Ayurvedic science works on the concept of doshas. Doshas are the principal energies indicating good health and wealth. There are three kinds of doshas present in the body: Kapha, vata, and pitta. Excess of one or more doshas imbalances the body and takes a toll on the health of your skin, body or hair. One needs to have a healthy balance of kapha, vata, and pitta to attain strong and lustrous locks. Unwanted surplus of any of the energy will make you prone to one or many hair problems, including dryness, hair loss, oily scalp, baldness, or premature greying of hair.
