Kapha in balance, promotes thick, lustrous, and strong hair.
Kapha, which consists of the elements earth and water, embodies qualities such as heaviness, stability, smoothness, and lubrication. Kapha’s nourishing and grounding qualities contribute to good hair health. Kapha’s natural moisture helps keep the scalp and hair nice and hydrated, which is the key to avoiding dryness and brittleness. The strength and stability of Kapha provides hair with more density, making it look fuller and shinier.
On the flip side, when Vata or Pitta get out of balance, you might start noticing changes, such as dry, brittle hair, an itchy scalp, dandruff, premature graying, or even some hair thinning or loss. Kapha provoking super ingredients that can enhance the beauty of your mane include oats, avocado, and a good intake of protein can help nourish your hair.
But sometimes, we could really use a little extra help.
That’s when a good scalp massage, shiroabhyanga, with hair oil really comes to the rescue.
- Oiling is a simple process where you apply warm oil to your scalp and spread it down to the tips of your hair.
- Do not overheat the oil. Warm it slightly in a glass container sitting in a bowl of warm water. Or just rub your hands together to heat the oil.
The benefits are pretty amazing.
Oils help reduce frizz, and some oils such as olive oil, for instance, are rich in Vitamin E, creating a protective layer that locks in moisture.
