New Delhi: Practicing yoga for hair growth is getting popular by the day as the world is getting to know about the wonders it can do for hair growth. There are different yoga poses that can help with numerous hair problems—yoga can help induce hair growth, curb hair loss and improve the overall health of your hair. You just have to spread a yoga mat and strike a pose for the luscious locks you have always wanted.
All forward-bending asanas enhance blood flow to the head region and also increase general circulation. This helps in maintaining good scalp hygiene and healthy hair. The following asanas can help you with that. Regular practice of these is recommended for best results.

Keep your knees and arms straightened and your abdominal pushed inward. Keep your head down and your eyes on your navel. Breathe in and out and stay in that position for 5 long breaths.
 Sirsasana (headstand)
How to do it: Kneel down, interlock your fingers and bend your head downwards on the floor. Supporting the crown of your head with your interlocked hands, raise your legs up gently to stand upside down in perpendicular to the floor. Keep your legs close and your arms straight. Once your body is stable in this pose, try and maintain the balance for a few seconds. Relax your toes and exhale and inhale in the position.
