Can I ask a DUMB question

[Binetad]

Lols thank god for this thread
I'm alwaysssss lost with all this abbreviation on the internet, I cant keeep up! I just learned so much! Thanks LADIES!

 

[Binetad]

Oh i have a dumb question sorta...
Whats dusting? I keep seeing people talk about dusting my hair after my perm and stuff and i feel so lost.... please help =/

 

[Nonie]

Binetad Dusting is snipping off a tiny amount from the ends of your hair instead of trimming off a chunk.

As for acronyms used on the forum, at the top of the hair forum are stickies with a lot of useful info. You should probably spend sometime there and you'll quickly catch up.

 

[Binetad]

Oh thanks =] and hmmm cool i never knew that.

SO is significant other

DH is dear husband, but I guess damn husband will work too.

I asked this in the Random Thoughts but didn't get an answer, so maybe someone can help me here. Why is it called an invisible part weave? The part is right there in your face so how is it invisible?

The part itself isn't. IMO it's called an invisible part b/c the tracks are "invisible" and the part looks natural. They just secure the tracks down a certain way (either sew in or glue) on a part created by cornrows.

Still learning all the terms used on this board and not sure if this question has already been asked, but is texlaxing the same thing as using a mild relaxer?

 

[winona]

candy626

I believe texlaxing is the process of leaving a regular relaxer on the hair for a shorter period of time. Please someone correct me if I am wrong

Did anybody else receive an email about Phyto Family and Friends sale starting tomorrow? I did, but I haven't seen any thread on this.

What kind of flat irons do you ladies use to get hair with 'swang' you know, like when you step right out of a salon? lol

Or do I just need to buy an expensive flatiron??

 

[Nonie]

WhippedButterCreme, I don't think there's one answer to that question as you can see from this poll:

hi all,

just want to know how people draws a line on their pics to show their hair length and show their final goal!!
the line usually mark a part of their body, AP, shoulder bra strap... i hope it makes sense!

thanks

WhippedButterCreme - I have some cheap Andis flat irons for wal- mart that worked just as well as my chi irons when I was relaxed. It all about technique IMO. Everyone here may disagree but I flat iron with heat protectant and a little serum but that's it and my hair would swang nicely. Afterwards I would add a little oil.

Am I suppose to dc from root to tip? I noticed in alot of youtube videos they say apply dc to length of hair not roots. What do you do?

g.lo I normally open the pic with the paint program on my computer and use the line option and draw one across the next milestone I'm trying to reach. I'm sure there are lots of other ways of doing it, but I find that the easiest for me. HTH

If its a protein conditioner I skip the roots but if it is a moisturizing conditioner I make sure I get the roots. However if it is a very, very thick conditioner I skip the roots unless I dilute it. Otherwise I can't get it off of my scalp.

What is BSB length?

 

[faithVA]

What is BSB length?

It is Below Shoulder Blade. So run your hand down your shoulder blade and it would be that lowest point.

Some use it instead of BSL (Bra Strap Length) because it is an actual spot on the body and doesn't change. BSL can change based on the bra you have one.

Is it okay for me to leave in ORS mayo in my hair for longer than 3 days?

And when I do my next wash should I do a Nexxus protein treatment or no because I left the ORS mayo in my hair & they are both protein treatments?

i still don't know what scab(i think that's the word) hair is. i've asked about 3 times and nobody answered.

 

[HanaKuroi]

anartist4u2001 I don't know either. I think it is hair/scalp that has been damaged by relaxers/dye/chemicals that feels/acts different from the rest of your hair. It takes a long time to get back to normal. This is all I have been able to figure out. It feels wiry/hard or dry/brittle I believe.

What's the definition of 'UE'. At first I assumed it was UnEducated. But the way some people use it has me thinking differently. :/
