1. Growth aid
Leaving my hair alone.

2. Shampoo/Cleanser
Elucence Acidifying - a natural, concentrated, non-stripping cleanser, chelator and clarifier all in one.

3. Deep Conditioner
It’s hard to list just one! However, if pushed, it would have to be Bobeam’s Condish. This conditioner is absolutely sick.

4. Protein treatment (hard/soft)
Mill Creek Biotin Conditoner because it’s cheap and highly effective.

5. Leave-in conditioner
PBN Muru Muru or Sapote (SN UHT is a close second).

6. Sealer (butter/oil/grease)
Nothing beats castor oil...even JBCO. :look:

7. Protective style
Either 2 to 3 air dried Celie braids or an air dried ponytail. I can loosen, fluff, slap on a headband and go. Or, leave it as-is for “I’m in the comfort of my own home, so don’t bother me” ease.

@nothidden , how long do you invert for and how often?...laarve Bentonite clay, did my hair well before BC :)
Hey. I did this method for 7 days for a few months this spring/summer. Growth was sporadic but evident. I'm in the 12" in 12 months 2016 challenge which kicks off on 12/1, so the plan is to do it every month for a year.
