Vajrasana

Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose) is a basic but strong pose. It directly addresses stomach-related disorders, which you may or may not believe play a significant role in hair loss. According to studies, unhealthy gut flora can promote hair thinning and eventually hair loss. Vajrasana aids in the relief and healing of many of these ailments, as well as improving digestion. This is important to hair growth since nutrients are absorbed more efficiently by the body when digestion is in good shape. Maintaining a nutritious diet is, of course, essential for long, thick, and healthy hair.

Instructions

Step 1: Kneel down and sit on your heels with your neck and back straight and your heels close together.

Step 2: Maintain a calm position with your hands on your thighs, palms down, and your head and gaze straight.

Step 3: Maintain that position for at least 30 seconds, taking deep and long breaths throughout. When you’re through, stretch and relax.

Pro Tip: For a slimmer tummy, sit in Vajrasana every day.

Uttanasana

 Uttanasana (Camel Pose) is a challenging yoga asana to learn. This yoga pose stretches and relaxes muscles while also increasing blood flow and oxygen levels to the head.

As a result, your hair follicles become stronger and your hair grows longer. It improves the quality and texture of your hair, as well as making it perfect and shinier.

Instructions

Step 1: Standing upright with your feet touching each other is the best way to start.

Step 2: Raise your arms above your head and take a deep breath.

Step 3: Bend forward while keeping your arms straight and not exhaling.

Step 4: If you’re comfortable, try touching the mat and hugging your knees while keeping your head down the entire time. Maintain this position for 15-30 seconds.

It may take a few times to perfect this yoga asana. Don’t forget to exhale as you rise.

 

Pro Tip- If you have a lower back ailment or a knee joint or ankle injury, this asana should be avoided.

Matsyasana

One of the most effective and popular asanas for strong, long, and healthy hair is Matsyasana (Fish Pose). It’s simple to practice and, like the other poses stated above, can be done swiftly at home without any equipment. With regular practice, this yoga asana is recognized to alleviate most hair problems.

Step 1: Lie down on your back and bend your knees inwards, much like you would when sitting cross-legged.
