Jheri Curls: The Height of 1985 Fashion
1985 was the year of the Jheri curl, a hairstyle so big it had its own gravitational pull. This style was born in the 1970s but reached its peak in the mid-80s, when it was worn by everyone from Whitney Houston to Whitney Houston's Cousin, Jermaine.
The Jheri curl was a curl that defied gravity, a style that said, "I'm so big, it's not going anywhere." It was a style that required Afro-Spray and a Setting Curl Former to achieve its majestic peaks.
We can't forget the Moonlight Rakers of Miami, who made the Jheri curl a Miami Vice of hairstyles.
