Ayurvedic Treatment for Trichonodosis / Trichorrhexis Nodosa

TRICHONODOSIS: OVERVIEW

Trichonodosis (also called Trichorrhexis nodosa) is a common hair shaft defect. The condition is typically characterized by knotted hair on the distal portion of the hair shaft, and results in the thickenings or weak points (nodes) due to the hair break off easily. This condition can lead to hair loss, damaged-looking hair, and lack of hair growth.

Trichonodosis is basically a ‘focal defect in the hair fiber.’ It results from the absence of the cuticle which encloses the hair cortex in a strong layer.

The absence of the cuticle directly exposes the hair cortex to the physical and chemical factors in the environment, and triggers the breaking down of the chemical bonds which are responsible for maintaining the hair structure; thereby making the hair weak. The weakening of the hair means that it can split and fray into minute strands at the point of the breakdown of the cuticle.

Overall, in Trichonodosis, the focal disruption of the hair fiber is a main spot for the breakage of the hair shaft. The defective nodes in the hair break easily because of vigorous combing or brushing.

Trichonodosis can possibly be caused by genetic factors, although it is believed that environmental factors play a big role in aggravating the condition. The environmental factors which are considered to be directly related to Trichonodosis include aggressive brushing of the hair, excessive exposure to chemicals, and ‘perming’ or blow-drying of the hair.

SYMPTOMS OF TRICHONODOSIS

Some of the most common symptoms of Trichonodosis (or Trichorrhexis nodosa) are:

  • Long, kinky scalp hair
  • Lack of hair growth
  • Abnormal/patchy growth of hair on the scalp and body
  • Tangling and knotting of hair
  • Easy breakage of hair close to the scalp
  • Easy breakage of hair at the tips
  • Thickenings or nodes in the hair shaft
  • Splitting or thinning of hair at the ends
