Celebrity hair transplant surgeon debunks upside-down hair hack

Hanging upside down does not improve blood flow to hair follicles because they already receive adequate supply in healthy individuals, says celebrity hair transplant surgeon Dr Mayank Singh.

No substantial evidence shows that the 5-minute inversion method improves patterned hair loss or baldness.

At best, inversion acts as a scalp massage that temporarily makes hair look thicker, but it does not stimulate new hair growth.

Dr Mayank warns of risks: inversion increases spinal load, reduces intracranial pressure, and causes blood pressure spikes due to narrowed eye movements.
