Hi Naveen, we do not believe that this yoga asana can help your hair grow back again. This is a somewhat dangerous asana to perfect so it would be wise for you to seek a yogi near where you live for personal training.

Hi Prabhakaran, this is something that goes beyond what we can teach via YogaMums. I hope you do manage to find inner peace in the future though. Good luck!

No, no evidence to suggest it will help with hair loss.

Standing on the head is russian roulette for the neck spine. Better to stand on your hands or do a forward bend with bent knees. So many people have bone spurs, reversed curve in the neck and even overgrowth of the neck which narrows the nerve outlets.. Get a sling and hang upside down but dont stand on your head with any weight on it at all EVER. I have been doing yoga 40 years and teaching for 20 and I have seen so many injuries from headstands. Also I am a professional bodyworker for more than 20 years and I teach anatomy, and I run a yoga school too. . The neck spine is not designed to hold any weight on it. Even having forward head carriage and poor posture puts a huge amount of pressure on the spine but headstands make no anatomical sense. It may not hurt now but there will be long term problems with the neck in most.. Most gyms and fitness centers do not allow headstands anymore because the insurance companies request no headstands allowed.
