About 1985's Greatest Hairstyle Trend: Jheri Curl

The Height of Fashion

Jheri Curl, the hairstyle of the gods, was born from the minds of Jheri Redmon, a hairstylist with a vision for the ages. In 1985, this style was the epitome of cool, with its sleek, curved locks and majestic volume. It was the go-to 'do for anyone looking to make a statement.

With its roots in the African American community, Jheri Curl became a symbol of pride and self-expression. People of all walks of life donned their Jheri Curls, from celebrities to regular folks, and the style quickly spread like wildfire.

But beware, for the Jheri Curl was not without its challenges. Maintaining the perfect curl took hours of styling, hairspray, and hairsalon visits. It was a commitment, indeed, but one that many were willing to take on.
