Jheri is a popular hairstyle that originated in the 1970s and became widely recognized in the 1980s. It involves tightly curled or permed hair, often styled in a way that creates a voluminous and bouncy look. The term "Jheri curl" is derived from the name of the hairstylist Jheri Redding, who developed the technique and products used to achieve this distinctive style. The Jheri curl is characterized by its shiny, moist appearance, which is typically maintained with specific hair care products. This hairstyle was particularly popular among African American communities and was often associated with various cultural movements, including the rise of hip-hop and R&B music during that era.
