As a result, many Afi＇ican American women lack knowledge about how to care for their naturally kinky hair because straightened hair has been the standard and norm. Therefore, women wearing natural hair had to seek support and education outside of their immediate community via social networking sites.

This method can also bring convenience to users to read blogs,and it can supply a new methodology for information retrieval in the blogosphere. To ensure the reliability of the ranking results,some evaluation indicators of the im-portant bloggers are proposed,and the grading results of bloggers using the proposed method is compared with that using other indicators. At last,correlation analysis is used to verify the consistency between the proposed method and the evaluation indicators.展开更多
