Sounds like publicity to me. I bet people that have never heard of us will check us out (and sign-up) just because she referenced it. :yep:

Can I get a AMEN?!?

I am......Start reading this thread from the beginning. I couldn't help myself and say what you want but the "Bible" comment got me HOTTT.
 
OH Hayl naw somebody posting bad reviews about LHCF on amazon. Let me go read it now. I vented on Amazon.com in regards to the Carolyn Grey book because ppl were talking bad about the book SO I had to set them straight. I thought Amazon was not going to post my review but they did and I was shocked when they did.

*Off to read the review:mad: *

Exactly. People love drama. So they'll at least take a look. Hopefully they learn something useful.

Haterade does a body good.

OT::lol: I think she got that from "Will And Grace." One character (Karen Walker) uses the name Anastasia Beaverhousen as an alias.
That's exactly what it is, lol!
I recognized it as soon as I read the post.
I love Anastasia. I was considering using the whole name as my own club alias, instead of giving my real name.:lol:

. There are a lot of people who have fotkis dedicated to black hair growth who are not members of LHCF, so....the "Anonymous" could very well be anyone and everyone.
Those negative comments on the fotkis have been happening for years to ladies on this site.
In order to get onto the fotkis, someone has to have the password (for the ones that are password protected.)
In order to GET the password, you either have to grab it from a siggy (like mine) or request it from the owner.
When my fotki was attacked, the only place I had my fotki posted was here, on this site. It was someone who was on this site who got my password from the siggy.
It's anyone, sure, but it's anyone from LHCF.

Below is a link to a book review/"masked boycott" on amazon.com about our LHCF forums. TO THE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS REVIEW:WHY???! Everyone is intitled to their own opinion. But slandering and draging LHCF through the mud is downright disrespectful to those who are honest and for those who reach out and give knowledgable advice and tips. To my LHCF sistas: PLEASE POST YOUR OPINIONS HERE AND REASURE OUR NEWBIES THAT WE ARE NOT FAKE!!!To the person who sent that nasty review: Please don't take what you think is right and pose it on others. Let everyone have their own chance to decide weather or not LHCF is for them, don't decide it for them. Also, if by chance there were "fake" people on this forum we all cannot deny the helpful tips and advice that these "fake people" have given. We all have our shortcommings, but in the end its between ourselves and God.

The review was made by a "veronica beaverhousen" scroll down to the review section of the page and read her second paragraph....

http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Black-Hair-Growth-2000/dp/0962833029/ref=sr_1_1/103-1472018-4993446?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1178159324&sr=1-1

There are a couple of things I can think of. Either she is an envious misguided person. -OR- She is someone who may have "something" to do with Cathy's book, or someone who has a business or book or something to sell. So they slander LHCF because the information is FREE!!! In other words, by Cathy's book and don't go to LHCF where the info is just there. The ladies on LHCF are getting results. That whole thing could be a covert operation.

I haven't had time to read all the pages but I am very disturbed by this trend.

Maybe this is nothing new, but it seems weird to me - the anonymous derogatory comments posted about Camelia (I must admit, that really shook me :( ) and now this. Is this something new? I'm just puzzled as to how someone can make fun of LHCF with falsehoods and perplexed that they would do so in the context of a book review. :confused: :confused: :(
 
I know everyone is upset about this....and believe me I am too, cuz I don't like nobody talking about my family....:mad:

Now, can ya'll move over to the "How did LHCF started" thread in the Off Topic forum so we can get some answers over there......:grin:

Gawd I wish I was a NINJA. Think about it..

Why is it that you feel the need to sweat Monica..she aint thinking about you or LHCF..yeah I figured it out that you are DL MacIntosh that posted that comment on Amazon. You obviously need a life if after a year later, you still want to talk and bring up somebody that is not giving you a second thought.

any press is good press!

