Think about it... Your hair follicle is fd by your blood stream. If you have poor circulation, your hair follicle will be slowly starved. Exercise on the other hand improves circulation and increases blood flow to every part of your body. Along with exercise comes stimulation. Many parts of our body lack positive stimulation to increase blood flow. Here are a few tips to help you stimulate your scalp, follicles and even hair growth.
1. Do not do this exercise if you have high or low blood pressure! Do not do this exercise without your doctor's approval if you are significantly beyond young adulthood!
Stand on your head. If you cannot, lay on your bed face down with your torso off the end of the bed and head and forearms laying flat on the floor with palms down. Stay in that position for a minute each day and, after a week, gradually work your way up to five minutes each day. The theory behind this is that you will bring oxygen to the hair follicles, which will rejuvenate the scalp and encourage hair to grow.
2. Clinch your fingers so that the nails of your right hand face the nails of your left hand. Rub the fingernails of one hand against the fingernails of your other. Do this three times a day for 5 minutes each time. Supposed to reduce gray hair and stimulate hair growth.
3. Massage your scalp with baby oil or olive oil for five minutes every night and morning. Scalp massages increase circulation to the head and can help hair follicles receive important nutrients from the blood supply.
4. Massage your scalp with a mixture of six drops of lavender and six drops of bay oil in four oz of sesame oil.
5. Grab a handful of hair and yank gently. Repeat it over your entire scalp concentrating on problem areas (if possible). This is to strengthen your roots.
6. Make loose fists and lightly knock on your scalp. This is done to stimulate your scalp and brain.
7. Take a 30 to 60 minute walk every day. Take the dog or kids for a walk and then come home for a spa treatment with the tonics and scalp treatments.
8. Sleep seven to eight hours a night. Your body has to have a good rest period and allow circulation of blood and oxygen to the necessary organs such as skin, heart and lungs just to name a few. Your scalp will also rejuvenate during this time and you will have to brush your hair in the morning.
9. Tap your scalp with a wire brush. This is said to increase electrical stimulation to the follicles.
10. A dermal hammer is an acupuncture tool, which has a long handle supporting a head, which holds a cluster of small individual "blunt" needles intended to stimulate, but not puncture the skin. It is commonly used all over the body, but for hair loss, right over the thinning areas of the scalp. The tool is used once then discarded (or possibly several times if the tool is properly sterilized). This is a recognized method of fighting hair loss, but due to the nature of the practice, I suggest finding a licensed acupuncturist to perform the therapy correctly and safely. I also believe that the tapping hairbrush method is a much safer way to accomplish the same thing.
