How to make straight hair into jerry curls?

I was born with jerry curls but my mom said that my hair was too thick. Now my hair is straight. How do I make into jerry curls again?


Does it have to be natural?How to make straight hair into jerry curls?
Haha! Nooooo. Nobody is born with a jheri curl. A jheri curl is a relaxer that ALTERS your hair texture to look curly. Now, you might have meant to say: ';I was born with naturally curly hair but...'; If you're saying that your hair is straight because you permed your hair then, yes. You must be natural in order for your hair to be curly. Which means, you will have to do a BC and cut off all the permed hair. Thick is beautiful. I hate thin hair.How to make straight hair into jerry curls?
You don't have jeri curls because a jeri curl is a curly perm (a chemical that makes the hair curly). You have natural curls. If you don't want your natural curls then you can grow out your relaxer, cut off the relaxed ends, and get a curly perm to make your hair curly. You can't put a curly perm on top of a relaxer because you're hair will fall out, so you have to grow out your relaxed hair first. Also, you can't just go out and buy some curl activator and buy small rods - that doesn't make a jeri curl. I've gone from a jeri curl to a relaxer and my hairdresser had to cut off all the jeri curled hair in order to apply the relaxer, and it's the same way if you're going from a relaxer to a jeri curl. They're not exactly the same chemicals, because if they were then people would easily be able to switch between relaxer and jeri curl whenever they wanted.





BTW, jeri curls are out of style, so you'll probably be better of wearing your own curls rather than faux curls. Plus, I think thick hair is much better than limp, thin hair.
Girl.. simply! get the ';care free curl'; spray which is part of the GOLD brand family and you will need to get the smallest hair rollers. break your hair in small sections. each section piece of hair you want to spray it and them roll that piece. once you repeat this until all your hair is in roller handheld blow dryer until it is completely dry. (appox 15-20 mins) or you can use one of the sit in dyers. once it is fully dried, take out the rollers and finger your hair, add more spray for the extra wet look. i hope this helps!
I have relaxed hair but when i want that wet curly look i use ion spray gel from sally's beauty supply store. Its alcohol free and my hair doesnt shrink up after i apply it, in fact it looks better after it dries. Its not a jerry curl look, more when you see a hispanic person with curly hair, thats the look i get.
