That, in black chick land, is referred to as a “perm”.

And it is interesting to note that once such a perm is applied, the black chick can no longer wash her hair or get it wet, or she will lose that perm.

The hair is instead maintained with Pink Moisturizer, sold by Sally Beauty Supply, to extend the life of the perm.

Not quite, Chris. Step aside and let a brotha blacksplain it to you.

A perm is a chemical straightening process that leaves nappy hair 'permanently' straight. It is impervious to water, and doesn't wash out. Eventually, like hair dye, it does grow out.

Hot pressing is the older, more traditional method of straightening nappy hair. After pressing, the hair must be kept dry, or it will curl again. Also, pressing generally only lasts a few days, then needs to be redone.
