Inversion Challenge November 2013-November 2014

Challengers.....Ok so i had an interesting conversation with ImFrotastic about the inversion method and i just wanted to highlight her youtube video that speaks of warning signs and health concerns while doing the method. For those interested please click the link to watch the video. While many persons may be doing the method without any issues there are a few persons who have had headaches, nauseousness and dizziness so this video is worth watching to see alternative ways to do the inversion method and risks involved.

I haven't posted in a few days even though I have been inverting every day except 11/5/13. That's the day my brother died and I had a terrible headache. I will not be able to post any results this week, because I am not at home and won't be going back home until the end of next week or so. I guess I will wait until next week and again at the end of the month to post result photos. I do believe the challenge is to see growth in one week, so next month, barring any personal issues, I will post a beginning picture and a picture on day 8 to determine if this really works for me. I was unable to use oil for November, since I was not home and did not bring my scalp oil with me, so I will see what my results are without oil this time around.

That scared the crap out of me about the blind thing, even for a couple of seconds I would be going crazy. I do the bed method because I feel that seriously getting the blood flowing and it doesn't bother me because I don't get headaches or dizziness but I'm still scared, thinking about doing the sink. I did get some growth from it because I was three weeks post before inverting and barely had any noticeable new growth but a week later I for sure feel it, I don't know if it's a inch maybe 3/4 of and inch

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.
Click to expand...

Froreal that's so true. In my case is does trump the other things I do (exercise: biking; vitamins: MSM, DE, Bee Pollen, head massages, etc). Though these things are good, with these things my hair only grows 1/2" every month. In September my new growth measured at 2 1/2". This month, November, I have a total of 4". So in 2 months I've gained 1 1/2" instead of my usual 1" per 2 months. So conclusion, inversion method is something that I'm gonna continue.

Natural/Relaxed: a gradual 6" cut til' perm was gone
Current Length: 2" past APL, could be BSL??? Won't be sure until December when I straighten do a length check
Goal Length: Thick WL, or maybe even Hip length
Oil of Choice: Coconut oil, jojoba oil and rosemary
 
One thing we must keep in mind is that the same parts we measured might not be the parts that has growth. Like I only measure the lower parts of my 4 sections and I don't see a difference but the top that I didn't measure has unmistakable results
 
I completed day 7 on Friday. Thursday was suppose to be the day, but I fell asleep before I could get to it. No pics this month :sad:. I will be coloring my hair at the end of this month, so my hair will be photo ready for December 1.:yep:

I'm sorry for your loss as well. I haven't lost a brother but my Mom passed away almost 1 month ago and it's still difficult for me. I'm praying for your families and hope we all find comfort.

I didn't even know you can get blood circulating to your head being only halfway bent (which is what the sink pose looks like to me). I've been standing with my head practically touching my knees for that time frame with no issues (I get a good hamstring stretch going as well.) And I lightweight didn't think that was good enough because I thought the best way of all would be actually doing full on head stands...

Thanks to yoga I have no issues with what I had been doing. But hearing someone lost their sight is scary.

I had to stop after my 2nd day. My My cycle started and I was pretty much a zombie for a few days. But im done now so im just gonna jump back in at day 3. Im massaging my scalp with Shea Moisture Scalp Elixir and inverting for 2 minutes with calming sounds so I can meditate before I start my day! I think im gonna take a nice walk too...
 
I have personally not had any issues and this is my second month doing the Inversion. I consider myself an extreme inversion because i throw my legs over the side of the cough and hang my head back and let my hair dangle (I like that part) while I watch the minute on the cable box slowly.

I DID GET EXTREMELY NAUSEOUS ONCE, but I had just eaten. lol.
I waited 4 hours, then was fine.

Since the inversion just ended I am not sure if I got any growth yet. I will check at the end of the month. Should be more than half an inch if it works.

Prayers to you and your family newgrowth15

I did 8 days. yes i cheated and completed day 8 yesterday. I made a "growth oil" so until I invert next week, I'm going to oil my scalp at least 2 or 3 x a week. My mix is:
JBCO, Peppermint Oil, Garlic Oil (made from real Garlic), Lavendar, EVOO and Sweet Almond Oil. Even it if does nothing, at least they're natural oils and I think that can help my hair be stronger and have less shedding and breakage.

Lilmama1011, PureSilver, Beautifulwildflower, HairPleezeGrow, Froreal3, I want to thank each of your for your expressions of sympathy at this difficult time. Losing a sibling for me is one thing, but losing a child for my mom has been hard on her. So I covet your prayers and I thank you for your support for my family and myself. May God bless you all.

OT: I know that feeling too my dear, My brother is my mother's first child and only son and she still cries at nights. He was her everything and they were very close. At the memorial today i cried when i visited his graveside. I really couldn't help myself he's my closest sibling and my heartbeat. I will pray for you because sometimes its only talking to the higher being really helps during these times. I pray that you and your family be comforted and that you will cherish his memory with beautiful thoughts.

Day 7 complete. I used warm coconut oil. I'll do length checks tomorrow or maybe Monday.

LaVgirl, are you completely natural or do you relax, texlax? Are you 3abc or 4abc (if I may ask)? Your hair is beautiful and I like how it looks long and full with texture.

Just washed my hair. There is no way I'm going to bed with an oily head.:nono:
 
How is everyone holding up. Is anyone on day 7 today? For those in the middle of their 7 days, keep pressing on it will be worth it half inch or more is good enough for only 7 days.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss, newgrowth15. I have a twin brother and my heart aches for what you and your family must be going through. You're in my thoughts. :bighug:

Question: you're only supposed to do this once a month.

So if I started today... And ended mid month, would starting again December 1 be good? Or would it be too soon?

Either way, I'll probably start today and keep going.
