Jheri curl
The Jheri curl (often spelled Jerry curl or Jeri Curl) is a permed hairstyle that was popular among Black people during the 1980s. Invented by the hairdresser Jheri Redding, the Jheri curl gave the wearer a glossy, loosely curled look. It was touted as a "wash and wear" style that was easier to care for than the other popular chemical treatment of the day, the relaxer.
