Causes of Hair Loss
Understanding the underlying cause of hair loss is essential for effective treatment. Hair fall can result from various factors affecting hair follicles, scalp health, and overall body balance:
Hormonal Imbalances
- Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness): Genetic sensitivity to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) causing progressive hair thinning in men and women
- Thyroid Disorders: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism disrupt hair growth cycles
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): Hormonal imbalance in women causing hair thinning and excess body hair
- Postpartum Hair Loss: Hormonal changes after pregnancy leading to temporary shedding
- Menopause: Declining estrogen levels affecting hair thickness and growth
Nutritional Deficiencies
- Iron Deficiency: Low ferritin levels causing diffuse hair thinning
- Vitamin D Deficiency: Essential for hair follicle cycling
- Protein Deficiency: Hair is made of keratin protein; inadequate intake affects growth
- B Vitamins (Biotin, B12): Critical for hair health and growth
- Zinc Deficiency: Affects hair tissue growth and repair
- Essential Fatty Acids: Omega-3 deficiency causing dry, brittle hair
Medical Conditions
- Alopecia Areata: Autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss
- Telogen Effluvium: Temporary hair shedding due to stress, illness, or surgery
- Scalp Infections: Fungal infections (ringworm) or bacterial conditions
- Diabetes: Poor circulation affecting hair follicles
- Anemia: Reduced oxygen supply to hair follicles
- Lupus: Autoimmune disease affecting hair growth
Lifestyle and Environmental Factors
- Chronic Stress: Elevated cortisol levels pushing hair into shedding phase
- Poor Sleep: Inadequate rest affecting hair regeneration
- Smoking: Reduced blood flow to scalp and hair follicles
- Excessive Alcohol: Depletes nutrients essential for hair health
- Pollution: Environmental toxins damaging hair and scalp
- Hard Water: Mineral buildup weakening hair strands
Hair Care Practices
- Chemical Treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or straightening damaging hair
- Heat Styling: Excessive use of blow dryers, straighteners, curling irons
- Tight Hairstyles: Ponytails, braids, or buns causing traction alopecia
- Harsh Products: Sulfate-containing shampoos stripping natural oils
- Over-washing or Under-washing: Imbalanced scalp hygiene
Medications
- Blood thinners (anticoagulants)
- Antidepressants
- Blood pressure medications
- Chemotherapy drugs
- Retinoids for acne treatment
- Birth control pills (in some cases)
Ayurvedic Perspective
According to Ayurveda, hair loss (Khalitya) occurs due to dosha imbalances:
- Pitta Imbalance: Excess heat in body causing premature hair loss and graying
- Vata Imbalance: Dryness leading to brittle, breaking hair
- Kapha Imbalance: Oily scalp, dandruff affecting hair roots
- Poor Digestion (Agni): Incomplete digestion creating toxins (Ama) affecting hair nutrition

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Ayurveda can effectively stop hair fall and promote regrowth when the underlying cause is addressed. For nutritional deficiencies, stress-related hair loss, or dosha imbalances, Ayurvedic treatment produces lasting results. However, genetic pattern baldness requires ongoing management. Our herbal treatments strengthen hair follicles, improve scalp health, and balance body systems for sustainable hair growth. Most patients achieve significant improvement within 3-6 months with consistent treatment and lifestyle modifications.
Success rates vary by cause and severity. For telogen effluvium (stress/illness-related shedding), success rate is 90-95% with full recovery. Nutritional deficiency-related hair loss responds excellently with 85-90% success. Pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) shows 60-70% improvement in hair density with combined Ayurvedic and modern treatments. Autoimmune hair loss has variable response (50-70%). Early intervention significantly improves outcomes. Our personalized approach maximizes success rates for each individual case.
Timeline varies by treatment and condition severity. Most patients notice reduced hair fall within 3-4 weeks. New hair growth typically begins appearing at 2-3 months as hair has a natural growth cycle. Significant improvement in hair density becomes visible at 4-6 months. For optimal results, continue treatment for at least 6-12 months. Hair grows approximately 1/2 inch per month, so patience is essential. Early-stage hair loss responds faster than advanced cases. Consistent adherence to treatment protocols is crucial for success.
Hair regrowth on completely bald areas depends on follicle status. If hair follicles are dormant but not dead (recent hair loss), regrowth is possible with intensive treatment. However, if follicles are scarred or dead (complete baldness for several years), regrowth is unlikely without hair transplantation. Early intervention is crucial. Areas with fine, miniaturized hair respond well to treatment. We assess follicle viability during consultation to provide realistic expectations. Even partial regrowth and improved density can significantly enhance appearance.
Ayurvedic treatments have minimal side effects when properly prescribed. Herbal formulations are natural and safe with rare allergic reactions. Modern treatments like Minoxidil may cause scalp irritation or initial shedding (temporary). Finasteride (for men) can have sexual side effects in small percentage of users. PRP therapy is very safe using your own blood. We carefully monitor all treatments and adjust protocols if any issues arise. Most patients tolerate treatments well with no significant side effects. Benefits far outweigh minimal risks.
