Achieve Healthy, Happy Hair with the Help of Infrared Sauna

Have you been trying to grow your hair out or stop hair loss for as long as you can remember? Have you tried all the miracle shampoos? Trimming your hair every couple months? Nothing seems to work?

Well, have you tried taking the issue to an infrared sauna cabin, exposing your scalp to heat that increases blood flow as well as moisture to the scalp?

Why might I be losing my hair to begin with?

While there are many reasons you may be losing your hair or you are unable to grow it (such as stress, hormone changes, genetics, aging and more), one reason could be poor scalp circulation. More specifically, poor blood circulation suggests that there is inadequate nutrition getting to the hair follicles. If your scalp and hair do not receive a sufficient amount of blood, nutrients, lymph and oxygen, it has been reported that your hair may shrink and die.

How can the infrared sauna potentially help?

Infrared saunas increase blood flow to the scalp as your body works to regulate its temperature and cool itself off. 

On top of the heat causing blood flow, it also creates moisture around the scalp. Moisture of the hair is critical to protecting hair and its cells, and is achieved when our scalp glands release compounds that condition and moisturize. These glands are activated when time is spent in the sauna which create more healthy hair compounds and conditioning. Hair is at its healthiest when the scalp is hydrated and its follicles can support it properly. 

To achieve hydration from the infrared sauna rather than dryness, you should keep an eye and finger on how your hair is feeling after each session and make sure to stay hydrated by drinking water. Also, massage your scalp regularly and condition after your session. A hair mask is not a bad idea every once in a while either if you want to ensure extra moisture!
