I always thought that Lionel Ritchie had the best Jerry Curl.  In his videos, sometimes they'd show him turning his head around, and you'd see a mist of activator fling off his head.  ;D  Back then, there was nothing cooler than a juicy Jerry Curl.  As a white guy I felt left out.  ;D

snoz... what did you do when you finally decided to stop doing the curl?  I've read that when you washed that stuff out, the hair looked all brittle and damaged.  Did you cut it all off? ???

no I wore it brittle and damaged until I went to the salon and got a proper relaxer 

I have ALOT of pictures of me with bad hair because I hate the salon and I hate doing my own hair so I just go out looking like shyt!  :-[
