This method to promote hair growth is not only simple but it is relaxing. Who doesn’t love a good ole massage?

Benefits:

According to research done on scalp massages this helps with the thickening of your hair strand size.
They also increase blood flow and skin softening!

Tip:

Apply your favorite growth oil to your scalp or fingers and start to slowly massage for a few minutes. Make sure to continue to massage until you have reached all of your scalp. You can also do this without oils. Make sure to do this at least once a week, but the more the better your results can be!

You can also purchase a scalp massaging tool if you prefer one instead of fingertips.


The Inversion Method

This method has been recommend by many but not many studies have been done. If you are physically able to give it a try, do it!

The big idea with this method is that it increases blood flow to your hair follicles. Your hair gets it’s nutrients from the blood stream and this is why the inversion method should work. Some sources say to do this a few minutes everyday for one week each month while others say to do it once a week.

How to:

Find a spot to safely lay and hand the upper part of your body upside down. If you have an inversion table that is ideal… not many of us will have that unfortunate. I find that laying off the side of my bed works just fine.

Tip:

Play your favorite song and hangout for the duration of it. Do this a few times a week.

If you want to do extra also massage your scalp while inverted.
