Ayurveda: The Knowledge of Life

In Ayurvedic Science, a Dosha is the inherent intelligence of the body that decides the innermost nature of every individual. It is the special blend of qualities that makes each of us unique. The 3 Doshas are: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each individual constitutes a balance of these 3 energies.

ayurveda is for everyone

AfroVeda is for textured hair.

Textured hair has been the afterthought for far too long, although it is the crowning glory of over 65% of the world's population.

AfroVeda was created to bring our natural curls, kinks and coils to the forefront, addressing our specific hair and scalp needs through the plant-powered system of Ayurveda.

DRY HAIR AND SCALP

Vata 💛

Vata is the energy of movement, the subtle energy that governs biological movement.

Vata-type hair is usually dry and prone to tangling and split ends. The scalp may feel dry, itchy, and flaky with visible dandruff. 

Delicate hair and scalp

Pitta ❤

Pitta is translated as fire, but this is not meant literally. Rather, it is the principle of fire, the energy of heating or metabolism.

People with Pitta hair often experience early greying, hair thinning, and hair fall. The hair may be soft and fine, but the scalp can feel hot, red, itchy, and sometimes even show signs of inflammation.

OILY SCALP AND HAIR

Kapha 💙

We all have Kapha in the body – even those of us who have Pitta or Vata body types. Kapha combines water and earth. It is the energy that forms the body's structure, the glue that holds the cells together.

Kapha hair is usually thick, shiny, and wavy with a naturally oily scalp. While the hair looks lush, the scalp can be prone to sticky dandruff due to excess oil. 

FOR ALL

Tridoshic 💚

The goal is to address the root causes of scalp issues by supporting overall doshic balance. Ingredients are selected to be harmonious-not overly drying, heating, or heavy-making them appropriate for all hair and scalp types. It is especially valued for its ability to help keep scalp and hair healthy, balanced and resilient regardless of your unique constitutional type.
