As a matter of fact, hair loss is greatly linked to nutritional deficiencies. Optimal nutrient intake is key for stimulating faster hair growth. Your hair needs vitamin A to stay moisturized and grow. It is the primary vitamin that is responsible for the growth of all cells, and as hair is fastest growing tissue in the human body, Vitamin A is your hair’s favorite nutrient. Another alternative hair loss treatment are B-vitamins that aid hair growth, vitamin C that stimulates collagen and prevent hair from aging, and vitamin D that prevents alopecia.

If you have not heard of this method before, it may sound a little bit weird at first. But you’d be surprised to know that it is the most effective way to stimulate hair growth. It is said that your hair can grow up to one inch a week with the inversion method! In order for the inversion method to work its magic on you, you need to take it step by step. First, get your hair trimmed and remove split ends to be able to measure and compare it to the end result. Then, hang your head between your legs in an inverted pose while sitting (which is commonly used as a yoga practice). With your fingertips, massage your scalp for about 5-10 minutes. You can even do this while putting a hair mask or an intensive moisturizing treatment like coconut oil or argan oil and use a wire scalp massager instead of your hands. Repeat this for seven consecutive days to get the best results.
