A press -n- curl, perm, shoot even a natural (and jheri curls were about as natural as we got in the 80s)! LOL [/B][/QUOTE]
Eclipse, you have a great point. In '81, you saw all types of hair on sistahs, even in San Diego (6% black). I started wearing a modified jheri because I didn't want my Mom or
anyone coming near me with a straightening comb.
My sister, a stylist for nearly 30 years, always made sure that I didn't overdo it with the activator.
