Went to Cathy Howse\'s Seminar...
Hey ladies...I don't get to post that often but I just thought I would pop in and give you ladies an update on the Cathy Howse seminar that I attended about a month and a half ago. First, she is a beautiful woman and has gorgeous skin and a beautiful smile. From her pictures, it looks as if she has lost weight and it looks good on her. Her hair is about bra strap length now(in the back) and about chest level in the front and very thick and healthy looking. I can tell she still does not trim because her ends were kind of uneven.(But then again, that is her philosophy
) She had her hair styled in what looked like a dominican blow out. It was very fluffy, had lots of body and was straight with slightly turned under ends. She stated that she does not use heat, only when she is giving one of her seminars. I can't remember how she said she wears her hair the majority of the time. She said pretty much everything in her book and she also announced that she was coming out with her new moisturizing product(whick I think one of the ladies has mentioned recently here on the board). Anyway, she is very adamant about no trimming and moisturizing, moisturizing, moisturizing. She states that washing our hair at least once a week is mandatory.(whick we all know) I asked a ? about exercise and massaging the scalp stimulating growth, she stated "not a requirement." Another lady asked about essential oils, she stated "not a requirement." Other questions came up about growth stimulators, protective styling, etc. Again, her responses were "not necessary." She was also very adamant about Aphogee protein treatments when you see signs of breakage(if you have a relaxer). I have never used it relaxed or natural so I don't have any comment on it. She also stated that relaxing too often can result in damage as well.(Again, we know that here on LHCF, I myself only relaxed every 10-12 weeks before going au naturale
) She seems to be very knowledgeable but she would always state something along the lines of "it's ok to use, but not a requirement" or "not necessary." She is very much set in her ways about what she believes to be a successful way for the black woman to grow their hair long. She seemed to be very nice about answering questions and giving advice but I still felt that she was more in a state of mind of 'my way or the highway.' Overall, it was a nice seminar and I enjoyed myself. I knew everything that she said already, learned here on this board as well as other online boards.
Thank you ladies of LHCF! I hope this helped a little.
