In pursuing healthy hair, we often focus solely on external treatments and products, overlooking the profound impact of our lifestyle choices. As a dermatologist, Dr. Kalyani has observed a significant correlation between stress levels and the condition of one's skin and hair. In this article, she will elucidate five ways incorporating yoga and stress reduction exercises into your routine, including specific yoga postures (asanas), can lead to better hair health.

She advocates for the integration of these natural and transformative practices alongside conventional treatments, empowering individuals to embark on a holistic path to optimal hair health. As individuals embrace these practices, they nourish their hair and foster a profound sense of well-being that radiates from within.

Enhanced Blood Circulation

Yoga with forward bends (Uttanasana, Paschimottanasana)and stress reduction exercises (deep breathing and meditation), serve as catalysts for improved blood circulation throughout the body, including the scalp. The increased flow of oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles fosters their growth and vitality. Moreover, this enhanced circulation aids in detoxification, reducing scalp inflammation and creating an optimal environment for robust hair growth.

Stress Hormone Regulation

Chronic stress triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone notorious for disrupting the hair growth cycle and contributing to issues like hair thinning and shedding. Engaging in yoga(Salamba Sirsasana, Salamba Sarvangasana) and stress reduction techniques (guided meditation) effectively lowers cortisol levels, mitigating its adverse effects on the hair follicles. By managing stress proactively, individuals can uphold a conducive environment for their hair to flourish.

Hormonal Balance With Twists

Yoga practices encompass specific poses(Bharadvajasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana) and breathing exercises that promote hormonal equilibrium within the body. Hormonal imbalances, such as those associated with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders, often manifest in hair-related concerns. By fostering hormonal harmony, yoga can address these underlying causes, resulting in improved hair health and reduced hair fall.
