Ever wondered exactly where the curly perm as we know it came from? Well, I did & decided to do some research. And of course the information was very limited. It seems that the "jheri" curl had controversial beginnings. Some credit Jheri Rhedding as the father of the Jheri Curl but others give credit to an African American man by the name of Willie Morrow. His creation was called the California Curl. Here's an interesting video clip I found on Willie Morrow. Brings back bittersweet memories of the show "Oh Drama."
