Our hair is no different and gets affected by this dirt, pollution and excessive use of styling products.

Vatta, Pitta and Kapha, when balanced properly, result in our overall great health. Hair thinning and split ends represent the aggregation of Vata dosha. If you have dandruff and oily scalp, it might be a Pitta dosha imbalance. If someone’s hair is turning heavy and greasy and also causes an itchy scalp, it is due to blocked blood supply in hair follicles and Kapha imbalance.
