Flip It to Grow It: Why I Shampoo Upside Down

I’ve been flipping my head over while shampooing for years— not because its fun (its not), but because it sends blood rushing straight to my scalp, and you feel it. Think of it as a mini workout for your roots. When you’re in the salon, your stylist is massaging to create circulation, that most people don’t achieve by washing their own hair.

The idea is simple: more circulation = more oxygen and nutrients = happier hair follicles. And yes, there’s science behind it. Research shows scalp massage can actually increase hair thickness over time by boosting blood flow and stimulating the dermal papilla (the cells that help grow your hair).

Is washing upside down a magic growth hack? Not exactly. But pairing that gravity pull with a good scalp massage and the right shampoo… that’s a little extra love. At the very least, it’s an invigorating reset for your head and a deeper clean.

So the next time you’re in the shower, flip it. Massage it. Let the blood rush. It’s not just about washing your hair, it’s about waking it up.
