Background: Hair health is a multifaceted aspect of human wellbeing, encompassing various physiological, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Numerous factors, including family history (heredity), hormonal changes during and after pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid disorder, are known to contribute to hair illnesses in contemporary medicine. Owing to the limitations and adverse effects of modern treatment, some hopeful outcomes from Ayurveda are anticipated. According to the Ayurvedic view, disturbance of Trisdosa ( Vata , Pitta , and Kapha ) is the main reason for common hair diseases, i.e. Aakal-Palitya , Khalitya and Darunaka with its curative and preventive methods like Pathya-Apathya, Nasya, Murdha taila, Lepa , etc. Ayurveda has a lot of potential in treating these illnesses.

Discussion: Ayurveda considers hair health as a reflection of overall wellbeing, influenced by the balance of the three doshas ( Vata , Pitta , and Kapha ) and the proper functioning of bodily tissues ( Dhatus ) and metabolic processes ( Agnis ). Daily regimens for hair care encompass a range of practices tailored to individual constitutions and hair types. These may include oil massage ( Abhyanga ) of the scalp and hair with herbal oils, gentle cleansing using natural cleansers, such as herbal powders ( Shikakai, Reetha ), maintaining scalp hygiene, nourishing the scalp, strengthening hair roots, preventing premature greying, treat conditions such as hair loss, dandruff, and scalp infections and following dietary and lifestyle guidelines conducive to hair health.

By restoring doshic balance, optimizing digestion, and nourishing hair follicles with natural remedies, i.e. Daily regimens, wholesome diet, Rasayana , Panchakarma , and Yogic practices, Ayurvedic interventions aim to promote longterm hair vitality and overall wellbeing.
