Inversion Challenge November 2013-November 2014

[Lilmama1011]

lilmama What does that mean......did you forget to invert (start) yesterday?

Yes, I had did my hair yesterday so I forgot, so I guess I will be a day off from everyone else. I will do it tonight before getting into bed, I hope my serum with the msm came from komaza came , that would be perfect to out on my scalp and stimulate growth PureSilver

I might just put the same pics that input earlier on here because in November when I had inverted I did a trim like an idiot and and didn't think to take pics before inverting, but I stretched my hair yesterday after washing and it's back at the same length before a trim so the back is at my collar bone and my from is at the exact length at the beginning of apl

 

[PureSilver]

I did not start yesterday either.
I was feeling under the weather (head cold).

Day 1 will be tonight.

yaya24 Lilmama1011 No worries it just means that for your 7 days you will finish a day later which is sunday. As long as you are oiling and inverting thats all that matters. Massaging and warming the oil are pluses to the method.

I started last night. I did not do any pics or measurements. I think I will make sure to measure next month and record a three-month result. DD had already gone to bed so she will be one day off. I massaged with warmed castor oil for four minutes then sat upside down on the couch for four minutes. Doing the same tonight.

Okay so I did inversion last night well early hours of the morning just held my head upside down. Didn't massages as much as I could've dive was way too tired, also I didn't use any oil. Pic is my hair Length atm hopefully I'll see some gid results later in the week. I plan to use sweet almond oil tonight and have a good massage I need a much help as I possibly can with one month left of the year. Scary



It's not great quality in afraid but it'll do

I'm semi participating. All I know is that it feels good for my upper back and neck. I let my arms hang down and it seems to stretch out my upper spine. That is an incentive for me to continue to participate, but it also makes me want to do it everyday day.

 

[Lilmama1011]

I'm still trying to decide whether I want to do the leaning over sink thing, I don't see how blood runs to the head unless putting your head in the sink, but the leaning back on the bed and going blind for a few seconds sounds scary even though it had never happened to me before

When yal warming your oil, yal keeping it in the bottle and putting it in tap hot water in a cup, boiling water in a cup or microwaving (I don't want to microwave because I hear it changes the oil and takes away the goodness lol)

 

[YaniraNaturally]

^I usually warm the water in the microwave and then put my bottled oil in after.

But honestly most of the time I'm lazy and warm it in my hands

I microwave a cup of water like a thick mug first and then take the cup out and place the bottle inside the cup for like 5 minutes.

I also find it very relaxing, I do a downward facing dog type pose for 5 minutes or hang my head over the bed if Im lazy

I started day 1 last night. I'm in a weave now and will be through January. I started the inversion method back in October. I did take measurements then and I will post measurements at the end of January to determine growth over a 3 month period.

 

[Nix08]

Started last night on my medicine ball. I had a headache and it felt soothing to invert but my headache was worse when I finished I'm back to it tonight.

Day 2 complete with warmed NJoy oil

Forgot to post. But I inverted yesterday for 3 minutes after a scalp massage. No oil because my hair ir straightened and I need this to last another week. I will be inverting again tonight

I dont have pics, but I know ive grown a good amount. I straightened and got a trim in august. Since then, ive gained back all that was trimmed by the stylist and myself. I got another trim this go around (slowly getting rid of bad ends) and my hair is still considerably longer than expected. Im sold

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

SimJam I'd be happy to share.

16 oz. castor oil
4 Tbs. black tea (I use the loose black tea leaves I get from the Indian grocer in my area.)
1 Tbs. cayenne pepper
30 capsules of Super Potent Biotin (break open and use only the powder)
1 Tbs. MSM Powder (The Vitamin Shoppe brand--it's made with OptiMSM)
2 droppersful of onion seed oil (ordered from Amazon)
2 droppersful of garlic seed oil (ordered from Amazon)

Preheat over to 200 degrees.
Pour all ingredients (except the onion and garlic seed oils) into a glass baking dish. Stir thoroughly.
Let the oils infuse in the oven for 5 hours.
After the oil cools completely, stir and strain through a white or light colored knee high stocking stretched over a 32 oz. plastic tumbler.
Add the onion seed oil and garlic seed oil to the strained oil.
Store in a dark glass container in a cool, dry place.

I make this recipe in large batches so I only need to make it once or twice a year. I put some of the oil into a plastic color applicator bottle with a nozzle and apply it directly to my scalp as needed. I never apply this oil directly to my hair as it is very drying. However, I have gotten good growth with this oil. I add lavender essential oil to my mix, because this oil does not have a very pleasant fragrance on it's own.

If you make it, let me know how it turns out for you.

Finished day 2

 

[Ogoma]

Day 2 down. 5 mins never felt so long. I felt like I was mating up my roots.

I didn't even get a good starting pic so I wouldn't know if worked or not. My bra was all lopsided. I will just take measurements next time or make a stripped t-shirt. I am not good with the picture thing.

 

[ChasingBliss]

Day 2 done. Was a bit hard due to the pain of my surgery...but I inverted sitting down.

 

[hair4today]

Not feeling well right now...stuffy nose, watery eyes and all of that so really don't feel up to hanging upside down. Will join you ladies in progress when I feel better.

 

[ManiiSweetheart]

Day 2 complete.
Massaged for 2 minutes
Inverted over my bed for 4

 

[newgrowth15]

Day 2 complete for both mother and daughter. I didn't add any oil tonight because when I warmed it last night, a lot came out of the applicator tip unexpectedly. I may be able to skip oiling tomorrow night too. Tonight, I sat on the side of the bed with my head bent down over my knees.

 

[MsKinkycurl]

Day one complete for me. I did inversion for only 4 days in October. I swear I got 0.5 inches. I want to see if I get a growth spurt this time.

 

[MonaRae]

Days 3 & 4 done.

 

[yaya24]

Day 1 done!

 

[LaNecia]

Just finished Day 2. My scalp really starts itching when I do the massage and itches until about 10-15 minutes after I invert. I hope that's a good sign. :crossfingers: Looks like I'll be solo this month. I haven't been getting a chance to do it until DD is in bed.

 

[PureSilver]

Day 2 completed 4 hours ago.....was too lazy to check in.
