How to Use the Inversion Method to Grow Hair?

Hi Girls,

Recently I have heard so much about Inversion Method to Grow your hair, so I did my research on this and found this step by step process which may help you girls too, who want to grow their hair and struggling with hair fall....hope this helps:)

Want to regrow hair or grow hair faster? One of the most popular ways to do this is through the inversion method. First, you apply oils to your scalp and then you hang your head upside down for a short period of time. Practitioners argue that the increased blood flow to your scalp reinvigorates dormant hair follicles, thus increasing growth. No scientific evidence exists that proves or disproves the inversion method's ability to regrow hair or to grow hair faster on normal scalps. For every success story touting the wonders of the inversion method, there is another debunking its claims. Doctors tend to explain purported results as the product of better hygiene and relaxation, not as the result of some miracle method. Either way, why not try it for yourself?

Part 1 of 2: Applying Oil to Your Head

1. Choose your oil. There is not one agreed upon oil for the inversion method. Try olive oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, or Moroccan argon oil, if you want to use natural ingredients.

· Choose oil with an aroma that you find soothing. Since the inversion method incorporates massage, pick scented oil that you find relaxing.

2 Warm up oil. Warm up around 3-4 tbsp oil. Take a cup of hot water and place your oil bottle in it. You can get this water from the sink. Let the oil sit for a minute or so until it is warm to the touch. Your goal is to increase blood flow to your scalp. Warmer oil will increase the blood retention in your scalp cells. Do not overheat the oil. You don’t want to burn your scalp.

3 Apply oil to your scalp. If you’ve experienced hair loss, make sure that you cover your problem areas first, and then proceed to cover the remainder of your scalp. Make sure that you cover your entire scalp with a thin layer of oil. It doesn't take a lot of oil to achieve full coverage.

4 Comb the oil through the rest of your hair. If your hair tends to split or break, try to spread oil to all of your hair. Hair splits or breaks when it is short on moisture and nutrients. Natural oils will help replenish both.

• If you have curly hair, be gentle or avoid this step altogether. You don’t want to pull out more hair in the process.

Part 2 of 2: Stimulating Your Hair Follicles

 

1 Massage gently. With the tips of your fingers, knead your scalp. Move your fingers in little circles - clockwise and then counterclockwise. Don't be afraid to use your palms in addition to your fingers. Your palms can apply pressure to a greater area at one time.

• Focus on your problem areas, but don’t forget about the rest of your scalp. Do not massage too hard or you might unintentionally rip out hair or damage hair follicles. Massage for 4 minutes and then stop.     

2 Tip your head upside down. You can do this over a sink or bathtub. Alternatively, you could choose to sit upside down in a chair with your legs over the back of the chair. No matter how you choose to do it, let your hair hang loosely and hold your head at a comfortable angle. Your goal is to find a comfortable position and to relax.

3 Hold this position for 4 minutes. This step allows the oils to seep further into your scalp and to bring blood to your scalp. Take deep breaths. Clear your mind. Relax. This step resembles meditation.

4 Sit back up. You don't want to remain upside down too long. It can cause an unhealthy spike in blood pressure.

• Do not try the inversion method if you have low or high blood pressure, a detached retina, an ear infection, a spinal injury, heart problems, a hernia, or are pregnant. The inversion position itself could exacerbate your condition or cause further injury.

5. Consider leaving the oil on for a longer period of time. If you have an incredibly dry scalp, this might be a good decision. Some suggest leaving it in your hair for a couple of hours or even overnight.

• Take a plastic bag and cover your hair so you don't get any oil on your clothes, furniture, or bed. You can use a normal grocery bad or purchase a plastic wrap meant for hair treatments. You can purchase these from any beauty shop.
• If you decide to leave the oil in your hair for longer period of time, know that it could make your scalp and hair too oily. This could cause your follicles to clog up rather than grow new hair.

6 Wash your hair. Be sure to completely rinse out all the leftover oil. If you miss a spot, it will be far "greasier" than the other parts of your head. Make sure that you don’t use a harsh shampoo. Harsher shampoos (with a pH higher than 7) will strip your hair’s natural oils. Shampoos like L'Oreal EverCreme Intense Nourishing or Heads and Shoulders work well. Generally, any shampoo geared towards dry scalps has lower pH balances.

7 Repeat every 3-4 weeks. Depending on your personal condition, you might find it helpful to perform this treatment every 3 weeks. Repeated use at a higher frequency could make your hair too oily and may even clog your hair follicles, further reducing your hair growth potential.

• Results will vary based on the person. Some may see results after the first use while others with more chronic follicle problems may not see results for several months.

So what do you think girls, are you going to give it a try? I will try this for sure. I have curly hair, and it does not grow that much. So I am definitely going to try this technique. But no technique works if you are stressed and do not eat or sleep well. Its all about taking care of you :)

Enjoy and Smile always:)

11 things your lips say about You

Happy Monday Girlies, I have such an interesting post to share today, I read it recently on MSN" 11 things your lips say about you " Your lip print is more useful than leaving behind a sexy stain on your Starbucks cup or leaving a this-is-so-embarrassing mark on your nephew's cute chubby cheeks. In fact, they actually reveal a ton about your personality. And since we're as curious as a smelly cat (Friends reference—anyone?), we tapped lipsologist Ariana/Anna Snodgrass, a Jilly Eddy-certified lipsologist, to find out just how much our lips are really saying. So go and layer on your favorite shade (for ultrasoft lips, we're obsessed with GLAMGLOWs new Lip Duo—a fizzy lip treatment for exfoliation, and lip balm for tons of moisture), grab a piece of paper and pucker up. Then take a look at the list below to find out what your kisser says. First there's your shape to consider...

