Hair-loss to an extent is a natural process. Like dead cells and skin, hair too has to fall only to give way to newer cells, skin and hair. In the case of hair, its falling in the natural order is expected and nothing to be concerned about. Problem arises when the quantum of loss becomes substantial & if no new hair growth happens.
Reasons for the same have to be found fast as it may point to other and more fatal conditions. Hair, its production, maintenance, fall and re-growth are all, as per Ayurveda, governed by the Doshas which are Vaata, Pitta and Kapha. Hair roots are to be found on the underside of the skin. It is here that with time they grow, thicken, gather numbers and fall only to grow and continue the Cycle
When Pitta dosha is well under control, the hair color remains radiant- despite one's age! Where Vata dosha is predominant, hair is said to be excessively dry. Dryness on its part brings excessive splitting and breakage of hair.
It's thus important to know even the smallest of details of one's health and body conditions so as to give the best of advices which results in taking care of all the underlying conditions and bring about abundant hair growth. Based upon a close and correct diagnosis of one's condition, Ayurveda comes up with a complete lifestyle change which includes as its elements, the use of a variety of packs, oils, lotions and treatments.
In Ayurveda, the line of treatment depends upon the person's individual condition and constitution (prakruti). There is no one standard treatment for all conditions. Hair examination is carried out which tells us of the underlying medical condition of an individual and the line of treatment which ought to be followed. Issues like how much a person sweats too can give an indication of a person's hair-growth and condition.
The issue here is NOT about simply treating hair-growth. If done without understanding the underlying conditions, the treatment can have very limited effects with the symptoms recurring after sometime. It is thus important to understand what the body lacks and treat it accordingly. Hair-fall, as a symptom then have a higher chance of getting cured completely.
