USAGE OF HAIR INVERSION TECHNIQUE FOR HAIR GROWTH

The inversion technique for hair growth is an interesting concept and in this blog, I have discussed the same.

It is a well-known fact that as age increases, the hair growth rate decreases. First, we need to analyse the structure and stages of growth of hair. Hair is made up of a protein called keratin.

Structure of Hair:

Hair has three layers:

• Medulla- It is the innermost layer but not found mostly.
• Cortex-It is the second most layer and it contains melanin.
• Cuticle- Cuticle is the outermost layer of hair.

Phases of Hair Growth:

• Anagen– The first, as well as the longest phase of hair growth, is the Anagen phase. It may last from3 to 7 years maximum. In this phase, the hair grows from the roots and grows long. Most of our scalp hair stays in the Anagen phase.
• Catagen– It is the second phase of hair growth immediately starting after the Anagen phase. it may last from 10- 12 days depending on the nature of the hair. The size of the hair follicles reduce and the hair starts to lose its strength. Hair does not fall in this phase but it starts to weaken.
• Telogen– It is the third phase and it lasts up to 90 days or so. Hair growth stops but the hair does not fall.
• Exogen-It is merely an extension of the Telogen phase. During this phase, loosing up to 100 hair s per day is seen as normal. New hair follicles start to appear.

As we can see, most of our scalp hair stays in the Anagen phase. But as we grow older, the Anagen phase also slows down and the growth rate is also affected.  Some people suffer from alopecia, baldness, excessive hair fall and other hair related diseases. The key point is to nourish our hair follicles so that the growth rate does not stagnate and increase to a great extent also.

There are several methods to nourish the hair follicles and one of them is the hair inversion technique for hair growth.

It is believed that if you hang the hair down, then a huge blood rush happens inside the brain which reaches the hair scalp and the hair follicles get nourished by that blood flow which leads to increase in the growth rate by a few inches per month.

Method to do hair inversion technique for Hair Growth:

• Take a few drops of essential oils( any oil like rosemary, lavender etc) and mix it with either coconut/olive/almond oil. Rub the oil between your palms to warm it up.
• Sit on a chair with an erect posture. Lower your head with your hair facing downwards and reach up till your knee. The hair should be combed without any knots and should not be tied up.
• Massage your scalp with the oil mixture for a maximum of 10 minutes. The oil should be massaged on the scalp in a circular motion in a very gentle manner. Do not pull your hair while messaging or increase the speed of the message. It helps the hair to tangle less and thus prevents hair breakage.
• Please be careful if you have long nails. Do not use the nail tip for the message. Always use your fingertips for messaging.
• After messaging your hair, lift it up very slowly. Do not lift your head in a hurried motion as sometimes it can cause dizziness or other problems.

Who Should Avoid:

Although this is a fairly easy method for hair growth, there are certain people who should absolutely avoid this technique. They are

• People with high blood pressure
• Pregnant women
• People suffering from chronic back pain, spondylosis
• People who suffer from dizziness and nausea

In yoga also there are certain asanas like shirshasana and the dog pose which practise hair inversion. They are also good for overall hair growth. Hair inversion technique for hair growth is an effective way but it needs to be practised with a little caution. While doing the process, if there is even the slightest discomfort, discontinue it immediately. Otherwise, this is a safe method and can be done once daily.

Results:

Overall, hair health depends on diet, exercise and external nourishments provided for the hair. The diet should consist of green leafy vegetables and lean protein along with the vitamin B12, zinc, iron, magnesium etc. Exercise should be done regularly to ensure a healthy lifestyle. And additionally, if anyone practises the hair inversion technique for hair growth, then the results will be marvellous.
