What is congolene?

It's a form of hair straightener. People of African descent tend to have “kinkier” hair1. In the 1940s, it was common for some African Americans to emulate the straighter style as seen on European or “white” people.

In order to do this, some African Americans used congolene – a gel-like substance that contained lye – to “cook” their hair until it was limp. This style was known as the “conk2″. Congolene could be made at home from potatoes, eggs and lye3 and was applied to the hair like shampoo. Since lye is a very corrosive substance, it was washed off very quickly after being applied and the hairdresser would wear protective gloves. The resulting hairstyle would be limp, straight hair which could then be styled further.

Congolene and Conk hairstyling started to die out in the 1960s/70s with the advent of “natural” Afro hairstyles being embraced by African Americans, as well as the mainstream cultural acceptance of these styles. Hair straightening products for less-extreme “straight” styles such as the Jheri curl4 were also a lot more safer.

Annnnnd, NOW, the EDUCATIONAL/ARTISTIC side of the matter:

Hair
from The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Malcolm X with Alex Haley :>)

Shorty soon decided that my hair was finally long enough to be conked. He had promised to school me in how to beat the barbershops’ three- and four-dollar price by making up congolene and then conking ourselves.

I took the little list of ingredients he had printed out for me and went to a grocery store, where I got a can of Red Devil lye, two eggs, and two medium-sized white potatoes. Then at a drugstore near the poolroom, I asked for a large jar of Vaseline, a large bar of soap, a large-toothed comb and a fine-toothed comb, one of those rubber hoses with a metal sprayhead, a rubber apron, and a pair of gloves.

“Going to lay on that first conk?” the drugstore man asked me. I proudly told him, grinning,“Right!”
Shorty paid six dollars a week for a room in his cousin’s shabby apartment. His cousin wasn’t at home. “It’s like the pad’s mine, he spends so much time with his woman,” Shorty said. “Now, you watch me—”

2

He peeled the potatoes and thin-sliced them into a quart-sized Mason fruit jar, then started stirring them with a wooden spoon as he gradually poured in a little over half the can of lye. “Never use a metal spoon; the lye will turn it black,” he told me.

A jellylike, starchy-looking glop resulted from the lye and potatoes, and Shorty broke in the two eggs, stirring real fast—his own conk and dark face bent down close. The congolene turned pale yellowish. “Feel the jar,” Shorty said. I cupped my hand against the outside and snatched it away. “Damn right, it’s hot, that’s the lye,” he said. “So you know it’s going to burn when I comb it in—it burns bad. But the longer you can stand it, the straighter the hair.”
THERE IS MORE! :>) :>)

ENJOY! :>)
