A fadish hairstyle popular with African Americans in the 80's. Tightly curly "black" hair is chemically treated to be long an wavy. Jerry Curls had to be "rewetted" constantly with Jerry Curl activator to prevent drying out. Jerry Curl "juice" is responsible for staining millions of coat and shirt collars, automobile headrests, and sofa backs.
The Jerry Curl fad is one that many blacks would rather forget.
