How to Use a Sauna for Faster Hair Growth

Relaxing in a sauna lets you unwind after a hard day working or exercising--or just relaxing for therapeutic purposes. It also keeps your pores clean and allows you to sweat out toxins that are in your body. You can take advantage of the benefits of a steam sauna, but try incorporating your steam sessions with your hair care regimen. Using a sauna for faster hair growth allows you to make use of beneficial oils while infusing them into your scalp and hair follicles for healthy, shiny, long-growing hair.
