    * Vata: curly, rough, hard hair.
    * Pitta: soft, easy to break, feint black color hair.
    * Kapha: silky, soft & thick hair.

Pitta & Vata dosha are dominant doshas for hair loss.

Causes
Hair loss is considered as aging process. But in nowadays many youngsters face this problem of hair loss and are seeking hair- loss treatment. Then what could be the reason for this?

    I: According to Ayurveda--
      1) Hair loss is related with internal body heat & bones.
      2) Hair is considered as wastage of bones & hair gets nutrition from bone. If there is any change in bone nutrition it affects hair strength. Bones are hard & strong. But ‘heat’ causes decrease in bone’s strength which results in hair loss.
      3) History of diseases like small pox, chicken pox, typhoid etc.
                
   All these causes are related with increase in body heat; which means increase in Pitta & Vata dosha and results in decrease of bone strength & hair loss.    
          
    II: Other factors--
        1) We can also add dandruff & stress in this list. And all other things which are helpful for increasing body heat.
         2) Hair loss also has relation with hormones like estrogen & progesterone & thyroid secretary hormones.  So, we have to check out for proper menstruation & hyper or hypo signs of thyroid secretary hormone.
          3) Hair loss is also a hereditary disease.
 

Pathology
The process of hair loss includes

    * improper diet or history of diseases causes increase in body heat
    * Improper digestion that causes increase in Pitta & Vata dosha
    * improper nutrition for all body organs, though mainly to the bones. Bones are unable to provide nutrition to hair, resulting in hair loss.
