Other notable wearers of the style in the 1980s and early 1990s include rappers MC Eiht, DJ Quik, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Hi-C, Arabian Prince and B.G. The Jheri curl was worn by Michael Jackson on the cover of his hit album Thriller, which was released in 1982.Įdmund Sylvers was the first African-American artist to have the Jheri curl on an album cover, on his 1980 Casablanca release Have You Heard. To resolve the problems associated with the cost of the look, Comer Cottrell invented a cheap kit (which he called the "Curly Kit") that could be used at home, thereby enabling lower-income people to copy the style of their idols. As the hair grows out, the wearer is required to touch up the new hair growth, further adding to the overall expense. Washing the hair cleanses it of the styling products and also shows the damage done to the hair by the chemical process.

The activator in particular has the undesirable side effect of being very greasy, and often stains clothing and furniture. These products are expensive a typical bottle of activator was small, retailed from $3 to $6, and was quickly depleted. To maintain the look of the Jheri curl, wearers are required to apply a curl activator spray and moisturizers daily, and sleep with a plastic cap over the hair to prevent it from drying out. The chemicals required for the process often cause the wearer's natural hair to become brittle and dry. "Perming" is time and labor-intensive, and expensive to maintain. The looser curls are then set and a chemical solution is then added to the hair to permanently curl it. The rearranging cream uses pungent chemicals, causing the naturally tight curls to loosen. A Jheri curl requires a two-part application that consists of a softener (often called a "rearranging cream") to loosen the hair, and a solution to set the curls.
