intake
- Not providing additional supplement to hair like Hair Grow Oil or ayurvedic oils for hair or and Hair Serum
- Hereditary or genetic reasons
- Stress
- Excessive intake of fast food and junk food
- Excessive use of cosmetics and chemical products
- Excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking
- Medication reaction
As per Ayurveda, hair is considered as a tissue that uses the same nutrients as that of bones.We must therefore take care of our hair by using ayurvedic oils for hair, just as we take care of our joints and bones by applying pain relief oil.
The hair follicle contains oil secreting glands that make hair shiny. Stress and illness diminish secretion of oil and pigments causing graying of hair.
(Tips: Bhringraj oil is extremely beneficial in maintaining the natural color of hair and prevents premature graying)
