Inversion Challenge November 2013-November 2014

I want to join! Was supposed to start like last week but started today. I actually just finished Day 1 like 5 minutes ago. I used coconut oil.
 
Day 7 was completed successfully. No pics because of the twists. I used NJoy 's sulfur oil 6 out of 7 days. On Day 7, I actually moisturized, sealed with EVCO, used sulfur oil and covered with plastic cap and my satin cap before massaging a couple of minutes and inverting for 5 minutes. I didn't heat up the oil on any of the days.

Next month, I'll try what I did on Day 7 for the entire week.

Am I the only one hanging over backwards? :spinning: It seems like everyone else is talking about leaning over forward over the bed, arm of the sofa or exercies ball.
 
I guess I'm still skeptical. I keep wondering if I was angling my head differently. Anyway, you gals have convinced me to do one more week before relaxing at the end of the year.


From the pics it looked like it did work. The 1st pic is just above the 2 and the other two pics look filled out and at or a little bit passed the 2.

First pic is Nov 1st, the others are today. It didn't work for me.

I didn't even have to click your attached images to see that there is a definite difference in your hair, length and thickness. See you again on December 1st

I saw this too.

I'm mad late to this challenge, but I would like to join and try inversion for at least 60 days total to see if I notice a difference. I will invert nightly for 5-7 mins after massaging in either my homemade scalp oil or scalp serum. If it really works, it will become a regular part of my regimen. Tonight, 11/08/13 will be Day 1.

Welcome to the challenge

Legitimate question. If you ladies are doing a bunch of other things (or just starting an entire new routine) in addition to the inversion technique, how do you know for sure what caused the growth?

I haven't measured my hair yet (waiting until Sunday to do so) but I made sure I didn't do anything extra so that I can truly see what's causing the growth. This time around I used no oils. I only massaged my scalp as I was inverted.

The issues that I had in the past with sticking to regimens was that I kept changing things up by the month instead of being consistent with one thing for a period of time.

Your question is something i have asked myself when i attempt to do other mainstay challenges "how will i know what exactly is working if i am doing som many other things combined for example, taking supplements, using 1 or more growth aids, exercising, scalp massages and all the other techniques that claims to speed up hair growth.

Well I will post my pics later this evening. If i see a difference in my hair length in comparison to the original pics i posted at the start of the challenge then i will know that it is the 7 days inversion that has made the difference because currently i'm not taking no supplements and i only used my LG two of the seven days of doing the challenge.

Welcome to the challenge.

I hope all newcomers will like it here and get results as needed.

This is supposed to work in a week. Despite all of the other things ppl may have going on, if this gives you an inch or close to it in a week, that should trump the growth that all the other aides ppl use. Even MN is not going to give you an inch in a week.
 
I'm still working on my selfie length checks so don't laugh at me! The first picture is from Nov 1st and the last two are from Nov 8th.

The very ends of my hair (in that section) made it to 16" but most of it is around the 15.5"/15/75" mark. Which could be their full inch since in pic 1 only the very ends made it to 15." :drunk: :lol: I'm not a huge length checker so I've randomly checked a few other sections and they're a fuller 16." i.e. what I was trying to show in pic #3 but it's looking like a fail LOL

I will check back in at the end of the month (hopefully with pictures :look:) to see if that entire section is "16 or more.

Next month I'm looking for 17" :yep:

Missed my day 7. But I will make it up. I plan to stay with this challenge. Next time I will use warm oil with the massage. My hair is doing really well. There is some growth but I have a lot shrinkage (which works for me until I can do other styles) and I do WNG so I will have wait and see for more noticeable growth.

This is awesome.....glad there is proof and we haven't been hanging upside down in vain. Next month i will definitely try to incorporate massages while i invert. The following month which i January i will use my oil, massage and invert all together that way i can track what hip and what not. Good growing YaniraNaturally
 
Unfortunately, this time, I'm not sure if I gained much growth. I don't feel much new growth up there, but I will wait it out and do another length check once I wash clothes so I can put my striped night shirt back on. The only difference from this time and last is, 1. Last time, I used sulfur in my peppermint eo, Shea, coconut oil mix, and 2. I was drinking a can of V8 juice daily. Maybe those two pieces were the key to my last inversion growth spurt.
 
My Stats...
Natural/Relaxed:I's Natural
Current Length:APL
Measurement starting point: Front 10', Back 8'
Goal Length:BSL by July 2014, MBL by Dec 2014

Length check time. Nov 1 starting pic in above post. Nov 9 LC pic in this post.

Note: I can't figure out how to post pics side by side so hope you can see there is a difference. Looks to be about an inch What do you all think?

Day 7 done on dry hair. It was so relaxing I lost track of time and did it for 8 minutes. :lol:

Will measure in 2 days. Growth isn't 's not like a faucet so I wanna be sure I get as much growth in as possible for the measurement.
 
Well here are my results. I didn't know that i could get half an inch per week. I wanna continue doing this everyday!

BEFORE Nov 1st

AFTER Nov 9th- i just measured.

I will post my back shots later today after i get some help

Looks like progress! From looking at my roots I don't think I got much at all so I will measure end of month.

Yep PureSilver you definitely got growth. I felt the same way, would love to continue to do it daily but gotta give it a rest otherwise your body gets used to it and go back to normal growth.
