I'm completely clueless, but I figured that it was worth trying.

I'm clueless but only because I don't LC and not to mention I have cut my hair twice since starting. I figure I'd know soon enough though because if I'm back to my pre - cut length before August, I will know for sure because I am tupically a slow grower.

Day 1 and Day 2 done. I forgot to post on Sunday and Monday. Hopefully, I will remember to come back in tonight to post for day 3. I used Argan and Castor oils to massage my scalp. I am hoping for good results this time around.
Channy31, neither the oil nor the massage are necessary, but they do help you to feel relaxed. I have done the inversion without doing either when my hair was in a braided style and I still achieved good results. HTH.

scalp massages feel good but not when you worrying about tangling it with your fingers. with that ^ i can hold the length and do it i assume

Day 3 complete.
I used the Argan and Castor oil mixture I made and I tried the scalp massage where I moved my forehead rather than my hair. It was really nice and relaxing and I felt my scalp tingling and itching afterwards. I inverted bent at the waist leaning with my forearms on my bed and my head hanging down.

Ha Ha! nagasbabi, I have experienced hair growth in those areas, but for me it's because I am in the "getting more awesome as the years go by" stage of my life, Lol! But I don't think it's because of the inverting.

Hey ladies hope everyone is getting some kind of result be it growth or thickness.
I forgot to post but I did complete my inversions on Sunday. I did the twice daily ones 5 out of 7 days.
No idea if this is working but will give it one more shot next month then go back to once daily.

I hate all you guys:
1) I'm not even in this challenge
2) I've been on this board for 5+ years and should know better
3) DH is going to be so upset with this purchase, as if flipping over the bed wasn't good enough
Ah well! Happy growing ;-D

Lilmama1011 and Pennefeather, after some review of my notes and pics I have discovered hair (or my hair) growth has not been tremendously affected by the inversion method as far as the "gain a inch per 7 days" go. Since November I have gained 2 1/4" in 5 months (I cut 1/4" in January) so that is 1/2" - 3/4" per month. That is about the normal hair growth rate. Thankfully I'm retaining the length.
I'm currently not sure if inverting has anything to do with my newfound hair thickness or if it is the vitamins and exercise (I bike, bowl and roller skate). I decided to do my own little test and invert every day til May (3 months) based upon this article, http://www.hairtodaytheretomorrow.co...loss/#comments and see if I can squeeze out 3" by May. By then I can access if inverting has any merit for my hair.
If not I can say this much, it totally relieves the tension in my back and neck and for that I love it.

I'll have to back off inversion. My new growth has been tangling when I massage my scalp.had to wet my hair this morning to detangle in the shower and low bun it. I'll see if it is possible to massage bunned hair.
@ halfindian, FYI, This hair tutorial shows the proper way to massage your scalp so that you will have no tangles, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ8xHsnMa2Y.
Hope this helps

It's amazing what consistency can do. I need to stop falling off and remain focused. Here is another video of her inversion results. Thanks for sharing too ManeStreet.

Okay so for March I have gained length, I just don't know how much. Allow me to explain. My haircuts in braids and growing like a weed. Normally I find it easy to track how fast my hair grows because I can take out the same braids to see however when I took out the braid that I took out last month, twice within a one week period which I measure t 4.25" and 5.25" respectfully, I was shocked and confused because last night I measured it at 8.25 (about .25"-.50" were several lead hairs). I redo the back perimeter almost weekly because I sweat up a storm at the gym and my hair is fine ad silky, especially in the back and ithe sweat and oils collect there and can cause crazy breakage. My braids are secure, no slippage so the braids at the neck never hang and very rarely does it actually show growth since they are redone almost weekly. I am not sure what is going on but I am going to just start measuring from the very bottom braid so I won't ever have to second guess my measurements. I don't want to claim to get all this length and when I take out my braids for a progress pic it's only grown like 2"... I see from my tattoos on my neck that it is the exact same section that I measured last month which would mean that it grew approximately 3". I mean I'll take it if that's the case but I don't want to get too excited until I remove any and all doubt. I'll keep you ladies posted.
