This hairstyle called for a man with Natural afro hair naturally kinky hair to have it chemically hair straightening straightened using a relaxer sometimes the pure corrosive chemical lye , so that the newly straightened hair could be styled in specific ways. Often, the relaxer was made at home, by mixing lye, eggs, and potatoes, the applier having to wear gloves and the receiver s head having to be rinsed thoroughly after application to avoid chemical burn s. Conks were often styled as large Pompadour hairstyle pompadour s although other men chose to simply slick their straightened hair back, allowing it to lie flat on their heads. Regardless of the styling, conks required a considerable amount of effort to maintain a man often had to wear a do rag of some sort at home, to prevent sweat or other agents from causing his hair to revert to its natural state prematurely. Also, the style required repeated application of relaxers as new hair grew in, it too had to be chemically straightened.

Invented by and named for Jheri Redding , ref http www.time.com time magazine article 0,9171,988079,00.html Milestones , Time magazine Time , March 30, 1998. ref the Jheri curl gave the wearer a glossy, loosely curled look. It was touted as a wash and wear style that was easier to care for than the other popular chemical treatment of the day, the relaxer. A Jheri curl was a two part application that consisted of a softener often called a rearranging cream to loosen the hair and a solution to set the curls. The rearranging cream used pungent chemicals, causing the naturally tight curls to loosen and hang. The loose hair was then set on perm rods and a chemical solution was then added to the hair to permanently curl it. Perming the hair was time and labor intensive and expensive to maintain. The harsh mix of chemicals required for the process caused the wearer s natural hair to become extremely brittle and dry. To maintain the look of the Jheri curl, users were required to apply a curl activator spray and heavy moisturizers daily and to sleep with a plastic cap on their heads to keep the hairstyle from drying out. These products were relatively expensive a typical bottle of activator was small, retailed anywhere from 3 to 6, and was quickly depleted. The activator in particular had the undesirable side effect of being very greasy this would often stain clothing and anything that came into contact with it. Washing the hair cleansed it of the styling products but also exposed the damage done to the hair by the chemical process. Also, as the hair grew out, the wearer would be forced to return to the hair salon for a touch up, further adding to the overall expense. The hairstyle went out ... more details

Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia was first noticed in African Americans in the 1950s and reported by LoPresti et al. in 1968 to result from application of petrolatum followed by a stove heated iron comb.

Later CCCA was realized to affect men and women without a history significant for use of such aforementioned styling techniques, thus evolved the terms Follicular Degeneration Syndrome per Sperling and Sau in 1992 and then CCCA per Olsent et al. in 2003.
