Grow your hair fast!! The INVERSION METHOD hairxperiment

Hi there,
    I heard about this method some weeks ago and I have been dying to try it out, just to see if it actually works. I checked You tube and some other black hair care blogs and the claims were the same: Grow 1 inch of hair in just 7 days!!!! I knew I had to try it out. I was a little bit scared because all the blogs and vlogs kept cautioning anyone who cares to  try it about possible health risks and contra indications. After just the slightest bit of hesitation I gave in to my curiosity and I tried it out starting from 1st-7th October. It  felt like hard work and I was so glad when it ended.

The Inversion method
In simple terms this method is when You  reverse blood flow from other parts of your body to your head by inclining your head at a low angle coupled with a hot oil massage of your scalp. You can only do it for 7 consecutive days and no more than once every 4 weeks.

CAUTION:
Do not attempt if you are pregnant, have hernia, low or high blood pressure, heart or circulatory problems, glaucoma, conjunctivitis, spinal cord  injury, swollen joints, osteoporosis, unhealed fractures or injuries, an ear infection, are obese, or are otherwise unhealthy.

 After checking that I had none of the aforementioned conditions I went ahead to:

• Heat up some castor oil mixed with coconut oil
• Then I massaged it into my entire scalp for 4 minutes
• I lowered my head for 4 minutes over my kitchen sink as if I was going to wash it (Remember  the definition of  inversion?)
• When I was done I put on a shower cap (ghe method) and went to bed
• I washed with African black soap every 2 days because my hair felt really sticky and heavy
• I did this for only7 days

The results
The claims were 1 inch of hair after 7 days so on the 7th day I eagerly did a length check and this is what I found

Did it work for me? To be honest I'm not sure. I can see an increase in length( or are my eyes deceiving me?) but it isn't 1 inch maybe a quarter of an inch or half in some places. I didn't follow the rules perfectly though (typical I sabi-pass-my-teacher Nigerian lol). Extra virgin olive oil is recommended but since I didn't have any I used castor oil mixed with coconut oil. I also didn't lean over a sink after the first 2 days( I felt the position wasn't hard enough) Instead I did one funny kind of lying-down-with-my-head-dangling-down-the-edge-of-the-sofa position the last 5 days. Will I give this method another chance? YES!! Only this time I will play by the rules. December seems like a good month to try again. Sadly I didn't comb or detangle my hair the entire period of this hairxperiment. After conditioning and shampooing I had a lot of tangles and single strand knots. I tried my best to detangle but I ended up with ALOT of breakage and shedding undoing all the

Imagined growth! :-( 

 

I harvested this from my poor head :-(

I'm currently researching single strand knots and how to avoid them. I'll hopefully tell you about that next.

 

Ps.

Please do not try this method if you have any of the conditions listed above!
