I don't remember seeing any on her site but in the book there are 3 pics of her . The largest one is maybe 1"X2" , the other 2 are maybe 1" each they are all black & ahite and very dark . They are posed pics not pics to show her hair or how-to's. Her hair is about BSL maybe an inch or 2 longer.
No pics in the book if u want to see demos of anything.

I decided to purchase the book because *sigh* I couldn't help myself. I love books and I love to review them because it helps people make informed purchases. I also had a little extra money to spend after all.
For those thinking about purchasing it....SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! It is NOT worth it and you will get 1,000% better advice here at LHCF.
I wrote a very generous review on Amazon in December (I gave it one star) because I believe Cathy Howse was well-intentioned in writing this book, but fell short of the mark. Here's a copy of the review:
"Disappointing":
I'm afraid this may not be the most useful review. Then again, this was not the most useful book.
Firstly, it is not worth shelling out almost $20 for. I read the book in about 30 minutes when I received it this evening, and promptly turned it over to my sister hoping she can find it more useful than I did.
There is precious little new information to be had, and this is not a "practical guide" as Ms. Howse's "Ultra Black Hair Growth" books (which I have a positive review of, and have purchased copies for friends and family.)Essentially, the book is a precaution against improper use of hair relaxers and the permanent scalp damage they can cause. I'm not writing any spoilers but, to me, many of the warnings she included I've read on relaxer application instructions. She also includes a Q&A section that is surprisingly repetitive and not particularly insightful.
The one redeeming quality is that this may be a useful manual (and it really is more "manual" than "book") for women who may be interested in transitioning from a relaxed style to natural hair, or for women looking for a cause of their hair thinning / loss, and a *possible* direction to follow for a solution. Also, it is refreshing to have yet another voice advocate for healthier styling choices.
Then again, this manual is really is only a stepping-stone to identifying the problem and taking some action, and there are many hair care forums that are more useful and supportive for women journeying to healthy, growing hair.
