Exactly, her book has ALOT of imcomplete thoughts. When I was reading her book, I was like
and that's how I found LHCF because she was not convincing enough for me and right there are wayyyyy better heads of hair on this board, that grew their hair from above shoulder length to past bsl in a year...sooo ummm. I pay Mrs. Howse no nevermind....I do use her Dew mist though and I likey but everything else she basically says...I zip right past...she is too ego strung for me...you should read the question and answer sections on her website, she's getting smart with ppl and stuff. Just my 2 1/2 cents
Her question and answer section highly amuses me. For instance:
5. Up until last year, I did not have a perm, but it got very hot here (90-110 for two month straight) and I made a decision to perm my hair. Yes, I had a lot of damage to my hair after switching from a child's relaxer to a regular relaxer. Now, I am going back to pressing my hair. Do you think that women who do not perm their hair can grow long hair successfully while pressing it?
"One thing that I tell people is that you CAN NOT change products without expecting to have some problems."
Translation: You cannot stop using MY products or you will have problems!
"You caused the breakage in your hair because of choices you made. When you decide on a product, stick with it. Some products were not designed to work together!"
Translation: My products are THE BEST. Using anything but them will make your hair fall out.
"The main problem that over 80% of the Black population has is a dry hair condition. My system is a moisture balance system that alleviates dry hair that breaks."
Translation: I have not done a statistical analysis on this so I really am pulling this number out of my ass. This would require me going out and personally testing the hair of a very large sample of black women, which I have not done. I'm just gonna assume that 80% of the black population does not use my fine products and thus they MUST have dry hair.
16. Is there anything that you recommend in the way of a creme moisturizer that I can use as well as your moisturizer? I've tried QP Elastra Oil Moisturizer, Luster's Pink Lotion, and others. My hair soaks it up, but I don't want my hair to me weighed down.
"Unfortunately, all crèmes will weigh the hair down but I still use them when I need oils to help lock in moisture.
5/19 UPDATE I no longer use All Ways- they changed the formula when they changed their label! I threw my bottle out. It no longer contains water and has alcohol and protein. Two ingredients that are terrible for our hair especially during the moisturing stage!"
Translation: I know this even though I have not tested every single hair cream out there. But I must say that ALL creams weigh the hair down because I haven't figured out how to make a weightless one yet. Even though science proves me wrong, I'm still gonna say that protein is terrible for the hair!
But whatever, I don't put any stock into what she says, cuz my hair looked better than hers did. 
But I hear the products are good.
