According to the ayurvedic system of medicine if you want to keep your hair healthy and strong then you will have to look after them and provide them with regular nourishment so that the problem of hair loss never arises. Just like we regularly look after our skin we should take care of our hair as well and keep them intact for long years.
The best way to keep scalp healthy is through massage. There are scalp massage oils available for different hair types. According to ayurveda you have vata hair if your hair is dry, thin and has split endings. Premature thinning and graying indicates pitta dominant and oily and thick hair indicates kapha.
