    I've been doing inversion method every other day when I oil my hair. Haven't noticed any extraordinary growth.

    I'll give it a go I've been getting more growth than normal lately anyway though, so I'm not sure if I'll get any results but I figure it can't hurt much to try!
    No trims in 2014! 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12!

    I'm skeptical, but 4 minutes a day won't take much out of my usual routine. So why not?

    Today is Day 1. Standard length measure is 28". Shortest layer on the top of my head is 14" (root to tip).

    I am not going to use oil, since my scalp is sensitive. I will skip inversion tomorrow since I am donating platelets this evening. That usually makes me a little light-headed the day after.

    Day 2 will be Saturday.

    Hm... I invert all the time in my Aerial dancing -- I wonder if it's affecting my hair growth at all =P

    Most people on here are younger but if you have high blood pressure or retinal problems especially history of detachment or if you have glaucoma it can be dangerous but if you are young and healthy it should be no problem.Since I have the retinal problems listed, I only do a manual scalp massage with those funny looking spider shaped massagers from Bed and bath.And at 61 my hair grows about an inch a month,good nutrition,and daily cardio also help the circulation so add that too ,while also doing your inversion .Good luck!

    I measured 3x times and kept getting 26 7/8. I did my first inverted massage with argan oil. My mom got some and she have me a bit today. It smells sooooo good. I need to get some of my own now! Oh, and the first time in a week my scalp has not itched! Lets hope all this oiling resets my scalp... and that my hair really does grow! If anything I would love to just get to the 27" mark sooner rather than later!

    I did it last month for only three days (I skipped a day and lost motivation) and ended the month with an extra quarter inch! That's a lot for a slow grower like me. I'm doing it again this week for the full seven days to see if there was anything to it or if it was just a random growth spurt. I don't use any oil, I just massage for three to five minutes and hang my head off the edge of my bed for four. Playing a song about that length makes it seem to go faster.

    I learned my lesson the hard way... my mom did not have pure argan oil, it was a 'hair treatment' with argan oil 4th on the list. I have been suffering from a migraine ever since. I liked the smell in the beginning, but now even after a wash, the smell is still there and I can seem to completely kick it. Normally I dont think it would be this bad, but I forgot to take my migraine prevention meds 2 nights ago, so that might have played into it. If the migraine is still here tonight, I will skip the inversion, but still do a oil massage.

    Oh, the good thing though is that I have been wanting to make a magnesium oil body butter, as topical application is suppose to help absorb magnesium better than pills, which is what part of my migraine prevention meds. I have not had one in a month so I thought I might have finally gotten over them (we thought pregnancy/hormone related and I gave birth 3 months ago) so it was not high priority. But now I think it is, so that means I get to buy shea butter and play with making hair butters too!
