Testimonials List

Dear Cathy,

I just want to say a very big thank you for sharing with us on how to care for black hair.

You book is common sense, and it all makes sense.

Your products I think are excellent, because it has the proper protein, moisture and oil balance for the shampoo, conditioner and moisturiser.

I cannot believe that I've only stumbled on your truth, while I was searching on the internet for black hair solutions. I cannot believe it has been around all this time!

Your solutions sound the truest and I could identify with everything you say and write.

Your book has easy to understand explanation, without needing a college degree in Science.

I am going to start your regime and I'll give it a year only to see just on average how much my hair really does grow.

I am lucky that I naturally have long hair, which is fast growing but it breaks, breaks and breaks.

I don't like it. Hopefully, your solution which makes sense to me will help.

I am only one week in and all I've done is to ditch all those creams and only moisturise once or twice daily with your moisturizer and I cannot believe the difference already. I run my hands through my hair and the palm of my hand is not filled with hair!!

I will use your prescribed regime of weekly cleansing and deep conditioner and daily moisturising and take it from there.

I want everyone of Black African descent struggling with their hair to have a copy of your book, and if possible to your excellent hair products.

I'm spreading the word here to all sisters in my family.

I'll let you know every 3 months, how I'm going, just so that I can share my success with you, because I think you deserve it.

As a final thing, I did my first wash and deep conditioning etc and my hair felt ok, no problems, I also used the creme moisturizer, and how can I get it to tangle less?

Thank you again.

I used your method years ago with great progress. Everyone noticed the difference and so did I. The growth was amazing. I don't know why I stopped. I am going to start back again though. I ordered your conditioner and spritz. I am going to take it day by day and see what i can achieve by the end of the year. You have some great information on your site. I am looking forward to sharing my growth pictures as well. Once I receive your product I will take a before photo and get this thing rolling. I am excited because I know it works and I am ready to start it up again. Thanks again for all the knowledge you share and the growth you have given all these wonderful women.

Hi Cathy, I was first introduced to your products about 4 or 5 years ago.  I was faithful in reading your book and applying that advice.  Needless to say I fell off the wagon so to speak.  I use to be a diehard relaxed girl but am now natural. Thank goodness.  The problem I have is that my hair is a mixture of different textures 4a,b and c.  I have tried so many different products its unreal and my dwindling bank account can attest to that.  My hair is super coarse and thick which I have grown to love but would prefer a little bit more suppleness to it.  I have purchased the 16oz kit on your website and look forward to receiving it in the mail.  I will be getting rid of all those other products I have that have not lived up to their hype.  Thanks so much for the inspiration and candidness on the youtube videos.  You are gorgeous and I love your hair.

I have been using your Products (The Shampoo, Deep Conditioner, Spray Moisturizer and Satin Creme) for a month. After the 1st application of the Deep Conditioner my hair was healthier. Now, not only is my hair healthier, it is thicker. The Satin Creme is very good for my dry hair. My hair soaks-up the Satin Creme like a sponge. Cathy, you have to advertise your products worldwide! As you know, the Pink Moisturizer is used by millions, but it doesn't moisturize the hair like your Satin Creme. It doesn't penetrate into the hairs. I learned so much from reading your Ultra Black Hair Growth II Book. Cathy, you have to promote your book and products to the millions of women worldwide who are wearing weaves. Millions of Black women truly believe that taking care of their hair, you know, moisturizing it and using the correct products are just too complicated. Unfortunately, most of the black hair care products are damaging the hair. Cathy, you have to eliminate that barrier of confusion, race-solidarity that envelopes millions of black women regarding their true reasons for purchasing those damaging products.

Thank you sooo much for the UBH Products. I found the product over 5 years ago and it works so well! When I had relaxed hair, the product made my hair long, thick, and shiny. When I transitioned from relaxed to natural, the Silky Spray Moisturizer worked wonders. The Silky Spray was my only moisturizer while I wore senegalese twists for 6 months. My hair grew and remained moisturized like never before. Since I have been completely natural, the Deep Conditioner has worked wonders. It is as if the products change my curl pattern to bouncy, larger curls even though my natural hair texture is 4c/b (as they say). After 23 months natural, I intend to go for the UBH 1 year challenge! THANK YOU

For years I have had perms. Since the 70’s My hair would never grow. I had the perms because, without them, I could not put a comb through it. My mom gave me perms. After the first perm week and the first wash it was overdry and brittle hair. It was the worse. Folks tried to tell you what to do. “Sike” wouldn’t work. Then the internet got real big. I got hip to you tube and joined a hair forum; they talked about all types of stuff for the hair. How to make your own moisturizer. What to use in shampoo, all kinds of stuff. I was home making a mess of my kitchen with all kinds of oil, mayonnaise. Spending a ton of money on products, oils, etc. Still nappy, dry brittle hair, can’t get a comb through it and dry as all “get out”. One woman on the forum, suggested that we buy the book. Read it. Stop doing everything else read the book first. Well, I read a lot anyway, what harm could it do. Another book claiming to do what no one has done before. I read the book, in one day and read it again. Since then I have purchased the book for my friends and I have suggested the book to so many people. OMG, it have saved my hair. The book was awesome, as I was reading it, I remembered those days with the hot comb on the back porch. I remember the smell of burning hair. I remember the cries of my sister who would wail when she had her hair combed, I just toughed it out. I remember the greasing of the scalp and hair could not bounce cause’ it had so much grease on it. I remember.

