She did an analysis of the method as well as some experiments testing out why it works. Like the woman in the second video stated, its really the clay step that makes the most difference, which makes sense. If you look at Nap85 video's before regular use of clay, there is a distinct difference in time and the coils in her hair. Another example is KinkyKurlyQueen who did clay treatments every month or so.
Conditioning is the MOST IMPORTANT part of taking care of natural hair, and while I do not do the MHM, I appreciate the fact that it is emphasizing the conditioning. The MHM emphasizes regular cleansing, deep moisture, detoxifying and light strengthening with natural products. I am a stan for regular cleansing and deep conditioning, its what makes my hair easy. I already do that, so I don't feel the need to jump on the bandwagon, but I can truly see why this bandwagon is worthwhile for many.
I still haven't used clay on my hair, I may give it a go one of these days.
