“… I don’t understand
why mum makes this hair-do…..It sure makes her look…weird” That was the thought
on our minds 20-30 years ago when the straw curls (Jheri curls) was in vogue.
The Jheri curl was invented in
the 70’s by Jheri Redding, an American hairdresser,
Chemist
and hair care
product Entrepreneur.

This trend was worn by celebrities- The Jacksons, Lionel Richie amongst others. This trend was satirized in the movie “Coming to America” as it featured individuals with, dripping wet hair.
Gone are those days when one has
to worry about pillows been saturated with the “juice”- The curls look
different now; they are drier, last for days and just look better as the week
progresses.
Watch out!!! This
trend is back and hey!!! It isn’t going anywhere anytime soon or ever!
