I used to rock a curl back in the early 80s thru the late 80s. It is what it is..

If you weren't born then or old enuff to wipe your ass during that time, then you wouldn't understand.

Back in the day, it was a style that some nikkas wore, depending on where you were reared and raised.

I don't think anyone who had a curl claimed it to be the best hair style. But, whoever had one liked it when it was fashionable.

Lastly, jheri curls weren't the only curls to exist. You had California curls, box curls and S Curls. Once again, they were in style at one time, then it went away to some other shyt. nikkas used to have perms and rock rolllers in their hair while others rocked braids, high top fades, gumbys and a host of other styles of it's time...

OP..

I am not offended at you attempting to clown, but maybe you were just too young to know what was in style when they were in style.

nikkas had to walk round with towels around they necks to keep the juice from drenching they shoulder pads and shyt

Deadass question tho, was juicing once a day enough or did u have to carry the bottle around in case of an emergency?

Were the bottles a lifelong supply like those Murray pomades?

those "curly fro" styles nyc was rocking in mid 1990s were jheri curls also

I see what u did there

 

[AmenhotepIV]

The Jherri curl helped your hair grow fast without the pulled hairline and headaches from braids

So I have heard

Yes and no. For a host of reasons. But, my point is in my original post is that a hair style is a hair style. I personally don’t knock any hair style, especially if it was popular whenever it was in style.

Oh, I have no problem laughing at myself for rockin a curl, but I don’t think it was trash, at least back in the day when there were in style. Back in the day, where I was from, curls were poppin! Then, it faded a way for many while some people kept wearing them into the 90s and beyond. For me, I cut my shyt off in 87 and never looked back.

Let me ask you..

Do you think wearing locs is trash? Was A.I.s braids trash? Also, did you know that in the 70’s people made fun of dudes who rocked bald heads? Now, you see all kinds people with them, even cross culturally.

Lastly, have you ever been to a beauty supply shop that caters to Black hair? If so, have you seen a row with only “spray” dedicated to curls? Like any other hair style, there were different products. I used to use gel to moisturize my shyt. I also wore a curl bag when I slept. But, that was many moons ago..

/thread, it's just jokes my G. No need for the soliloquies.
When I have kids and they look back at my pics from that swag era (late 2000s/early2010s) and clown me for the Mohawks and aeropostale/abercrombie, ed hardy etc. Imma laugh wit em cause that shyt was trash too in retrospect


















But this thread ain't bout that, it's bout that combustible ass hairstyle yall were rockin

 

[datnigDASTARDLY]

Full disclosure; mom's supported and implemented the gheri curl for me and my brother in the late 80s .

Now, she claimed that me and my brehs naps was too strong and she got tired of trying to pick them muhfukas out every morning before school .

She was right tho, we went through countless picks and pink lotion...but the problem persisted brethren .

One faithful weekend she committed the sin without my pops knowledge , all the while convincing her poor young children the the gheri curl and proper juicing maintenance was, in fact "in style" and a much cleaner..cheaper solution .

Fortunately pops returned home and immediately smelled the destruction is wife was committing on her boys and demanded that she stop...but it was too late, the damage had been done and the bottles of s-curl juice covered the floor.

Mom and pops argued for many days and nights and we was forbidden to play outside for my own father's fear and, from his perspective, our acceptance of the curls .

All in all, we lost a lot as a family unit during that time brehs , we were never the same.

You used rock a Mohawk, but trying to roast me over a curl? Lol Ok.

We come from 2 different eras, so I will just conclude that you will never understand people having certain tastes and styles of their era.

I kind of rock a curl now my hair is naturally curly and a little Cantu conditioner makes it loose and silky.