She put the address to this site in that post. If anything, people are going to come on here out of curiosity and see what she was talking about. Once they come here, they will see with their own eyes how wonderful this site is and see all the advice and success stories everyone has. Then, that person may like what they see, and join the LHCF family. Thats 1 LHCF 0 Beaver's House.

The way she went into LHCF was really bizzar and random. Still, when my hair gets to BSL or WL with the help of this forum, i'll take it as a compliment if someone thinks its a fake weave or lacefront wig. The joke will be on them when they realize its all home grown!

This is a good point here to make.

This is what I posted on Amazon:

I just wanted to comment on the review that VERONICA BEAVERHOUSEN posted in this review on April 26, 2007, in regards to longhaircareforum.com. She said “Please by all means DO NOT go on longhaircareforum.com it was a joke and a waste of time. Some if not most people on their are wearing weaves and lace front wigs, lying about how their hair grew so long in a matter of weeks, and how their hair will be growing down to their ankles by year's end, and fussing who said what about the Bible, pure craziness”. I wanted to say that I have proudly been a member of Long Hair Care Forum since December 2005. Since joining this site my hair HAVE gone from above shoulder length to now 2 inches above my brastrap. My hair will soon reach my brastrap at my next touch up. I owe all my hair growth success to LONG HAIR CARE FORUM, Cathy Howse book, Nicole Smith book, taking hair vitamins, keeping my ends hidden by wearing my hair up, keeping my hair/ends moisturized, washing and deep conditioning my hair ATLEAST once a week, doing protein treatments weekly (to keep my hair strong, so it will not break off), and did I mention by getting good hair growing tips from LHCF. Yes some women on LHCF wear wigs and lacefronts but they wear them to protect their ends while growing their hair and many of them ACTUALLY have long hair underneath those weaves and lacefronts. You may ask how do I know this and the reason why I know is because we have meetings in different states where we meet with other ladies and talk about our hair goals, swap hair products, and of course touch the beautiful locks of the ladies. Long Hair Care Forum have policies on the way a member is to conduct themselves on the board and those who DO NOT follow those policies can and do get banned from LHCF. We at LHCF have pictures to validate our hair is actually the length we say it is. We actually have BEFORE and AFTER pictures. Hair grows 6 inches a year and if you protect your ends, you will keep those 6 inches, unless you like trimming ALOT then of course you will not keep the 6 inches. A lot of us on LHCF do our own hair, from perming, trimming, styling/roller sets. If we didn’t know how to do it before joining LHCF we know how to do it now. We at LHCF are an internet family oriented environment. If any of us have any issues in our lives, all we have to do is type it in, WHATEVER it may be and someone will respond within minutes. We don’t curse, degrade each other. Our goal is to help each other reach our hair’s potential and it doesn’t matter what type of hair you have, coarse, kinky, fine, curly, etc. Your hair can reach its potential. We are proof of that. Visit us sometime and see yourself.

ETA: I behaved myself because I didn't want anyone to think LHCF was crazy:lachen:
BUT I posted on Amazon.com a while back because ppl was ticking me off about Carolyn Gray's book and encouraging ppl not to buy her book and I was pissed because Carolyn's book is very helpful for someone who don't have a clue in hayl on where to start and yah she copied and pasted the week by week steps but I myself needed that book to be laid out like that..anyway this is what I posted in regards to Carolyn Gray's book:

