c. Who cares...different strokes for different folks

well, sometimes you cant tell if a man (or woman for that matter) has a conk/perm/cremed hair [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] because some mixed ppl have straight hair, some look like they have in a jheri curl etc..

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The Conk


In the 1920’s, black men developed a tendency to relax their hair to make it straight and flat. To keep it from curling up again, which it did because of moisture in the air, the used to wear bits of fabric over it called ‘do-rags’ until it set. It was a truly painstaking process and really not worth the effort. Who wants their hair to look like it hasn't been washed in about 12 years?
