Here are some asanas to help you with hair loss:
Adho Mukha Svanasana
It is one of the Surya Namaskar poses. This pose stimulates the blood flow in the scalp which simultaneously boosts the oxygen flow leading to hair growth. One has to stand straight with their hip-width apart and reach the floor with their hands.
Sarvangasana
Someone with dry and thin hair must practice this asana daily. One has to make a 90-degree angle with their legs while lying on their back against the wall. Then use their hands to lift their hip.
Sirsasana
This yoga pose stops the balding and thinning of hair by increasing blood flow to the scalp. One has to interlock their fingers and place them behind their head. Then they have to touch the forehead to the ground while bending down. Slowly they need to stand upside down by raising their legs while supporting the crown of the head with their interlocked hands.
Utthanasana
Also called the standing forward bend pose, it helps to soothe our nerves and helps reduce stress and anxiety. It also helps oxygen reach the scalp, which strengthens hair follicles.
