Hello Everyone,

Here we are again for Friday's post HairCare Friday.  When announcing HairCare Fridays, I briefly explained what natural hair is and now I am going to give you meanings of abbreviated terms. So as future post are made you will know what it means.  O.k. let us begin.

BNC- Braid-n-Curl, corn rowing or plating the hair and rolling the ends with a type of roller

BSS- Beauty Supply Store

BSL- Bra strap length hair

CBL- Collar bone length hair

Cones- Ingredients in hair products that is not water soluble, for instance (silicone), build up can occur making it hard to wash out. It should be washed out thoroughly

Note***

I will begin taking submissions for HairCare Friday's to share how to style tutorial videos and still life photos of a style that you really like to wear.  If you send in a still life photo, it must be you, give the name of the style, how you achieved it and share your natural hair journey story, tell how you feel about your decision to go natural and what advice can you share with those transitioning.

To submit please do the following: send in your how to style video or picture with hair journey story. Also, include your name, it can be your youtube name if different from your real name or your real name for posting, be sure to submit during  the week to trueyouness@gmail.com; in the subject line put either tutorial or photo with story depending on what you are sending.  Every Friday, I will post a video or photo with the story that was submitted.  I look forward to your submissions.
