| BAA | Stands for Big A$$ Afro. To achieve this one must have longer hair and do a "blow-out" |
| Banding | A technique where you place rubber bands (depends on the length of your hair) is placed on a section of damp hair. This helps to stretch the hair naturally without using damaging heat. |
| Big Chop | The moment when you chop all of your relaxer hair off and is left with nothing but beautiful, natural hair. :) |
| Blow-out | A style where you blow dry your hair and leave as is. |
| Build-up (Or Product Build-up) | This occurs after using an excessive amount of a hair product such as gel or a pomade, and there is a film on your hair. The hair will look dull and lifeless and many not respond to hair styling products. Moisture (that our hair needs) will not be able to permeate through the product build. If moisture can’t find it’s way underneath the cuticle layer the hair can’t be properly conditioned. Do a clarifying treatment (see below) to correct this problem and get your hair back to normal |
