Long post!

Ok ladies. I'm getting alittle hype. I think I see sum growth! !!

I decided to M&S part of the back of my hair and brush it out (like naptural85 hair tutorial on a heatless blowout) and I was delightfully surprised at the growth and the overall health of my hair. I haven't straighten my hair in over 6mths so I really don't know the condition of my ends.

The tail of my hair is measuring 13in and my sides are 11.5 (remained the same). I had cut my hair last month b/c I thought my ends were bad and to give my hair shape. The tail was barely 12. I'm also able to do my own LC.

I'll edit this post in a min to upload sum pics. It could be all in my head, but i am happy to be doing my own LC.

I missed the last 2 days of inversions due to being sick so I will get back to it next month the week of 2/3

Since I bought a length check shirt I can start doing my monthly/bimonthly updates with pics. I inverted from the 1st until the 7th this month. I will take a pic later today to get my starting length for the year.

Good question. My first week inverting won't start until tomorrow, but I will not measure my hair again until the end of March.

I've been on the inversion kick since 2013. Consistency is key, but even with me missing some days per session here and there I feel like it works.

My most recent Big chop (1- 1.5 inches all around) was October 2014. October 2014 vs October 2015 comparison below:

Oct 2014


Oct 2015

Day 1 completed
Massaged 2 minutes
Inverted 4 minutes

I have a picture of one of my mini twists on the left side of my head. This very small section is between 11.5 and 12 inches. I will be taking all of my twists down Friday or Saturday. I will measure again after I invert Saturday. I didn't take measurements from different areas because I'm tired. No oil was used during the massage.

Inversion Day 1 was completed yesterday. I inverted for 4 minutes under my baggy using:

• L = L.A.C.E. Ayurvedic Hair & Scalp Mist
• C = Hawaiian Silky 10 n 1
• O = Orofluido on length & Sunny Isle JBCO on edges
• B = Siamese Twists Pracaxi Peach ButterCreme on ends & Hairitage Hydration Horsetail Butter on scalp

I will use these same products & timeframe through Thursday. My products will change on Friday & Saturday, but the timeframe will remain the same.
