[Tonto]

Forgot it was December 1st! I'm gonna begin on the 15th since my last day of November inversion method was not long ago

 

[Beautifulwildflower]

and im thinking about getting a length check shirt very soon...

lilmama if you are decent with a ruler and pen you could make your own. If you have a creative nac use a ruler, pencil and paint markers for T-shirts. My T was $7 and puffy paint was $.99 cent plus 30 minutes or less of your time and voila "length check shirt." You have saved $12.

Here's how mine came out -

 

[Beautifulwildflower]

Train is taking off for "Hair Grow Lane" and here are my pre-inversion pics for Dec.

I prepared by:
First ,by coloring my hair blue at top and red in the back, then a vinegar/water rinse (keeps the color from shedding). No shampoo.

Next, I did a mild protein treatment with 100% avocado oil and processed with heat for 15 min. and a deep treatment masque with heat for another 15 min. Air dried.

Finally, I pressed using homemade heat protectant gel made of aloe vera juice, gelatin, vitamin E drops and essential oil for fragrance. And trimmed 1/2".

Day 1 complete using warmed NJoy oil

I too was contemplating warming my NJoy Oil for this very purpose! Instead I applied the oil and massaged while inverted (5 minutes) Afterwards, I very lightly misted my hair with water and avocado oil, Put on a satin bonnet and used my heating cap for 15 minutes. While my hair was still warm, I replaced the bonnet with a satin scarf to protect just the edges from the plastic of my plastic cap, next put on a plastic cap and covered with a scarf, then satin bonnet (GHE).

First night of the Inversion method. I put a recurring event monthly for 6 months, first 7 days of every month. I took starting photos and will be uploading those.

I don't typically join too many challenges, I'm more of a lurker but this one is pretty easy to do and stick with.

This time my daughter is joining me for the challenge. She doesn't want to "officially" join, but I'm going to post her starting picture and stats anyway. She is relaxed and at shoulder length. She wants to see if she can really grow and retain an inch in a month.

The first picture is her starting length for December 2013 and the second picture is mine.

ETA: We both used my homemade version of the Hairdrenaline potion which contains biotin and MSM which are known growth aids. I want to see if I can gain more than 1 inch this time around.

 

[newgrowth15]

Beautifulwildflower, since your numbers are different on each side of your lines, which ones do you actually use for measuring?

 

[Beautifulwildflower]

Day 1 just completed. @Beautifulwildflower. I've been thinking recently to make my own. $12 could be used to get 9 pieces of Jewellery i so badly need or another bottle of Paltas product.

I say save the $12, because jewelry is a necessity for a woman's well being . And I'm not saying that because I'm a jewelry designer (taking a break, tho) either . What is Paltas?

@Beautifulwildflower, since your numbers are different on each side of your lines, which ones do you actually use for measuring?

@newgrowth15, the numbers on the right is how long my hair is measuring from my nape, so my hair is about 18" long. It would be like putting in 10" weave tracks all over, well my hair is about 18" all over. The left side is how many inches my hair is growing. I did it that way, because I not only want to know how much growth I have, but also how long my hair is whether it's 18", 20", 24" and so on.

[SimJam]

newgrowth15 could you please share your homemade hairdrenaline mix ... TIA

No straightening is necessary, you could just pull down a section and give us an idea of your starting length at different section of your hair.
