Causes of Hair Issues
Numerous factors contribute to hair problems, such as:

- Environmental Factors: External factors such as pollution and harsh weather conditions can damage hair.
- Stress and Anxiety: Emotional strain can lead to hair fall, thinning, and other related issues.
- Sleep Deprivation: Lack of proper sleep can disrupt the body’s natural healing processes, affecting hair growth.
- Genetic Predisposition: Hereditary factors play a role in determining hair health and growth patterns.
- Dosha Imbalance: According to Ayurveda, imbalances in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas can affect hair quality.
Effective Remedies
Addressing these concerns requires a holistic approach to ensure healthy hair growth and minimize issues:
- Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Prioritize stress management, adequate sleep, and a balanced routine to support overall well-being.
