i still don't know what scab(i think that's the word) hair is. i've asked about 3 times and nobody answered.
I read this article a long time ago about scab hair.

-PYT, I see you and I skipped the same classes in school. I asked this the other day.GHE = Green House Effect
Apparently it stands for baggying bare hair. I've done it for years and do it every night but didn't know it had a fancy name.
Baggying bare hair encourages sebum production and recycles the moisture from conditioning and makes my hair feel moisturized even when not using any products. That's why *I* do it.

Chioniso, to me detangling means you have tangles and are removing them. Combing means running a comb through your hair. So you can comb tangled hair but if you are you'd also be detangling it or the comb would not get through. Or you can comb hair that isn't tangled at all, in which case you're just combing not detangling.
In this video, I'm combing not detangling. There are no tangles that I'm removing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCcoXph8tF4

kittenz Thanks!
Chioniso combing is just running a comb through your hair. Detangling is using a wide tooth comb (or brush, tangle teezer, or another device), conditioner/ leave in with slip (meaning there's plenty of oil/lube to let your device glide) to CAREFULLY go through sections of your hair to keep it from getting tangled or matted. If you're natural I would not suggest doing this when you are upset or angry.

How do you get box/individual braids with synthetic hair in tight or close to the scalp?

What does OP stand for?
It stands for "original poster", the person who posts a thread.

Why do "we" start a thread asking "I relaxed my hair on today can I color or highlight tomorrow?" and everyone responds no! A week later we see the same poster yelling "Help my hair is breaking off!" cause despite them asking for advice prior to this destructive behavior and despite the advice given, SHE DID IT ANYWAY!

lwilliams1922, I take it you got your answers in the thread you started so I will refer you to it for answers. Anyone else wondering the same thing can look at that thread.

When someone wants you to read a thread, they will tag you by putting your name at the top of the thread so you get an alert directing you to the thread of interest.
Some people call being mentioned being tagged, but they are different. For instance, by typing Kn0ttyByNatur3, I have just mentioned you and you should have got an alert letting that gave you link that brought you to this post. Mentions send you directly to the post in which you're mentioned. Tags send you to the start of a thread so you can read it. I'll tag you on some thread so you can see the difference.

Ahhh, thank you so much for clearing that up for me. Nonie.
You really helped me out a lot.
You're welcome Kn0ttyByNatur3. Did you get the tag?

Nonie thanks! I didn't know you could tag here. I also did not see the above mention. Is it sent by email??

lwilliams1922, no, not an email, the alert appears at the top of the window next to where it says Welcome, lwilliams1922 under Your Notifications. A number displays beside the word and if you click on the dropdown arrow, a menu opens with the relevant alerts highlighted bold and you can see what that number represents. Mentions, PMs, Tags... You click on the the highlighted words and they take you to the alerts. You click on the thread that shows up on Mention and you'll end up in posts where you're mentioned. Tagged, you'll end up in those threads. You click on PMs, you end up in your PM inbox.
I'll tag you too so you can see.

WOW! First time for everything! After years of being on the board I'm just NOW seeing that #178 up there. I guess I either check the board from my phone (and don't notice) or just rush and click new posts when I come to the site.
thanks for the info!

Why does some people on the board mention having a 'DD' and where can I get one? Also what is OT, OP & bump mean? Is there a forum that teaches newbies these abbreviations?

I think there is a sticky with abbreviations at the top but for the ones you've mentioned:
DD - dearest or darling daughter (I think you know how to get one
OT - Off Topic
OP - Original Poster
Bump - when you post something the entire thread gets moved up in the queue so to speak and thus its bumped from wherever it was in the line of threads..

Why do people put their hand on thier hips or waist when taking hair pics?

I like to think that creating a space between my waist/hips and my arm creates an illusion of slimness or slimmer than I am-ness
It probably doesn't but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
My arms are also kind of long, and I don't know what else to do with them

I know I do it because it helps me see the difference in retention at my WAIST since that is my final goal.
