Inversion Challenge November 2013-November 2014

outspokenwallflower I mixed my WGHO with MN and had terrible itches too. I stopped doing that. It seems like although both products are good for growth, they don't work well together.

PlainJane Did you heat up your jbco? I tried it with no heat and I didn't yield any results. Trying again in December.

I'm not officially part of this challenge, but I was following the thread and tried it for a week. I'm mainly doing it to fill in my sides and nape. It didn't work. I massaged my scalp for 1 minute with jbco and hung off the side of the bed for 4 minutes. I'll try again next month with a different position and heating up the oil beforehand.

@SkolarStar, sorry to hear it didn't work for you. i myself didn't get an inch but i intend to use oil come Dec 1st every day for this round.
 
I did 5 days and with these braids that was more than enough. I see about 1/4 in but honestly think its a combo of the inversion and the hairfinity.
 
Just finished day 6.

Maybe I'll use oil tomorrow?

I've done a variety of positions to invert. I've hung my head off the bed while on my stomach. Hung my head off the bed while on my back. Hung my head between my legs while sitting on the couch...

I'm fine with all of them and I hope I see more than an 8th of an inch with this lol. That'll lets know if this does anything for me.

ALTHOUGH, my measurements may end up being off because I first measured bone straight and my second test will be a pull test, but oh well lol.

Tomorrow is the last day and measuring day.
 
I'm already looking forward to December so I can start again.
This next round I will have something concrete to compare my results to.

I'm thinking about just doing another round this month from November 20-27th. (I'll be touching up tomorrow).
 
awwww, i get what you mean. You will get some growth even if its half inch it will be something more in a shorter period of time. Good Luck
 
My inversion results. What do you guys think? You can use my tattoo as a marker.

I'd say I got enough growth to make me want to do this once a month.

Hi Everyone. I hope all is well. Thank you for the outpouring of support during my time of mourning. I really appreciate it.

Today, I did a pull test and guess what? I my hair grew 1 inch since the beginning of the month. I measured at 9 inches with a few strands reaching down to 10" on November 1, 2013. Today I measured at 10" with a few strands reaching down to 11". At this rate, I will have the 5" I cut off on November 1st back by March 2014. I'll post a picture later.

HHJ to you all.
 
I failed to take photos this month but I did get 1" per my measurements this past week. I will take photos next month with my measuring tape (I don't trust my pull method).
 
Day 1: Left ear: 14
Right ear: 14
Front: 15.5
Left nape: 13.75
Right nape: 13.5
Starting tonight with no oil because my hair is still pressed and I don't want greasy roots.


Left ear: 14.75
Right ear: 15
Front: 16
Left nape: 14
Right nape: 14

I must say I'm not sure how accurate my results are, so I'd like to try again to see if I get the same results. Hopefully my hair will be in the same stage the whole time (I started with straight hair) ended with my natural fro- so straightened vs stretched hair).

Also I may not have measured the exact same patch of hair, but getting a quarter inch or more on each side is still pretty dope for a week (and with no oil).

I'll join you all again on December 1.
 
You ladies are making me want to start right this minute. But if it's okay can I join you for Dec's inversion I really wanna try bin doing research and now there's a challenge is on!!! :) I'm going to stay using almonds oil that I have add is the only oil that I have left except caddie oil but that's way too heavy will take some current pics soon.

I'm blowdrying my hair for Thanksgiving next week and I am wanting to get as close to full HL as possible before then. Even though I already inverted the first calender week of November, do you all think it would be bad to do a few more inversions?
 
LaVgirl, doing inversions more often than one week per month will render them ineffective. :look: Your body will get used to the blood rush to your scalp and it will no longer "shock" your system into pushing more hair out of your scalp. It's no different than using the same products over and over and then they seem to stop working. So you clarify, change up your products for a few months and then everything starts working again.
 
Hey ladies,
I did inversion last month and monitored my hair growth over a month. It seems that my hair grew almost two inches in a month!