Open in the Centre, but closed on the sides :

 

 

You're open to new experiences and love to find random of-the-moment adventures. If you notice your print is really open—more than 1.5 inches tall and 2.25 inches wide, if we're getting technical—consider yourself the life of the party that everyone wants to be around.


Open corners

You're easily bored and need to keep busy in order to feel satisfied. You may enjoy bouncing from task to task, rather than finishing one thing before moving on to the next, because it keeps your brain stimulated and moving in all different directions. 


Square or rectangle

 

 

More than anything, you really love to nurture others (hello, mum of the year!). Which makes sense, since everyone likes to turn to you when working out a big problem. People tend to gravitate toward you because you're grounded and often considered reliable—nobody can accuse you of blowing off an important event...or even ditching your weekly workout with the girls. 


Oval or round

 

 


You're a diplomat or peacekeeper (not the ones in Hunger Games, mind you), and try to avoid conflict at all cost. Some might say you're a bit of a push-over, but we say you're just really good at seeing things from everyone's point of view before making a decision. You're a pro at diffusing tense situations, and likely find time in your day to meditate, as you know how beneficial it can be. 


Triangle

 

If you've ever doubted your ability to lead a team, well, stop that right now. You're really good at recognizing talent in others, and can foster that talent to create a productive, nurturing work environment. Take a closer look at your upper lip, too—if it's fuller than the bottom, you're also a great listener. More fullness on the bottom means you tend to be very generous and give back to the community.


Wavy

 

 

Your lip print doesn't fit into one particular shape, which speaks volumes about your creativity. You love to think outside the box, and aren't afraid to try something crazy on the off-chance it just might succeed. And then size (yep, it really does matter)...

 

If your print is small (1-1.75" wide, .75-1.06" high): You're a very detail-oriented woman, and pay close attention to deadlines. You thrive on projects that require a close watch on budget (you may or may not secretly jump for joy when you come under it), and are careful when making any big-time decisions.

 

If your print is medium-sized (1.75-2.25" wide, .875-1.75" high): Hey there, busy lady! You love having a million balls to juggle, and are a pro at keeping each one in the air. Multitasking might as well be your middle name, so you may feel a little lost when there aren't a lot of things to tackle on your to-do list.

 

If your print is large (2.25-3" wide, 1.5-3" high): Go big or go home is your life motto. If you can't do it right the first time, you don't want to do it at all. Throwing big events or taking the lead on a noteworthy project at work excites you, as you like to give the proper care and attention large-scale commitments require.


If your top lip is fuller than the bottom

You're a great listener, but don't have time for long-winded rants or explanations—you'd rather just get to the point and find a solution quickly. And if you notice fine, white lines appearing on your upper lip and trickling down vertically, then take note—those are called spirit lines, and they signal a strong spiritual side or a feeling of personal connection to something "bigger" than yourself. 


If your bottom lip is fuller than the top

 

Generosity is your middle name, and it's not just about financially giving for you—sharing your ideas, thoughts, skills, and resources is just as important. Oh, and pay attention to those little white lines you took note of before—they can also signal stress. If they trickle horizontally (rather than vertically) from the center of the lower lip and travel outward, then you're likely dealing with a lot of stress (same goes for a dark outline around your lips. If you see it, you're overwhelmed and need to slow down before taking on more work). The good news is that it's stress you can control, so sit back and evaluate the best steps you can take toward finding a solution. If those same horizontal lines are appearing on your upper lip though, take a deep breath. That's stress you don't have a lot of control over, so there may be something happening that you need to work on worrying about less.

Hope you enjoyed, Have a great week ahead. Do share your shape and what personality are you, are you really like that?

I am first one:)   Open in centre

Cheers

Swatches for WetnWild Silk Finish lipsticks

Review:-

Wet n Wild recently revamped their Silk Finish lipsticks, they were in silver tubes and they are now replaced with black plastic tubes. I have used some of Silk Finish and I was curious to see if the formula changed as well. I got few of the colors, which I don't think are new as I saw them earlier too. They are variety of finishes and colors for everyone, from glossy to cream finished. I got few glossy ones and few cream ones. I am not a fan of glossy ones, just because I don't like glossy finish but the color pay off on both the finishes are really great.

These are enriched with conditioning ingredients of vitamins A & E and aloe vera for moist looking lips.The application is very smooth since it is so moisturizing and it looks great. Only downside of these lipsticks are you have to apply more often, they are not long lasting lipsticks. They are around 99c in all drugstore or Wal-Mart. They are perfect for budget friendly makeup, as you can good color payoff from these. For some of these pigmentation is super awesome.

I am really impressed that a 99cent lipstick lasts as long as a more expensive lipstick. They last a few hours now, it but it fades quickly.

Swatches:-

Mink Brown is dark chocolate brown color, no shimmer or gloss at all. It si a cream finish lipstick and the texture is very smooth.

 

Retro Red is straight up red color gorgeous on any skin tone, one true red color with blue undertone, which will look good on anyone.

 

Blind Date is  gorgeous purple berry. This is one of the new colors. Reminds me of the Sugar Plum Fairy shade in the megalast line perfect for fall and winter.

 

Blushing Bali is a peachy pink with slight shimmer. Super pretty and wearable for every day.

 

Retro Pink is pretty pink color with glossy finish as well.

 

Hot Paris Pink is prettiest of all, I love this one. This is coral pink color , cream finish lipstick.