THIS BOOK IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND SINCE I PURCHASED THIS BOOK MY HAIR IS HEALTHIER AND LONGER...YES THIS BOOK IS FOR RELAXED HAIR BUT IT IS ALSO FOR NATURAL HAIR TOO AND THE WEEK TO WEEK REGIMEN STEPS WAS THE REASON WHY I PURCHASED THIS BOOK BECAUSE WHEN I STARTED TAKING CARE OF MY HAIR...I DID NOT KNOW WHERE TO START BUT IN THE BOOK SHE GAVE WEEK BY WEEK STEPS AND I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS REGIMEN SINCE DECEMBER 2005 AND MY HAIR HAS GROWN AND IS VERY HEALTHY AS I STATED EARLIER...FIRST I HAD TO GET MY HAIR BACK HEALTHY AND ONCE I ACCOMPLISHED THAT THE LENGTH CAME. AS FAR AS CAROLYN GRAY NOT USING APHOGEE PROTEIN TREATMENTS (SOMEONE MENTIONED) ALTHOUGH SHE DOES NOT USE IT HERSELF...SHE DOES MENTION APHOGEE PROTEIN PRODUCTS IN THE BOOK AND BEING THAT SHE USES SOME FORM OF PROTEIN TREATMENT WEEKLY MAYBE SHE DOES NOT NEED TO USE A STRONG PROTEIN TREATMENT SUCH AS APHOGEE (SOME PEOPLE HAIR CAN NOT TAKE A STRONG PROTEIN TREATMENT OR SOME PEOPLE HAIR IS NOT THAT SEVERELY DAMAGED SO THEY WOULD NOT NEED APHOGEE PROTEIN TREATMENT). I DO NOT USE A STRONG PROTEIN TREATMENT AND MY HAIR IS NOT BREAKING OFF..IT'S GROWING ACTUALLY...THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU ARE JUST STARTING TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR AND DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO START OR YOU JUST DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO START...THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU....SHE TELLS YOU WHAT PRODUCTS TO USE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS...YES SHE MENTIONS HER PRODUCTS BUT SHE ALSO MENTIONS SEVERAL OTHER PRODUCTS TO USE. SHE IS GIVING YOU THE FOUNDATION TO BUILD YOUR HAIR REGIMEN TO NOT ONLY GROW YOUR HAIR BUT TO ALSO KEEP THE HAIR...THIS WOMAN TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE A BOOK TO HELP AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN GROW THEIR HAIR AND WHAT THANKS DOES SHE GET BUT UNNESSARY AND LOW BLOWS NEGATIVE REMARKS...YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS...EITHER BUY THE BOOK AND WATCH YOUR HAIR GROW OR STFU AND KEEP THE SHORT DAMAGED HAIR YOU GOT...I PICKED MY OPTION AND MY HAIR IS GROWING....ADVICE TO MALICIOUS NEGATIVE REMARKS ABOUT THIS BOOK...KEEP IT MOVING....IT'S OK TO POST NEGATIVE REMARKS ABOUT THIS BOOK IN GOOD SPIRIT BUT SOME ARE DOWN RIGHT MALICIOUS AND IS NOT NECESSARY...THIS REVIEW MIGHT NOT GET POSTED BUT I HAD TO SAY THIS..BECAUSE SOME WOMEN WILL MISS OUT ON SOMETHING GOOD...BECAUSE OF THE IGNORANCE OF OTHERS.

Well, I said this before, people tell me I have a wig most of the time, so I guess she was just confused.

I'm sorry ladies but I couldn't help myself...........I know it's a cheap shot but the "Bible" reference made me do it. I left the following as a response comment:

Veronica Beaverwhateva........WTF do you mean by this and why are you addressing it in a book review:

"DO NOT go on longhaircareforum.com it was a joke and a waste of time. Some if not most people on their are wearing weaves and lace front wigs, lying about how their hair grew so long in a matter of weeks, and how their hair will be growing down to their ankles by year's end, and fussing who said what about the Bible, pure craziness!!!!"

Sounds like you're a Hair HATA and probably pissed due to any the following:
A)you're obviously too ignorant to take the time to educate yourself on the dynamics of AA haircare irrespective of where the info can be found
B) you're bald and not by choice
C) just plain ignorant
D) all of the above

I do believe in free speech but listen up Beaver and listen up real good.......please refrain from making such disparaging remarks about LHCF because PLEASE BELIEVE the hair is REAL on the site. Let me repeat that.......the hair is REAL and when it's not, it's clearly and openly stated. I rest my case.

:lachen: :lachen: :lachen: THAT'S FUNNY...I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S FUNNY:lol: :lol: :lachen:
