Can doing handstands prevent balding?

Standing on your head will not encourage hair growth or prevent balding, it’s just an old myth. The old tale suggests that standing on your head will increase blood flow and that increased circulation will promote hair growth. There is no clinical evidence to suggest that this is true. Although circulation is important, supplements, exercise, and a healthy diet have been clinically proven to improve circulation and contribute to your body’s overall health, and hair health.

If you think you may be experiencing hair loss, consult with your physician first if the hair loss is sudden if you have made and life changes. After talking to your physician, if you think your hair loss may be permanent, Bosley suggests you make an appointment to talk to one of the Bosley Professionals. During your free consultation, a Bosley professional can help answer your questions about your options and help you find the best solution for your hair loss.
