Inversion Challenge November 2013-November 2014

I got so frustrated trying to snap pics and measure at the same time so I resorted to clipping the tape measure to my hair at the scalp with a black snap type hair clip..it worked. Now I have figure how to post from my phone. Inverting was the easy part.:lol:

Same thing happened to me yesterday, i asked my SO and my frustration was over.
 
Day 1 completed.
I didn't use any oils today but i will in the coming days. I just finished braiding my hair, took all of 9hrs (i stopped to cook) its not professionally done so i'll see how long i will keep these in before getting tired of them. I'm aiming for 7 weeks i doubt i'll make it though.
 
Not happy with my hair lately, so here goes....

Natural/Relaxed: Relaxed
Current Length: No clue
Goal Length: Whip
Oil of choice: Coconut and NJOY's sulfur oil

Day 1 and I messed up already. Went to the Mint Condition concert last night and got all caught up in the GHOE festivities. So I am about to boil some water to warm my oils now. I'll invert in just a few minutes. Feeling a little hangover-ish and hoping the inversion does not cause a headache. Fingers crossed...
 
I am practicing the inversion method long-term too, only I started and completed my first week already in the previous inversion thread. I will be beginning again in bit less than 3 weekd (22nd).

As I have mentioned, I will not be measuring (too much shrinkage). Currently I am at BSL. Wanna reach MBL by May next year. :)
 
im getting a scalp hair massager for the next round of inversion in December , its dirt cheap. sometimes my nail polish has a slight chip and pulls my hair

Jobwright, nevermind just carry over a extra day and finish on the 8th that way you'll get the full 7 days. I
 
Day 2: Prepooed with Coconut oil and applied the NG Mega Growth Oil onto my scalp. Massaged for a couple minutes, inverted for five minutes by bending over.
 
Natural/Relaxed: Relaxed Current Length: 2 inches above APL Goal Length: BSL for November 2014 :) Oil of Choice: Coconut Oil/JBCO mix I hope I'll get rid of the headache I had from it.... still 3 days to go ^^

Naphy, if you get headaches, stop until they subside or reduce time. Safety is first!

Yes.... I didn't do it yesterday and today. I guess the inversion method is not for me :'( (and my head still hurts as hell :perplexed)

Yep safety first..
 
Uh... Please don't do it on a full stomach. I kinda made that mistake. Lol

Lol I know what you mean. I just did that. I'm a little queezy but it will pass.

Day 2 complete.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your headache goes away. Maybe you should try a different way to invert next time.
 
Since it's so close to my relaxer date, I'll wait until the next challenge upgrade to enter.
*saving my spot for the Dec. 1st round*
 
I find inverting before bed and putting on my bonnet works because before when my hair was free, it had too much body and made it look like my hair was standing up and had to smooth it down, the bonnet keeps it contained
