I wore Jheri Curls all through the 1980's until 1993. Now I want to make a comeback!!

The Jheri curl is S tier. Been wearing it since 2012. Cheap, easy to maintain and looks good. Legendary.

I heard it will be making a comeback! In all honesty it was not a bad hairstyle at all, I was not around during it's first run, but I am glad to be around for it this time.

Get ready for the smell...there's a distinct Jheri Curl smell...not bad ...just distinct... that comes with heavy presence of people with Jheri Curls. So much so....that just seeing the pictures makes me able to smell 1986 again.

Who cares about being judged, it's still a kick ass hair style today 🎉

I must say, I've always been curious about this style and how it came about. Good video.

Being I'm biracial, if I put a lot of gel in my hair it looks like a Jheri curl. Being the hard core Punk fanatic that was in the 1980s and 1990s I would try to transform my high yellow afro into liberty spikes by using a whole bottle of hair gel which would go back to curls the minute I stepped out of the house. Thank you Poly Styrene for being my Punk look alike.

@@BlackExcellenceMedia Shame on you for not crediting or mentioning Classy Curl, especially when during this video the clips of the commercial was made famous back in the 1980's. Sure, Curly Kit was the first among home curl kits back then, but it's totally worthless if you're not mentioning Classy Curl-the official old-school sponsor of Soul Train back from 1980 to 1987.

Yes I had the Jeri curl in 1984 when I was 10. I got it the summer before I began fourth grade. That was the downfall of my hair. In 1985 it had killed it. I went to a press and curl for a few months until I got my first Dark and Lovely perm. It was over then. By 1996 I began to see people with dread locks and desired them. I was in Tennessee. I move to Seattle that same year and got all the perm cut off. I went natural for the first the with a short curly fade. I wasn't don't in 1997 I was in a perm again due to pressure of my boyfriend at the time. The end of that year I chopped off my hair again and was natural. In 1998 I put in a box Duke process to curl my hair. Then I entered another relationship with a guy who wanted me to get a wave nouveau. I rocked that and Jeri curl until December 1999. I was done and back in the natural fade. So in 2002 that fall was my last relaxer. I was 28 when I gave of the straighting chemicals. Since then I wear afro, locks, or twists. God is good I have my hair on the sides and edges. I stopped chemicals just in time. My advice to Black women is stop perming the hair by the age of 25. I had one grandmother who was 107 when she died. She never used perms or Jeri curls . Her hair was long until her 80's 90's. The other grandmother permed her hair often then got a press every week, because that was a sign of affluence to get your hair done weekly. But she had a huge bald spot in the top of her head that was not coming back. So her stylist should have warned her of what she was doing instead of taking her money.

The grown black man knows you can't clown him because he doesn't follow trends, he has his own style and moves to his own beat with confidence and women love confidence in a man!

Im just finding out a white man named Jheri...invented the Jheri curl. ...that blows my mind. For no reason, i just googled who invented the Jheri Curl , thinking how that black man or women must have gotten rich off of it....and then I see Jheri Reddings face 😂😂😂😂 just wasn't expecting that

Does anybody else remember a high top fade being called a "box"? I lived in southern Florida in 1988 or '89 and was in high school, and every black kid in the school had a really tall box (like Kid n' Play). That's what they called it. I also remember that at the end of the jheri curl era, the antagonist in the movie would usually have one and be depicted as vain or even kind of dumb. The Good Guy would have natural hair.

Its never really left..people in my country wears it a lot

My mother sure had a Jheri Curl back in 1984 when I was just the innocent age of 5 years old. And best believe me when I say so, she, had big, fluffy curls back then-and yes, she did had a Pro-Line Curly kit at that era, too. Did I run my fingers through my mom's hair back then? You bet I did. Now ,my mother is 63 (she will be 64 next month), and her hair is all natural, no need for chemicals. As for myself, I could never get a Jheri Curl, not even if it was still the 1980's if I went back in time. And the reason is for the excruciating chemicals,, the foul stench while processing, having to wear rollers, and most importantly, also having to wear a plastic cap every day, and every night. So, it would be a real pain if the chemically processed Jheri curls would make a comeback, but then again, it stll looks good on some people.

That garret morgan guy also modernized traffic signals and created a suit that could withstand harmful fumes in a fire

My mother had a Jheri curl til she gave birth to my older brother and 18 months later she gave birth to me

Didn't you need to keep applying activator to keep it from drying out? Can you make it yourself? I heard they stopped making it.
