Dosha Hair Quick Guide

When I first discovered Ayurveda, it felt like a gentle map to better hair days and calmer mornings. Ayurveda doesn’t promise miracle products; it offers deep, nourishing principles tailored to your body-mind type—your dosha. Designing a hair care routine around Vata, Pitta, or Kapha is like giving your scalp and strands exactly what they truly crave.

Creating a Hair Care Routine Based on Your Dosha

Before you start, take a moment to identify your dominant dosha. If you’re not sure, consider easy signs: Vata hair tends to be fine, dry, and frizzy; Pitta hair is often medium, prone to thinning, color changes, or premature gray; Kapha hair is thick, oily, and robust.

◼ Vata: Dry, fragile, frizzy, prone to split ends.

◼ Pitta: Moderate texture, prone to thinning, sensitivity, color changes, and scalp inflammation.

◼ Kapha: Thick, oily, heavy, slower growth or buildup.

💛 VATA

◼ Vata: Dry, fragile, frizzy, prone to split ends.

People with more Vata in their constitutions tend to be thin, with a slender frame and prominent joints, delicate skin that is naturally dry, and dry voluminous hair. They are quick and lively in thought, speech and action, and make friends easily. There is an element of airiness to their step, a quality of lightness in their laughter. Change is usually their second name. They are light sleepers and gravitate towards warm environments. Creativity and enthusiasm are hallmarks of balanced Vata.

If your prakriti or original constitution has more Vata in it, you will exhibit many of the characteristics and qualities of Vata when you are in balance than people who have more Pitta or Kapha in their make-up. And that's natural. But if given time, then the Vata in you has in all likelihood become aggravated or imbalanced, and needs to be brought back into balance. And if a predominantly Kapha or Pitta person starts exhibiting many Vata qualities, that indicates a Vata imbalance in that Kapha or Pitta body type. In both cases, it is then time to follow a Vata-balancing diet and lifestyle to help restore the level of Vata in the physiology to its normal proportion.

People with more Pitta in their constitutions tend to be of medium proportions, with a frame that is that tends towards premature graying or thinning. They are sharp and determined in thought, speech and action. There is an element of purpose to their step, an intensity to their voice. Ambition is usually their second name. They are moderate sleepers and gravitate towards cooler environments. Self-confidence and an entrepreneurial spirit are hallmarks of balanced Pitta.

If your prakriti or original constitution has more Pitta in it, you will exhibit many who have more Vata or Kapha in their make-up. And that's natural.

💙 KAPHA

◼ Kapha: Thick, oily, heavy, slower growth or buildup.

People with more Kapha in their constitutions tend to be of larger proportions, with a robust frame and padded joints, thick smooth skin that may tend towards oiliness, and rich, wavy hair. They are stable and calm in thought, speech and action, and are easy-going and supportive in relationships. There is an element of steadiness to their step, a quality of serenity in their smile. Loyalty is usually their second name. They are long, heavy sleepers and uncomfortable in damp, clammy environments. Calm and sweetness of disposition are hallmarks of balanced Kapha.
