Want Hair? Get Exercise!


Okay, what I'm going to show you isn't some state-of-the-art hair-growing method, but it does involve the growth of more hair for you. And that's what truly counts!

Whether you hit the gym for a workout or not is totally up to you. But here's something you might wanna know . . .

Exercise benefits hair growth by means of several mechanisms.

The two biggest types of exercises are cardiovascular exercise and strength training. One engages your heart rate allowing blood to flow, and the other builds muscle fibers.

You only need to focus on increasing blood flow so that means any activity such as cardio is going to do you a huge favor. You see your body has miles and miles of tiny, little blood vessels that are carrying nutrients through your blood to all areas of the body, including your hair follicles.

Every little hair follicle contains something called the "dermal papilla" that taps into the bloodstream like the prongs on an electrical plug that tap into electricity.

If you spend just 10 minutes doing jumping jacks or even taking a brisk walk, you'll widen your blood vessels. This will send more nutrients to your follicles not just doing that exercise, but for the long term as well if you stay on schedule.
