Right from ancient days, hair is considered as one of the biggest beauty asset of a woman. Any woman would love to possess thick healthy hair. But due to their hectic lifestyles these days both men and women suffer from hair loss, dandruff problems and premature graying of hair. As one gets older, the hair loses its natural colour and turns grey. But premature graying is a morose condition wherein even the young appear old due to the color of their hair. This is of much concern to men and women alike. A few herbal and home remedies for hair loss, premature graying and dandruff are mentioned herein:
- Though one has to accept the fact that there is no definite way to prevent hair loss, a little care could prevent further damage and loss of hair. Massaging the scalp for a few minutes every day will increase blood flow to the hair follicles and will prevent hair loss temporarily. In Ayurveda, Aromatherapy is recommended for reducing hair loss. Six drops each of bay and lavender essential oils can be added to four ounces of sesame oil or soybean or almond oil and massaged into the hair roots. It is recommended that one should wait for atleast 20 minutes before washing the hair.
- Herbs like Sage and Rosemary have been proved to be effective in treating hair loss. Rosemary, peach leaf, sage, nettle and burdock should be boiled and strained and the liquid can be used for hair wash on a daily basis. For patients suffering from eczema, psoriasis, seborrhea and dandruff jajaoba oil is recommended. Jajoba oil being hypoallergenic, promotes hair growth and regulates dandruff problems.
- Aloe Vera helps in healing the scalp, balances the PH level of the scalp and cleans the pores. A mixture of Aloe Vera gel with wheat germ oil and coconut milk promotes hair growth and reduces dandruff.
- Amla or the Indian gooseberry is an excellent tonic for premature graying of hair and preventing hair loss. Cut a few Amla fruits into pieces, dry it in shade and boil in coconut oil until the solid matter is well cooked and appears dark in color. This oil when massaged into the scalp every day, is the best medicine for premature graying of hair. Even the water in which a few dried pieces of Amla are soaked over night can be used for rinsing hair. This is very nourishing and helps prevent premature graying. Also massaging Amla juice, mixed with almond oil and few drops of lime juice every night is found to be beneficial in treating premature graying of hair.
- Adding curry leaves to one’s regular diet has proven to be beneficial in treating premature graying of hair, as the curry leaves add strength and vitality to hair. Curry leaves can also be boiled in coconut oil and applied regularly for healthy hair.
- Finally, Henna, the traditional herb found in India is a good hair conditioner and is the best way to healthier hair. Apart from conditioning the hair, it protects against breakage of hair and gives back that natural shine to the hair.

[...] According to Ayurvedic principle, the condition of one’s hair reflects the constitution of the individual. For instance, an individual with Vata constitution will have coarse, dry and dark hair that are prone to dandruff and split ends, while Pitta constitution individuals have light brown hair that is prone to premature greying, and appears silky, while individuals with Kapha constitution have thick, shiny and wavy hair. The health of hair is dependent mainly on two factors; lifestyle and diet. Deficiency of vitamins, illness, poor diet, dandruff etc., will lead to dull hair and hair loss. [...]
[...] An Ayurvedic preparation made of Amla, Corals, Bhringraj and sesame seeds helps in preventing pre-mature greying, apart from increasing hair growth. [...]

In the West this root is known as Shou Wu or FoTi.

Hi,
your dandruff problem is dubai is cause you have possible seborrheic dermatitis.. this is the real cause.. heavy dandruff.. sometimes it’s going together with hairfalling cause the flakes are big.
why you get it there… cause dubai in summer can be really dry and the temperatures are so intense.. inside there is it a lot cooler but still dry cause the airconditoning.. try Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with Selsun Shampo for your dandruff problem and it will go away.
bye

Dandruff is one of the common problem youths are facing these days. I suggest to u all instead of worrying too much about it, just stand up and fight it. Remember the more u worry, the intensity of the problem also increases. Let me suggest you one of the best home remedies for dandruff. Its simple and very effective. Soak methi seeds(fenugreek)overnight in water.The next morning, grind the soaked seeds in a processor to fine paste and apply it to scalp and hair. Leave it on for 2-4 hrs and then wash it with shikakai in lukewarm water. Do not use shampoo. Try it!! Its one of my grandma’s secret.

PLEASE PLEASE TRY NEEM OIL. It will completely CURE DANDRUFF AFTER THREE WEEKS OF REPEATED MASSAGE ON THE SCALP EVERYDAY. I HAVE SUFFERED FOR 15 YEARS AND BECAUSE DANDRUFF IS CAUSED BY FUNGUS, THE FUNGUS ACTUALLY ATE THE PIGMENTATION CELLS OF MY SCALP CAUSING PREMATURE GREY HAIR.
NEEM OIL COMPLETELY ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM. THANK GOD AND THNK AYURVEDA.
I have treated many patients with dandruff only through Ayurvedic medicines. PLease mail me at dr.shridhar7@gmail.com for more details. Only neem oil will not help so much…… it from ur body degenerative process. We have to make ur metabolism right ok…………
Hair loss is treated in Ayurveda with a combination of diet, herbs, oil massage, meditation, aromatherapy, breathing and yoga.

Well, I’m also suffering frm premature gryin’ of hairs. Friends and Family makes fun, but it was ok to me. But Now I’m getting Worried Seriously. These are covering a major part of ma head. Specially ‘above nape’ or you can say back side of ma head.
Earlier it was ok but when like everybody comments like ‘oh!! White Hairs! OLD MAN!’ I’m just like ‘I should shave ma Head!!’
Please suggest what to do besides using indian gooseberry.
It really a great post you have share with us. I find it very useful and informative. Please keep writing such kind of articles in your blog section.
hi!tushar just try blackstrapped molesses.I came to know about it through net and hed seen that it had been succesful in stopping the premature greying of hair of many people using it.I haven’t yet used it but will definetly try(i too have few white hairs in such an early age which is very much embarrasing).Just search about it and ask to your doctor before using it.Taking tensions worsens the situation,so just relax n go for it.
