Know a days, hair problems has become common problem for almost everyone from younger to old age people, problems includes falling of hairs, dandruff, hair thinning, dry and brittle hair, premature greying of hair etc, According to traditional science, The development of the head and hair depends largely on the state of the Kidneys and Liver. The Kidneys are responsible for bone strength and development, which determines the structure of the head, and they govern the Marrow, which determines the normal development of the brain. Both Kidneys and Liver influence the growth of hair and therefore its normal growth, color and consistency depend on the Liver and Kidneys.
Liver and Kidney fire: The term “falling out” refers to a gradual loss of hair, or to its slow growth, or to excessively thin hair. The growth and the thickness of the hair depend largely on the state of the Liver and Kidneys and specifically on Liver-Blood and Kidney-Essence. Blood and Essence are yin element they are very much essential to cool the body. When Liver blood deficiency occurs there rises a Liver heat/fire or vice versa, similarly if kidney-Essence become deficient there rises a kidney heat/fire or vice versa. The nature of heat or fire is upward momentum and fire can change shape of any object. So, liver or kidney heat rises up to the head and causes the hair to fall out by drying out the hair follicles.

People who suffer from hair fall, they may also suffer from acidity, chest burning, thyroid issues (especially hyperthyroid), eye burning and headache. The reason is because upward momentum of liver or kidney fire creates burning sensation along the path.
Loss of hair frequently occurs after a serious disease that is either acute or chronic and lingering. Of course there may also be external causes of hair loss and an example of these is the loss occurring after a course of chemotherapy.
In some cases, baldness can occur in young people. If a young person shows no sign of Liver and/or Kidney deficiency and has a strong body, this means that the baldness is a hereditary trait and has no clinical significance.

People with more Pitta (Liver fire) predominant are more prone to hair fall, baldness, hair thinning, split hair etc.
The most common cause of premature greying of the hair is also because of deficiency of Liver-Blood and/or Kidney-Essence which fail to nourish the hair properly; another cause is a general Qi and Blood deficiency. The most common cause of dandruff is also due to deficient Liver-Blood and fails to nourish the scalp.
Premature greying of the hair in a young person who has a strong body and is in good health is purely hereditary and has no clinical significance.
