Like on the monkey bars.

Can I force all the blood in my body to go to my scalp if I hang long enough?

Yes you can. It won't help your hair though.

I have an inversion table and use it frequently, helps my low back pain. Actually fall asleep while hanging upsidedown. Definitely gets the blood to the head but won't do squat for hair nourishment.

Put an hot towel for 8 minutes, massage your scalp then hang upside down for 15 minutes. Rub olive oil on the scalp and let it sit for 4 hours. Or just take minoxidil and finasteride and actually accomplish something.

I used to wonder that too. However, it turns out that hanging upside down is quite risky. You might pop a blood vessel in the brain or in the eyes. The benefits, if any, aren't worth the risk.
