Omg, my neck n facial tension makes me wanna hang from my hair so bad. It seems like it would be such a relief from the pain i have daily. Im constantly pulling on my ponytail to relieve the tension for even 5 seconds. I feel like just hanging there for 10 mins would be a dream!

[@katerawsaerialist844]

Yessss! Congrats Erin Blaire for getting into Ripley's! So proud of your and all your hard work. Thank you for all your creativity and inspiration

[@usedjellyfish]

Really admire people who can push their bodies like this. Awesome 👌

This is weird. Your scalp POPS off?? Wonder how great your headaches are going to be in 30 years. This is ick.

I liked it till she said "it pops"

[@amethyst1826]

Yeah, that made my skin crawl!!

[@ThundermansThunder]

Why not just use a harness to bear the weight? The acrobatics are beautiful, but the risk of hanging by your hair just makes me feel too squeamish to enjoy it, and I am sure that I am not alone. I am not suggesting that it should be banned or never done, I am just questioning the wisdom of doing it from my personal point of view.

I can agree with you here.

She may lose her hair doing this often.

[@jennabateman1500]

Her hair line will be so far back in like a year of doing this.

[@1javixD]

I don’t think she has the right hair type.

[@akaMyThought]

I Bet people with Scoliosis in a Halo-Gravity Machine would be pro's at this!

[@EchanteDante]

Do you have to weigh a certain amount and test your skin’s elasticity? Just curious

[@mariebendel2020]

1 hair can hold 100 g, you have ~150000, so not really a weight limit

[@laurentien00]

She is amazing and her acts are just awesome. Look at her muscularity, we can see how strong she is. Superb.

[@jaquelynhernandez4769]

1st off- you are amazing! 2nd- what products did you use to keep your hair so stiff when you were preparing it? I always have fly aways and that stuff looks amazing

[@amethyst1826]

I wonder if it causes facial wrinkles?
Not something you want to do if you are prone to migraines!

[@Daria-dq9qf]

Please tell me how to weave hair correctly?

[@amberfrazier575]

The olaplex line would really help her hair health.
