Hair Thinning
Our hair’s condition plays an imperative role in our physical appearance and the quality, colour and type of our hair defines our gender, health, age and social status. Unless you’re lucky to have been bestowed with the gift of picture-perfect hair, most people have had to struggle with a hair concern or two: things like hair thinning and hair loss are way more common than you think.
Read MoreWhat is hair thinning and what causes it?
The frequency at which hair grows varies for different people and on average, it grows around one and a half inches per month. According to studies, we shed about 50-100 strands of hair per day and more shedding could overall lead to hair thinning. Also, an excessive or imbalanced Vata dosha can hamper the flow of essential nutrients from the food to the hair cells, and due to lack of nourishment, the scalp then experiences excessive dryness and the hair tends to become thin and fall more often.
How to stop hair thinning?
But fret not as we have a solution to tackle thinning hair. Incorporating hair products that are infused with potent extracts of naturally-sourced plants, fruits and flowers — like a head massage oil, a shampoo, a conditioner and a hair spray — into your daily hair care routine can help protect and nurture distressed tresses in the best and safest way possible.
Forest Essentials’ natural and 100% Ayurvedic hair care products are infused with the ancient science of Ayurveda along with efficacious, cult formulas to provide you with modern and easy-to-use hair thinning products to eliminate this concern.
Our hair thinning products
The first and foremost step in a hair care routine is oiling as it provides intense nourishment to the hair roots. When the hair is damaged by environmental stressors (when it’s stripped of its natural water and moisture levels), it becomes overly porous so regular oiling helps to strengthen the hair follicles and its roots, thereby preventing hair thinning. The Forest Essentials Ayurvedic Herb Enriched Head Massage Oil Bhringraj is the best hair thinning treatment as it is skilfully prepared using a decoction of superior herbs, plant extracts and an ancient Vedic recipe that includes a Black Sesame and Virgin Coconut Oil-mix, with the infusion of Goat’s Milk that help arrest hair loss, promote the re-growth of healthy hair and lend volume to it from the root to the tips.
Cleansing, the next step to a good hair care routine, should be inculcated as a healthy practice because doing it regularly removes the scalp’s excess oil residue and dead skin cells. Our sulphate-free Hair Cleanser Bhringraj & Shikakai is the perfect Ayurvedic shampoo for thinning hair as it contains a rich amount of nutrients, vitamins and plant-based extracts that help control thinning hair and breakage, and promote healthy re-growth. Bhringraj, also known as ‘food for the hair’ in Ayurvedic tenets, also helps in premature greying.
Post cleansing, the usage of a conditioner is imperative to curb hair thinning as it contains rich humectants (moisture-attracting magnets) and oils that provide intense nourishment to your hair whilst volumising it. Our Hair Conditioner Bhringraj & Shikakai — enriched with Coconut Milk, Liquorice, Sweet Almond Oil, Bhringraj and Shikakai extracts — helps intensely nourish and repair the hair while also improving its overall texture and lending it a natural shine, bounce and fragrance.
Finally, to finish off, we recommend using our paraben-free Hair Thickening Spray Bhringraj & Shikakai as it is designed to stimulate hair growth and improve the density of the hair. It’s a softening hair serum with a silken-smooth consistency and is infused with effective Ayurvedic herbal extracts of Bhringraj and Shikakai, that strengthen the hair follicles, prevent hair loss and encourage hair growth. Wheat protein gives shine and restores volume of the hair.
Ayurveda advocates the usage of natural ingredients like plants, fruits, flowers, and their herbal extracts as they impart nutrition to the hair whilst also balancing and purifying it. At Forest Essentials, we’ve combined the healing, beneficial properties of these ingredients, which have been tried and tested for over 5,000 years, to provide you with the perfect hair thinning products.
FAQs
How to regrow thinning hair?
Though there is no magical solution to regrow hair, incorporating a good hair care routine — involving the use of an oil, a shampoo and a conditioner — can lead to improved results.
Does dry scalp cause hair loss?
No, dry scalp (itself) doesn’t cause hair loss. However, people suffering from a severe dry scalp tend to scratch it aggressively and injure it. Repeated inflammation in the hair follicles can lead to damage and scarring – impeding hair growth. This can cause the tresses to weaken.
How to prevent hair thinning?
To prevent thinning hair we recommend the following steps:
- Wash and condition hair regularly but not too frequently.
- Always use an SLS/SLES-free shampoo and conditioner.
- Follow with a hair thickening spray or a revitalizing serum.
- Avoid using hot water and excessive hair styling products.
