5 yoga asanas to prevent hairloss and greying

Nothing can be more frustrating than seeing your hair fall even after using expensive hair products and booking regular appointments at the salon. Seeing your hairbrush tangled with your hair every morning can be distressing.

Our hair plays a crucial role in enhancing our looks but hair fall and premature greying of hair have become a growing concern for people of all age groups. It can be due to pollution, poor lifestyle habits, eating patterns, or even due to some underlying diseases. Using an expensive hair care product does not guarantee healthy hair. We are all no strangers to physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga. Regularly practicing some yoga asana can improve blood circulation and hair growth.
