Glossary Of Terms And Acronyms The Nappturality Way
When I first joined Napprturality my vocabulary of nappturality acronyms was quite meager. It took me a little while to get a good grasp. The same questions I had about what they meant come up quite regularly too as it may be answered for one person but then get lost in the shuffle somewhere.
So this is my contribution to help the newbies (a running list maintained by moderators):
Hair Related
BAA - Big A$$ Afro
BC - Big Chop - i.e. cutting off all your chemically treated hair
Blow out - blow dry
EVOO - extra virgin olive oil (yeah the one from the grocery store :P )
nappyversary - the anniversary of the day you became a napptural
napptural - means natural :P if you still have permed ends (even a 1/2 ") you aren't there yet. Your state of mind may contribute to your level of nappturalness too.
scab hair - when u first go natural, you hair has sometimes been affected by the relaxer that has seeped into the follicle. scab hair is dry, crispy sometimes, and doesnt repsond to products, usually needing to be deep conditioned more and eventually trimmed off
TWA - teeny weeny afro (some say "teeny weeny afro" some say "TWA")
twist out - two strand twist, dry, loosen, figer comb to style
PHHB = Panty Hose Head Band
The kitchen area - the back of your hair towards the nape of your neck...
Transitioning - period of time since last relaxer before going natural. Transitioners count from the date of their last chemical treatment.
CNAPP - someone with napps that feel like cotton
Processes/treatments
No Poo - washing with conditioners
CO - Condition Wash/No-Poo
DC - deep condition
Products/Mixes
ACV rinse - apple cider vinegar rinse--diluted to about 1:10 vinegar to water (or some variation)
eo - essential oil
DDTA - Daily Defense Tender Apple Conditioner
MA - Mane Attraction (Products by Seoul)
SK - Sun Kissed (product by Seoul)
poo bar - shampoo bar
AVG - aloe vera gel
CDHHB - Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter
EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
CON - Creme of Nature
FOEAVG - Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel
RMEO - rosemary essential oil

b/c - because

IOW - in other words
BRB - be right back

SO - significant other

It's amazing how I forget them when I try to make a list of them. As I run into more I will edit this list.
Feel free to add more 'cause I know there are more out there for me to learn.
***Disclaimer***
I am relatively new too so school me where necessary (with a loving approach, preferably :wub: )
