Want to speed up your hair growth? One of the most popular ways to do this is by using the inversion method. First, you will need to apply the oil to the scalp, and then lower your head down for a while. This will increase the blood flow to the scalp and activate the “dormant” hair follicles, which will have a positive effect on hair growth. Unfortunately, there is no scientific evidence to support or disprove the fact that hair can grow back faster with the inversion method. This method has both positive and negative reviews. Doctors explain that positive results come from good hygiene and relaxation, not some miracle cure. Anyway, why not try this method yourself?

Steps

Part 1 of 2: Applying Oil

1. 1 Choose the oil that suits you. By following this method, you can use different oils. Try olive oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, or Moroccan argan oil if you want to use natural ingredients.
   • Choose an oil that has a calming scent. Since the inversion method involves massage, choose a scented oil that will allow you to relax.
2. 2 Heat the oil. Take approximately 3-4 tablespoons of oil (44-59 ml). Also take a cup of hot water and place the oil bottle in the cup. You can use regular hot tap water. Soak the oil bottle in a cup of warm water for one minute until the bottle is warm to the touch. Your goal is to increase blood flow to your scalp. Warm oil will increase blood flow to your skin cells. Be careful not to overheat the oil. Do not burn your scalp.
3. 3 Apply the oil to your scalp. If you have a lot of hair loss, first apply the oil to your problem areas and then to the rest of your scalp. Make sure that the entire scalp is covered with a thin layer of oil. You don't need a lot of oil to completely cover your scalp.
4. 4 Using a comb, spread the oil over the rest of your hair. If you have brittle and split ends, oil it completely. Hair becomes brittle and split when it lacks moisture and nutrients. Natural oils can help solve this problem.
   • If you have curly hair, follow this procedure very carefully or skip this step altogether.You hardly want to lose half of your hair.

Part 2 of 2: Stimulating the hair follicles

1. 1 Massage your head gently. Massage your scalp very gently with your fingertips. Make small circular movements clockwise and then counterclockwise. You can also massage with your palms, not just your fingers. With your palms, you can massage your scalp much faster by covering more of the scalp.
   • Pay more attention to your problem areas, but do not forget about the rest of the scalp. Do not massage too hard, otherwise you may accidentally pull out hair or damage hair follicles. Massage for 4 minutes.
2. 2 Tilt your head down. You can do this over a sink or over a bathtub. Alternatively, you can sit in a chair with your head down, with your legs resting against the back of the chair, and simply hang your head down. Regardless of which method you choose, your hair should hang freely and your head should be in a comfortable position. Your goal is to get into a comfortable position and relax.
3. 3 Remain in this position for 4 minutes. This will allow the oil to penetrate deeper into the scalp and stimulate blood flow to it. Breathe deeply. Clear your mind of extraneous thoughts. Relax. This step is like meditation.
4. 4 Come up. You should not stay with your head down for too long. This can lead to high blood pressure.
   • Do not use the inversion method if you have low or high blood pressure, retinal detachment, ear infections, spinal injuries, heart problems, hernia, or are pregnant. The upside-down position can aggravate your condition or cause unpleasant consequences.
5. 5 Leave the oil on the scalp for a while. If you have very dry scalp this is a great remedy for dryness. Some people advise leaving the oil on for a few hours or even overnight.
   • Place a plastic bag over your head to avoid staining your clothes, furniture, or bedding. You can use a regular plastic bag or purchase a special cosmetic hat. You can purchase a beanie at a cosmetics store.
   • If you decide to leave the oil on for a long time, then keep in mind that this can make the scalp and hair very oily. This can contribute to the closure of the follicles, which in turn will interfere with hair growth.
6. 6 Wash your hair. Make sure you completely rinse off all the oil from your hair. If you don't rinse off the oil from a certain area, the hair on it will be much fatter than others. Do not use shampoos with a pH higher than 7. These shampoos strip the natural oils that are essential for hair growth. Give preference to the following shampoos: L'Oreal EverCreme Intense Nourishing or Heads and Shoulders. Typically, dry hair shampoo has a low pH level.
7. 7 Repeat the procedure every three to four weeks. Depending on your circumstances, you can repeat the procedure every three weeks. You should not do this procedure too often, as it can only close the hair follicles and stop hair growth.
   • For each person, the result will become obvious in due course. Some will see positive results after the first application, while others with chronic folliculitis may see the first results after a few months.
