Hair is, in many ways, like a second thumbprint; no two heads of hair are the same. If you have curly hair and you try talking to your straight-haired friend about your frizz problem then you might as well be on different planets. Point is, your hair has unique needs that should be treated with uniquely-tailored products, not generic, factory-made shampoos. The difficulty lies in knowing which products are right for you. And while there is no better way of knowing than simply experimenting with the products, many people find that they naturally gravitate toward those that align with their zodiac element. Similar to our five-element shampoos, our
god/goddess elixir series is formulated around different elements--Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. To know which elements best suits you, take a look at the zodiac calendar:
Air is the most flighty of all the elements. Like wind rushing through a valley, the air element is unpredictable and always on the go; it is adventurous and seeks to fill every corner of the world. Air people are very advanced in their thinking, which leads others to claim that they are out of touch with reality, floating in the upper reaches of the atmosphere.
Fire people live with a spark in their heart. They can ignite at a moment's notice but when managed properly can produce wondrous things. Fire is very emotional, but with that emotion comes passion and drive. Fire people also have a strong sense of self and will burn brightly for the enjoyment (or annoyance) of others.
Water is cool, dark, and mysterious. Water is fluid and can intuitively adapt to the emotional climate of any situation. It is the essential component of all life, meaning it holds together all living things. Many find that they connect well with water people. They are empathetic and caring, which also means they are fragile and easily wounded.
Earth is the most tangible of all the elements. It is composed, solid, and stable. You can trust earth people to stick to their commitments and moral code. Earth people are resistant to change and often adhere to the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality. They can, however, be very materialistic or possessive. Earth people are practical problem solvers, but they take things at surface value, often not understanding the complexity of a situation.
Finding your element (or elements) is the first step in the hair restoration process. For tips on how to get the most of your god/goddess elixir, check out Anthony's video below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeQZUy-6Wys&list=UUt2XZvvkoORRTLqc1CuzVdA&feature=share&index=2
We end our tour of the Ayurvedic doshas with Vata, the final ingredient in the dosha trinity. Vata is most commonly represented by the Air and Ether elements. Unlike the other doshas, which share the elemental property of water, Vata does not share any elemental properties with the other doshas, making it the most unique of the three. Vata governs movement in the body, meaning that it controls both the nervous system to the digestive system. It also controls breathing and the firing of nerve impulses in the brain. As you'd expect, people with a predominance of Vata are always in motion. They tend to be lively, creative, and enthusiastic. When balanced, Vatas are lively conversationalists and are usually the first in any group to take the initiative. They are quick to learn, quick to discover, and quick in forming opinions. And although they are talkative, their energy comes in bursts, meaning that they often require downtime and will characteristically be shy, introspective, and sensitive. Vatas work best in small groups and will shy from noisy, crowded areas. Physically they are light and lean; joints are veins are often visible through dry, rough skin. Digestion for them can be sensitive, and they are light sleepers, prone to bouts of insomnia. Vata that is out of balance will cause weight loss and constipation. Anxiety also runs high for Vatas; they are likely to feel overwhelmed will constantly ask themselves, 'What have I done wrong,' accepting blame when blame is not theirs. Physical problems can include arthritis, weak joints, restlessness, and digestive challenges. 
As an element that is constantly changing, Vata is balanced through stability. Regular mealtimes and regular sleep patterns are excellent habits to pick up. Also, light exercise will shed excess energy and will reduce anxiety levels. Dress appropriately for the season as not to be tipped in the direction of too hot or too cold. Surround yourself with warm colors, such as yellows and pastels, and warm aromas, like cinnamon and vanilla. Personally, I think of myself as a Vata. If you're like me in that regards then our Amber Elixir may be the best choice for you. We each have our balance; we only need the clarity and time to find it.
