Why don't you think his hair is pressed?

There's a pic of P from '03 or '04 and the man had an afro. It's the one with John B and they are wearing Asian outfits. P is standing up and John B. is sitting.

well, he went around for a while with a mini-fro..

I doubt if his hair is relaxed. It appears to be pressed...big difference.

It is relaxed. Only cheap ass rappers like Snoop Dog press their hair.

I always liked this pic:



That is some freakin' BIG hair.

hrmph... It looked pressed to me... especially where his sideburns are gel'd down. Once he started sweating, the sideburns started lifting and curling. I'm thinkin' *that's* why he kept a scarf and a hat on throughout his performance last month.

I guess you haven't seen those pics of P where his hair looked like it had started reverting to a 'fro.

Gel on natural hair doesn't work. Must be relaxed.

Jimmie Walker???!!?? Nah..More like Haywood Nelson (Dwayne) from "What's Happening!!" At least he was good looking....Jimmie Walker is ugly as hell.

We really do need that troll alert emoticon.

Anyhoo, as someone who gets their hair pressed regularly I can factually say that once your hair gets trained it does not necessarily revert back to extremely curly when it gets wet.

You can use gel on pressed hair to make it lay down.

And no I don't have what folks would call "good" hair either. So let's not go there.

As for P, I think he's been getting it pressed in recent years. Could be wrong but who cares ... really.

Relaxing is a permanent chemical hair straighening process that changes the basic structure of curly/kinky hair to a straight form.



Thanks for that..
learned and truly did not know.




Pressing curly/kinky hair is achieved by combing the hair with a heated comb. The straightening is only temporary. Once water hits the hair or the hair is exposed to humidity, it reverts back to its naturally curly/kinky state.



The reason why I say that he presses his hair is due to many performance pictures of P where it looks like his hair had started to revert due to sweating.

Maybe he should use this:





I use it on my natural, unrelaxed hair, which is slicked back in a ponytail. Works like a charm. My hair doesn't move.

Reading and comprehending is fundamental sweetie. I never said that I knew for a fact that his hair was pressed.

I pressed my daughter's unrelaxed hair this morning, so trust, I know the difference.

Madame C. J. Walker, please forgive 'em because they know not what they speak.

Sweetie, I have a license in cosmetology. I'm not a kitchen 'tician, so you trust. Prince's hair is relaxed not pressed.

Unless you were the one that slapped the relaxer in his head or witnessed it being slapped in his head, it's nothing more than your opinion...just like it's my opinion that his hair may be pressed.

PurpleCharm said:

You're absolutely right. It is nothing more than my opinion. However, since I am speaking as an expert in a field in which our little discussion is based upon. My opinion has a bit more weight on it.

SexyBeautifulOne said:

and at the end of the day...it's still your opinion.
