That's cool Brutha B! I had a friend that did the same thing you did with the plats. Unfortunately, time caught up with him and his hair fell out so he had to let it go (lol).

Oh HEEEEELLLLL naw. I didn't activate shit. Most of time, I didn't use anything to style it. I just texturized it and let it air dry after I got out the shower. My hair looked fuller and the curls were bigger that's all. None of that *spritz* *spritz* *spritz* check mirror *spritz* *spritz* bullshit.

This topic is funny as hell! No where else in the world could folks talk on line about some jheri curls! Dig, my early teens , I did the activator shit. To be precise, I used World of Curls. It had that great blue and silver logo on clear plastic. I remember when I was 13, I used to love going into the hair products store and going over to the World of Curls section. They would have this huge ass display with posters and shit. I thought, "Hey, I could be a model for this shit!". Two things had me stop using that oily ass shit; One, it started to fuck with my skin. My hair always hung past my shoulders, which meant it would fuck up my shirts, jackets. Two, girls would always want to get in my hair, which was cool BUT, when they took their hands out of it, their hands would be shiny as hell. Especially if they were white girls, they weren't hip to this activator shit. So, I cut that shit loose. My hair was always to straight to have a GOOD jheri anyway.

Thanks sinister. Bobby Rush lives in my area. I've met him twice. The last time was last July. I told him I saw those big ass women in his show and he fell out laughing.

oh shit!! I use to use Wurl A Curl! Those BIG ASS clear jars. I used to use too much though. I used the gel and not that spritzy shit.

B..Your story had me on the floor laughin' hard. Yeah that stuff could mess up sone jackets, huh? (lol) Ths one cat I used to go to school with had a nice curl in 1st period, but by 3rd period his shit would lock up and dry out. So he would keep some extra juice on him. He'd be spraying that stuff all day long..He finally gave up and cut it off (lol).

SPYZFAN1 said:

Man, that's crazy as hell!. Look, I wish I did see a cat walking around when I was in school with a bottle. I probably would have had a straight up seizure and shit! I would have been laughing that hard, player!

I'm just trying to get this thread a 100 posts!

How could we forget these mini jherris?

sinisterpentatonic said:

Cowboy Curtis definitely wins....that's beyond a fuckin' jerri curl

a jheri curl mullet

No one could mess with Full Force. Their Jerri Curls were classic (for all the wrong reason)!

Nice one Andy.

If you want to see the booty in action, get a hold of Martin Scorsese's "The Blues" documentary.
Bobby Rush, and his ladies, are featured performers.

Like The Punisher mentioned, add Buddy Guy to the Jheri Curl fatality list.

Going from the Conk...




To the Jheri Curl...




Is probably why he's bald today...



...Either that or he's just trying to hide the gray.

Nope. Bobby, Ricky, and Ronnie had dried-out short Jherris with shags. Go watch the video for "Cool It Now."

ChristopherTracyParade said:

diamondpearl1 said:

LOL! Naw, just go to the thread here that talks about "joints dropped 20 years ago" and go peep the "Blue Moon" album by N.E. and you will see the curls then! And yeah, we OLD!

I found these two records some 15 years ago .
The top-pictured album has a few heavy-funk cuts .
This was the first album i saw in which the artists advertised
for their own trademark-product ( in this case a flyer with hair products ) .
The logo beneath was on that flyer .

These days they seem to do well in the hair-bizniz :

( i think the artists on the record-sleeves are the sons ofthe founders of www.bronnerbros.com )

Another jheri but funky group :

A classic moment , is in the movie "Coming To America":

In a certain scene , the family of a "coming to be fiancee"
visits the other family .
The fiancee's family has like him , a very wet and jheri-look .
When 3 of them simultanously leave the couch , it leaves 3 wet spots on the sofa

I've been trying to find a picture of Keenen as "Jerry Curl" from "Hollywood Shuffle" but I can't find a photo ANYWHERE!

http://www.youtube.com/w/...ne%20girls

It's not the video i linked above , but in the funked-up , bass-slapping "Boys" clip from the MARY JANE GIRLS ,
the gals sing : " Boys with curls , we like a lot ,and boys with braids , are really HOT "
... but this was ofcourse in 1983
