Dreads

Short for, or replacing the somewhat negative term "dreadlocks," locs are a hairstyle where the hair that one would normally comb or shed locks into itself, creating ropelike strands. During the locking process, people developing locs don't untangle their hair, which is what causes the strands to coil around themselves into fused units.

Box Braids

Box braids are individual plaits that are usually divided by small squared off parts or boxes. Box braids may be of any width or length, but most women add synthetic or natural hair to the braid for length as well as thickness and fullness.

Relaxers

A relaxer is a type of lotion or cream generally used by people with tight curls or very curly hair which makes hair easier to straighten by chemically "relaxing" the natural curls

Coloring

Hair coloring, or hair dyeing, is the practice of changing the hair color. The main reasons for this are cosmetic: to cover gray or white hair, to change to a color regarded as more fashionable or desirable, or to restore the original hair color after it has been discolored by hairdressing processes or sun bleaching.

Treatments

Hair treatments can do wonders for lifeless, unruly, damaged, frizzy hair. Treatments can boost hair growth, moisturize, strengthen, and reduce breakage. Treatments can come in the form of oils, and masks for the hair and scalp.

Weaving

Hair weaving essentially means the addition of hair to cover baldness or adding hair to one's natural hair. The added hair can be human or synthetic.
