Up your fitness goals Fitness is essential when it comes to stimulating the right conditions for hair growth. "Anything that causes vasodilation and increased oxygenation and nutrient delivery to the skin or connective tissue helps, which means hair, teeth and nails," says Engleman. By the way, according to the good doctor, it also includes massage. "We know that massage, acupuncture and acupressure also help. In other cultures, massage is crucial for both skin AND hair vitality. We know these activities create a positive response in nutrient and oxygen delivery. Any mechanism that causes relaxation of the muscles around the hair follicle subsequently causes increased blood flow, vasodilation and nutrient delivery, which causes hair growth." Scalp massage, anyone?
