Newbie Needing Help

[londra21]

I am new to this site, and I apologize if this is in some obvious place, but I don't understand the terminology (ie. BSL, 4B etc). Where can I find this information? I have been reading the forum for the last few hours. I'm trying to go natural and grow my hair. I have found a lot of great information but still lost when it comes to the abbreviations. Please Help.

At the beginning of the forum is a sticky that contains links to some very helpful threads including a "Newbie" thread. It contains the acronyms you asked about and many more. You will also find links to some of the basic techniques that you will see mentioned, e.g., baggying, cowashing, etc.
