Healthy Hair Insight: Because You Need Another Reason To Try Inversion


The online hair world has been buzzing with claims that inversion increases growth rate from 1/2 per month to an inch a week!  While the proof isn't not quite what we'd call scientific, now you have a really good non-hair reason to try test it out. Or perhaps you were already practicing inversion in your yoga and Pilates classes! Check out this article in September's Women's Health Mag about the benefits of inversion for your body and 3 moves to keep it simple. You better believe that I'll be holding my downward dog poses longer and practicing my pilates roll ups more often. 

Are you sold on practicing inversion for longer hair and a stronger body?

Besitos!

  1. I am thinking about trying it but I am not completely sold. Learning to do a handstand with my daughter will be cool though, if I get longer hair in the process I won't complain lol

    1. Same here Candice! I'd just feel silly hanging upside down solely for my hair. Ha-ha! Plus trying to track pseudo-scientific results, seems kinda difficult.

  2. Ha! I do the supported hair stand when I'm relaxing on the floor watching TV. Maybe I need to do it more often...

    1. I just know that I'm going to giggle during my Pilates routine now and hold the inverted poses longer. LOL!

      Will I see you at GNHBC on Sunday?

    1. Outside of my yoga and Pilates classes---I probably won't make an effort either.

  4. I have def not been sold on the inversion for longer hair yet, but I was won over for body health in my yoga class. A couple of those poses really help relieve cramps, too! That was the proof that got me :)

    1. The science behind inversion is shakier than my legs in a handstand. Ha-ha!

  5. Thanks for pointing out other benefits to the inversions method. I'm not sold on it for hair growth either, but have been trying it the past few days. I've actually been laying on my bed with my head hanging over the side, just to test out this whole theory. I really haven't noticed much difference yet. Maybe it works for some and not others...idk... will be working on these poses for sure though. Jeni has had me wanting to work on that head stand. lol!

  10. I just started on Sunday! I honestly have no way of knowing whether or not it works because I didn't measure at all... lol.
    So probably not helpful. But I will definitely measure next month when I will probably try again.
