Inversion Challenge November 2013-November 2014

As promised, I am uploading my pictures for November 2013.
1) The first picture is from November 1, 2013 before I cut 4 inches from my hair.
2) The second and third pictures are the cut hair.
3) The fourth picture is my starting picture for November 1, 2013.
4) The last picture is my progress picture from November 21, 2013.

Next month, barring no complications, I plan to take my progress shot on the 8th day after I complete my inversion.

That sounds like a good idea. Looking forward to your post and another set of progress pics.

Thanks, I think I'm going to look at monthly progress rather than over the week. Im doing inversion this week, last day is tomorrow :)

Plus next month I'll be back at home (currently at university) so I can get someone else to take a photo and check my progress :)
 
counting down the days to Dec 1st, now that i have a fresh relaxer i wanna see how much i get out of this. I will measure before starting, after i have completed and two weeks after also on Dec 31st to see how much i have gotten over the different time intervals.

Anyone else doing inversion currently. How are the days treating you, do you do it at a specific time of day.

If you find that you are skipping days you can add a reminder to your phone.

Did the inversion method this month but no pictures to show if I retained some length or not because I have my sew in... I plan on doing it when I will remove it and keep my hair out for an entire month :)
 
I am not mentioned, but I will give this a try for the week of December 1. I will try to stick with it. I get lazy after work.

I will use my oil mix of meadowfoam seed, grapeseed, broccoli seed, fractionated coconut, and passion fruit seed oils, with a few drops of rosemary, bergamot, and myrrh essential oils.
 
Yep, so excited for month 2. I was happy with my Nov results so I'll be doing inversion for the full 12 months challenge.
 
I'm ready! Just patiently waiting for Sunday :grin:

So far it's looking like my hair has continued growing throughout the month. I haven't measured my hair since the 7th so I could also be imagining things :lol:
 
Checking in. I'm gonna start this on December 1.

Personally, I don't know if I can handle another inversion month. I didn't get an inch before for November but I got way THICKER new growth than I think I'd like. It's making styling and air drying virtually impossible and the breakage is no joke. I can't sneeze without feeling a few snaps of hair across my scalp.

I am trying to see how long I can stretch. I just colored my hair recently and so relaxing is out of the question until January 2014 at least. Regardless, I'd like to have 2 inches of growth before I relax again so I'm looking at February.

Currently 4 weeks post.
 
Im going to start mid-December to give myself a full 4 weeks since my last inversion.

By the way:
I am relaxed.
My longest layer is close to SL or might be SL I won't know until I take my braids out.
I was using Njoy sulfur oil but I will switch to my KV oil or MN mix when I get it hopefully by Dec. 11th-ish
 
DD and I will be back at it. :yep: this month went by really fast. I can't believe it's time already. We will be using exercise balls and castor oil, at least until it runs out, after that I haven't decided yet.

Its great that you got much thickness, i can't say the same for myself. You may need to check your P&M balance, also you could look into straightening your hair with a keratin treatment to better handle the NG you have.

Day 4 :look:

PureSilver I always have to do it the last week of every month because thats what I originally did before the challenge
Thats ok, you're still here with us and thats what matters so happy inverting.



Ladies please remember to post Before and After pics on Nov 30, and whatever you may be changing to your method for month
2

Lets close out 2013 with a bang, inches inches inches, thickness and 7 straight days of a relaxing stretch. Happy growing ladies

Thank you.

That is okay. I was not in the last one. I guess that was my way of asking if I could join.
 
Yup I am ready. Got all my stuff together this time. Will be having foot surgery on Monday but I don't think it will prevent me from inverting.
