I tried the inversion method once a few weeks ago. I only used oil on the first day - otherwise I'd just look a mess until my next washing). Not sure if it did anything but it felt great! I read, whether or not it speeds hair growth, that scalp massages strengthen the hair follicle leading to reduced breakage in the future. All good things! If you have increased shedding, like I did, it's likely hair that was on its way to being shed anyway and you're clearing he rubble for new sprouts!

That's the one I ordered, in the green container! I'm going to mix it into my bamboo tea today.

Yep, even if the inversion method doesn't do as it says, I will still do the scalp massages - feels too good not to!

Oh I didn't think to say that I take grass fed gelatin and drink bone broth. Because I do that for general health. But I could have mentioned it before and not remember.

Do you think it helps hair growth too? I am also looking forward to better sleep, help for some arthritis I have in my elbow, and better looking skin. I might have to get my hubby to take it too if it really does work!

I know it is highly recommended.....but I can't guarantee it, lol. When I am being good I go by the AIP plan which includes those two things. You can Google and see what all it is good for. They say hair and nails. I take it for my digestion and immune system.

The collagen works well mixed into hot chocolate! No taste at all, thank goodness!

I have a new hair length goal. It was BSL, but now I'm going for waist or TBL. I really like the v hemline, and I think it would feel too short if I did that on BSL hair.

I think new hair length goals are a side effect of LHC. I know mine is now TBL too; when I first joined I thought I wanted BSL or maybe waist. I still want a blunt hemline though.

I totally agree about it being a side effect of LHC!! I like the blunt hemline too! Actually, I like them all. Ok, I might be undecided now, but I do have plenty of time to figure it out.

I love all hemlines.

V hemline is very beautiful, I just don't like ends sticking out of my updos and I'm not very patient with stray ends. So blunt it is for me. But you have plenty of time, no need to rush.

Right now, I have the remains of my pixie layers that are growing out. The shortest layers are finally to the bottoms of my ears, with the longest layers now reaching my shoulders. I'm guessing that it will look better with more length, but I did get a compliment on it the other day, so it must still look okay

I do like my hemline softer, but not necessarily full on fairytale ends. Somewhere in the middle of a soft U and fairytales at TBL is where I want to be.

Hello fellow growers! It's been such a long time...I won't have any recent photos until wash day, but hey! I think I am officially ready to graduate; the tips of my hair keep getting caught under my arm, yay!

Today, APL; tomorrow, BSL; Friday, Classic!

If only...

Happy growing and see you at the next length!
