Glossary of Terms?

[Coco7]

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here. Glad to find a website dedicated to the care of Black hair. I'm transitioning to natural hair and am looking for recommendations about how to do so successfully with minimum damage to my hair. I've been relaxer free since April 2009, but have been wearing braids for a long time. This is my first time with just my natural hair and about 1 1/2 inches of relaxer left. I am excited to see the possibilities of my natural hair and that's why I love this forum. I just have one little problem: I don't understand the lingo. Can someone help me please? Is there a glossary of terms somewhere? What is baggying, apl, BC, etc? I'm clueless. Teach me. I'm a willing student when it comes to my hair.


Thank you in advance.

Coco
