Sporting the Jheri Curl

So we're all massive fans of the standard jib indie haircut, but i think you will all want to diversify in the coming autumn months. I feel the dedicated indies will attempt to rock the Jheri Curl in an effort to level themselves up from the mainstream indie home-job haircuts.



The Jheri curl requires time, money, and professionals. Your Valiumed up lifepartner/housemate/girlfriend/child/boyfriend/wife/business-partner simply will not have the skills to help you out on this style. So unfortunately the Jheri curl quest will require a visit to your twitched out pro hairdresser/hairstylist (I don't know which one they like to be called).

I have been intrigued by the Jheri curl for about eight and a half years now. And always wondered how it is done. So I did a fair bit of research and this is the jist of it (summary from Wiki-P):

1. hit some product called 'softener'
2. once the hair is loose, wind it up on some perm-rods (damn good word, will probably be the name of my first born)
3. set the permed hair with some other type of chemical to make the perm permanent.
4. moisturize the hair like it is your dried-out dehydrated child
5. sleep with a plastic shower cap on

Found this documentary after i did the above research (good confirmation of what I found on Wiki-P):


Kapow!
