Understand your natural constitution and what your body truly needs.
In Ayurveda, every individual carries a unique combination of three natural energies — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These subtle forces influence your skin, hair, digestion, sleep patterns, emotional responses, and overall vitality.
When your dominant dosha is supported, balance feels natural.
When it becomes aggravated, small signs begin to appear — dryness, sensitivity, excess oiliness, premature greying, or increased shedding.
Understanding your constitution is not about labeling yourself.
It is about aligning your rituals with your true nature.
The Three Doshas Explained
Vata
Energy of movement and lightness
Vata governs circulation, breath, and nervous system activity.
When balanced, it brings creativity and vitality.
When elevated, it may express as dryness, brittleness, irregular routines, or restlessness.
Common tendencies:
• Dry scalp
• Frizzy or fragile hair
• Light sleep
• Sensitivity to cold weather
Vata thrives on warmth, nourishment, and consistency.
Pitta
Energy of heat and transformation
Pitta governs metabolism, focus, and intensity.
When balanced, it supports clarity and strength.
When elevated, it may show as scalp sensitivity, inflammation, early greying, or excess heat.
Common tendencies:
• Warm or reactive scalp
• Acne or redness
• Strong appetite
• Sensitivity to hot climates
Pitta thrives on cooling, calming, and moderation.
Kapha
Energy of structure and stability
Kapha governs strength, resilience, and immunity.
When balanced, it creates dense, strong hair and steady energy.
When elevated, it may show as heaviness, oiliness, buildup, or sluggish growth.
Common tendencies:
• Thick or oily scalp
• Product accumulation
• Water retention
• Sensitivity to damp climates
Kapha thrives on lightness, stimulation, and movement.
Signs Your Dosha May Be Imbalanced
Imbalance is not a flaw. It is simply a signal.
You may notice:
• Persistent dryness or breakage (often Vata-related)
• Premature greying or scalp heat (often Pitta-related)
• Hair fall with heaviness or buildup (often Kapha-related)
• Concerns that worsen with season changes
• Fluctuating results from products
When you understand the underlying energy, you respond earlier and more gently.
Seasonal Influence
Your dosha is also influenced by climate and time of year.
Dry, cold seasons may elevate Vata.
Intense summer heat may aggravate Pitta.
Cool, damp weather may increase Kapha.
The oil that feels nourishing in winter may feel too heavy in summer.
The ritual that works one season may require adjustment in another.
Ayurveda encourages seasonal awareness — not rigid routines.
Why Knowing Your Dosha Matters
One oil does not suit everyone.
One routine cannot solve every concern.
When your ritual aligns with your constitution:
• Hair feels stronger and more resilient
• Scalp balance improves naturally
• Seasonal fluctuations become manageable
• Care becomes preventive rather than reactive
This is the difference between trend-based beauty and personalised wellness.
