Understanding Hair Fall Problems

Losing 4–5 strands of hair daily is not considered true hair fall. In fact, shedding 50–100 hairs per day is part of the natural hair growth cycle. Each follicle releases old or damaged strands to make way for new growth.

However, when hair loss exceeds this range and new hair does not regrow, it leads to visible scalp thinning—this is regarded as significant hair fall and can be a cause for concern.

Ayurvedic Perspective

In Ayurveda, Kesha (hair) is considered an Upadhatu (secondary tissue) of Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue). Hair fall is often linked to an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas.
