Questions

Is a Jheri curl bad for your hair?
It is a double chemical process — the hair is relaxed first and then permed — so it is one of the harsher services there is. It also has to stay wet with activator, which is where its reputation comes from.
How long does a Jheri curl last?
The curl itself holds about three months before the new growth needs re-doing. The daily part is the activator, which is not optional if you want it to look like the reference rather than like dry damaged hair.