So I followed the book. First, the washing every three days, I had a perm but I put my hair in a bun. I still got my perms but I waited longer between perms. Every week I put on a white tee shirt and my sister measured my hair. OMG it was growing and every week it was longer. I then purchased the Crème moisturizer and the deep conditioner. Say no more. It made my new growth so much easier to manage that I could wait up to 12 weeks between relaxers.

I went to a seminar that was hosted by Cathy Howse. She shared her story. She had transitioned to natural. I went up to her and asked how did she do it without cutting off all of her hair and she told me how she used the moisturizer. I still was not convinced, so I kept getting my perms but putting more time in between. Then I found a bald spot in the front where my widow’s peak used to be. Oh, no.

Today I am transitioning. I use the moisturizer and no breakage. After I wash, I condition and I moisturize. Imagine that. I can wet my hair and get a comb through it. The texture seems like it has changed over the past few weeks which allows me to wear other styles. It is not dry and brittle. I most like that you can call the office and they will talk to you. Give you additional help. They will ask you about you hair and what you may be doing wrong and suggest other techniques. So with that said. I am on. They are like family. I call all the time. Make no mistake. I buy my moisturizer from them only. I buy it for me, my daughter and my best friend. We love it and would not live with anything else. I have had my hair “trimmed” because with the perms, I did had a great deal of shedding and other issues. I am transitioning very nicely now and I am rockin my natural hair. It is past my shoulders nappy, nice and soft but if I straighten it ‘get out”. Unbelievable.

I remember when I was having trouble with maintaining my hair and then I discovered Cathy's website. I learned a lot from looking at her hair tips and realized that moisture and protein was a requirement for afro textured hair. I have been successful in maintaining my hair since, using Cathy's methods. However, I have never used her system but, recommend others to use her products because, in examining the ingredients in them I strongly believe that they will improve the condition of dry afro textured hair. Considering, the fact that products are to help to maintain the hair, and not necessarily to make the hair grow. Regardless, of whether women choose to use her methods or her system they will still be successful because, her methods are still valid in order to successfully maintain afro textured hair today. Howse's system is also an added benefit for those who are serious about growing their hair to longer lengths and want to use her products.

I had been using Phytospecific relaxer for several years and recently started noticing increased shedding and hair breakage with uneven thinning out of my hair.  I was looking for a product that would restore my hair back to it former fullness and growth when I came across your product.  Was a bit skeptical at first but after reading about the product decided to trial it with a 4 oz size sample.  Figured I could not go wrong if I did not like it or saw any improvements after usage.  Tried it, liked it but did not immediately see dramatic improvement.  Got the book later on read it then started following your directions on usage.  After using it consistently now one year later I can testify that the product really does works because my hair not only stopped breaking but has grown back to its previous length.  I still have spots that are still shorter than the rest of my hear as left side grows faster than right, but my hair continues growing back in.  However, I can attest to this product's claims about 6 inches of growth in one year.  I eventually figured out that I was not completely washing out the phyto from my hair ends and that's what caused the breakage in the first place.  I still continue to use the Phyto because it is not as harsh as other products.  I  combined it with use of your deep condition and I have to admit I prefer the spray over the moisturizer as the moisturizer weighs down my hair too much.  Would much rather use it when hair is pulled back in a chignon or ponytail or after washing and rolling to dry hair.  I love your product and am so excited that a product like yours exists for black hair which promotes natural hair growth without the use of extensions, wigs or weaves.   I continue to use the Phytospecific relaxer and your line of products in my hair for conditioning and moisturizing and my hair looks amazing.  One thing I do find is that I still need to use a detangling conditioner in my hair after washing and deep conditioning with the deep conditioner so as to get the snarls and  tangles out otherwise I can not comb through my hair.

I've been perm/chemical free since 2007 and bottom line - your conditioner is amazing.  My hair  stayed the same length for years due to major breaking.  My hair was also VERY thin and sparse even in it's natural state.  I used rogain and took vitamins with no major improvement.  It wasn't until I used your deep conditioner that I noticed major change within the 1st 3 weeks!  My hair is thicker, has no breakage, and feels healthy.  I will forever be a customer.  Please don't change the formula!

Well my name is Demisha and for years i could not grow my hair i am a black woman and i just figured that out of all the races most black women had to just accept the fact that we could not grow long hair until i stumbled upon ms cathy's website, i figured well i spent so much money elsewhere i may as well try this its not so expensive and i also viewed the web clips and the things she said made a lot of sense so i purchaced the book along with 3 starter small bottles to see if i would like the product i started using it in january 2012 and my hair in the back i could not really grip, now with following the suggestions in the book like washing the hair every 3 days (which i thought would be impossible for a black girl without a perm)my hair can be put into a ponytail. ....long story with time and patience black hair can grow....thanks ms. cathy....,.Misha
