A procedure in which the hair of an african-american boy is
straightened through the use of potatoes,
lye,vaseline,and soap. It is a mark of passage to adulthood and masculinity, because of the intense pain inherent in the process.
Example:
''Damn right, it's hot, thats the
lye...it's going to burn when I comb it in--it burns bad...Shorty started combing it in. But then my head
caught fire...
The comb felt as if it was raking my skin off.''
