Grow an inch per week? Is this real or BS?

I did notice my roots seemed to be growing in while i was doing yoga. Its the HEALTHY way to improve circulation through your entire body. It hurts so I stopped doing it. I think I'll designate my den as my yoga room and once I get settled in get back to every day yoga. Maybe that'll help. I just can't sit around for 4 minutes with my head dangling all willy nilly. I am prone to fainting.
 
Well today will be my 4 th day doing this. I oil my scalp with NJoy growth oil, spray my Celie braids with SCurl, cover with a baggy and hang for 4 min. I do a scalp massage while hanging and also after for 4 min.
 
Just started up again tonight. It's been four weeks since my last inversion. :yep: I'll be back next weekend to post my results.
 
just remembered to start. This is night 1. I greased my scalp with castor oil and massaged my scalp while hanging my head over the edge of my bed. I did 4 minutes...doesn't hurt so what the heck. Hopefully I'll keep it up till Friday.
 
I have reminders on my calendar to remind me to do inversion the week before my salon appointments in May and June. I'm trying to gain the maximum before my transition chop.

1cm equals approx 1/2 inch which in turn would equal 1 1/2 inch a month, right? If correct that is great to me because i am a slow grower.

It's close, but 1 inch is equal to 2.54cms, I'm happy with what I got, but I just wanted a little more:lachen: because I'm greedy. Please try and let us know how it works for you.
 
question... do you have to add oil every time you do it?

Tonight will be my 4th night and I've oiled and massaged the last 3 nights. the oil is making my hair look and feel good but I'm wondering if that will weigh my hair down too much. I'm using castor oil btw
 
What is the reasoning behind doing hthis for one week only out of the month? I'd it to give your follicles a " rest"? I did it for one week and I did see growth of about .75 inch . I want do do it everyday but guess I will have to wait til next month.

I guess a safety precaution for ur body/brain? I read that u need to ease ur body into getting use to being inverted. The more you do it the more often you can do it.

According to the girl in the video it's because when you do it often enough, your body seems to adjust and you do not get the growth spurt that you will get by only doing it for one week out of the month. This is to increase blood flow in a place that doesn't get as much attention. So I guess when you do it daily, your follicles become spoiled. :lol:

Lol thanks
 
I started on Monday and will finish tomorrow. Unfortunately, I didn't take any starting measurements. I'll definitely measure when I do it next month.
 
Aww crap, I forgot to take a picture! I'll have to take one tonight when dh gets home from work. :yep:

Here's my before & after picture from last Sunday around 10pm. Unfortunately, I did not measure the original shot however I feel as if I gained at LEAST a half an inch this week. Next week I will be sure to measure. Either way I'm happy bc typically it takes a month to gain a half inch...thanks for sharing this technique!
