These are the men with press n’ curls who had no business having them to begin with and who, thankfully, have retired their free flowing tresses in favor of ceaser’s and other non-pimp-like haircuts more befitting of men of a certain age.

KCi

KCi tried to pull off this look at a time when PR people actually had some control over their artists so I don’t know who gave the green light to this Mary Tyler Moore flip mess, but thankfully it was short-lived.

Trinidad James

So, truth be told, there’s no telling when Trinidad James’ press n’ curl may reemerge, but there’s also no telling when he’ll have another hit on his hands so as long as he stays out of the limelight our eyes are safe.

Snoop

Snoop’s hair was unequivocally laid when he wore it straight back in the ’90s, but because the look was always accompanied by a three-piece suit and bowler hat, it was hard to look at him without feeling some type of way — a bad way.

Batman

Marques Houston made me regret every single Right On! magazine poster of Immature I ever put on my wall when he debuted this cut. Contrary to popular belief you can’t be a man and have a bob and baby hair.

Katt Williams

Katt’s hair was pretty. We won’t deny that. But any time your look sparks creation of a character titled a pimp named slicked back, you know it’s time for a change.

Nick cannon

“Gigolo” just never should’ve happened, much like Nick Cannon’s press n’curl. Go no further than the 5-second mark in the video unless you have to.

DJ Quick

We can’t lie, DJ Quik kept his hair nice, but at 44 it just wouldn’t be right to sill see him walking around like that.

Lloyd

A lot of women were mad at Lloyd for cutting his hair, but it was time for a change. Nobody’s trying to pull all that hair out the drain every day!

A$ap Rocky

Pretty Flacko does look pretty fly with his long strands, but we’ll take the two straight-backs over this Dark N’ Lovely commercial waiting to happen situation right here.

Ice-T

Ice-T actually was a pimp in his younger days so we guess it’s befitting that he had the hairstyle to match, but it took way to long for him to transition from blowout to two-strand twisted ponytail to the low cut we see him with now on Law & Order: SVU

Bone Thugs N’ Harmony

So at some point just about every member of Bone Thugs N’ Harmony decided a press n’ curl was hot ish, thankfully they all agreed they were wrong years later.

Andre 3000

OK. We’ll be honest, we kinda loved Andre 3000’s sleek hair in the “Hey Ya” video. We could just tell under those bright lights he was about to gave an afro situation on him real quick if he didn’t revert back on his own.

Prince

Don’t shoot the messenger on this, but Prince was just getting way too many passes in the ’80s — high heels, booty-less pants, and a head full of luxuriously full hair! One of them had to go.
