Look as Good as You Feel™!

Many men and women suffer from hair loss. While there are several reasons that lead to hair loss, such as age, stress, or hormonal imbalance your hair reflects your body’s overall health. One of the best ways to Look as Good as You Feel™ with your restored hair is to also incorporate regular exercise.  Daily exercise is not only good for the body, but it can also improve and strengthen your hair’s growth cycle. Here are some simple exercises* you can incorporate into your daily routine that are great for improving your health and your hair and scalp.

Cardio

Jogging, cycling, swimming, and HIIT (high-intensity interval training) are all great cardio workouts for getting the heart pumping and promoting blood flow all over the body. Doing any cardio exercise for at least a half hour daily increases blood circulation to your scalp. The scalp requires good blood flow to boost hair growth. Plus, while you’re sweating the pores in your scalp open up which helps to flush out toxins that are harmful to the hair.

Deep breathing

Practicing deep breathing provides the scalp with oxygen which help rejuvenate damaged hair and promote new hair growth. Deep breathing also reduces anxiety and stress which is one of the causes of hair loss. Take about 5-10 minutes to do various deep breathing exercises each day. Even better you can do them just about anywhere such as your daily commute or at work.

Inverted Exercises

Inversion of your body reverses blood flow towards the scalp and is also said to help with lymphatic drainage and balances hormones. This can help slow thinning hair and reduce hair loss. Elevate your feet above your head and hold them there or, if you’re able, perform completely inverted exercises such as headstands or handstands. Practicing yoga and stretching is a great workout for performing various types of inverted exercises for all fitness levels.

Massage

At the end of a long day or strenuous workout a massage is a great way to wind down and soothe your tired muscles. Massages are not just for the body but for the scalp as well. Massaging the scalp increase blood flow to the scalp, which circulates all the essential nutrients to the hair follicles and promotes growth. Using the pads of your fingers gently rotate your hands around the scalp for about 1-2 minutes. You can do it yourself or ask your partner to do it for you.
