$950 Jherri Curl?! 😯 Gina Curl vs Jherri Curl 101

[@therecessionista6271]

My mom went to cosmetology school in the late 80'. Since my little sister had "good" hair, I became the guinea pig. I used to get bullied for having a curl when it went out of style in school. Then one day she decided to give me a relaxer and all of my edges fell out. I spent the entire 5th grade having to wear a headband and a fro because she wouldn't do anything else with my hair to let it grow back out. Boys would snatch my headband off and run away with it! And how can i forget when she finally put the curl back in and in 7th grade she decided to try and hot comb my roots. My scalp was covered in sores and scabs and i had to be taken out of school for 2 weeks due to everyone seeing the scabs. Fast-forward, I've been natural with my curly 4b-4c hair since 2014. Hair was a nightmare for me growing up.

I grew up in China (both my parents are black and were working at the embassy there) and even all the way to Beijing Jherri curl made its way! My mom had it for about a year and then decided the upkeep was too time-consuming and dropped it. I still remember the smell and stains lol!! Lovely and very informative video. I ain't going back to no chemicals! This year will be year 13 of me being relaxer-free woohoo 🤗!!

[@ossier2796]

Too each his own but I’m really loving my natural hair which if you’re using a gel you end up with different textures as your wash and go starts to get dehydrated. The bottom line is everything we do with our hair requires time and care. Believe me I’ve learned this from being natural in the late 60’s-early 70’s.

I actually got a jherri curl 3 days ago because i was so tired of natural hair and the stress of it. I opted for the dry jherri curl option. Yes you can do the wet or dry and i love it. No more stress. Maybe one day ill go back to natural but for now im loving it. I could never style my natural hair. Its always to frizzy or i do a bomb twist out and step outside and poof its tiny afro. I just couldnt deal with it no more. So im trying this out just to say i did it and so far so good.

[@alisameireis3628]

I had a Jheri Curl back in the day. I didn’t keep it wet (I guess I missed that requirement!) and my hair looked like a perpetual wash-n-go. For me, the experience was the same as having a relaxer…except my hair was permanently curly as the outcome, instead of straight. By comparison, my natural hair texture (13 months post big chop) is basically the Jheri Curl without shrinkage and a tiny bit looser curl pattern. That said, no chemicals here! Thanks, but No Thanks! I’ll take my curl pattern in all it’s glory (shrinkage and all!). 🥰

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@setapartaay925]

I remember having the JC back in the 80s. My hair grew so fast and as I came into my 9th yr of being natural, I finally realized why! It was the same method of natural hair….keeping it moisturized, leaving it alone, and using the baggy method for EXTRA moisture! A recipe for substantial growth!! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@lesliehollaway9321]

I totally agree with you. JC are the same method as natural hair.

[@GoldenSighlence]

My mom told me the same thing! She uses the blue and white spray bottle that is intended to keep the Jheri Curl moisturized. I use it AND seal it with castor oil.

That's how it happened with everyone I know with a curl

[@debra1077]

Yassszz...I'm 67 and just got a JC again after many years. I would do the SCurl or texture kits. And I swear my hair grew!! It's because your hair and scalp is moisturizer and you massage your scalp which helps the blood flow. And before you know it you have hair. You can keep your JC moisturizer by using a good activator after washing it and then once it's good and moisturizer I use a cream activator which is not all wet and drippy. Believe I've did my own hair and still have hair. And props to Ms.Gina but it doesn't take $950 to do no curl. That's BS. My sister did my hair within 2 1/2 hours just because I wanted to stay under the dryer a bit longer. I don't know know what Ms.Gina is charging for. It's not that many steps in a curl. Carefree offers a curl which was called the Reversa Curl...where you can wear it curly or blow dry it straight. I've had them both. Then I just went with the SCurl...it was easier No rods and it worked with my hair . And still have hair ❤

[@mrscandip1979]

A curly perm for yt people is like 95$ and up.so maybe 150 200$ and up on the high end because let is extra steps. But 950 they done lost their mind.

I remember my relaxed days dealing with those 2 textures. It’s not for me. But like you said I’m glad the chemicals are getting safer for those who want to do that.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Exactly! The people who will do it were going to doing some kind of treatment anyway. Might as well be safer!

[@anndeecosita3586]

I used to have a Wave Nouveau in high school and I didn’t have to constantly keep it wet. I actually wore my hair straight sometimes. You just can’t overdo it with the heat. I know people nowadays who have a WN and the products are sold in Sally’s. I have seen KZbin videos with women straightening their hair who have a WN. I have been natural for a very long time but I would definitely get a WV over a relaxer if I was doing a chemical. Jheri Curl is really a brand name. My mother went to cosmetology school in the 80s and what she was putting in white women’s hair were curly perms but not Jheri Curls. BTW a lot of older WW I know get perms to create volume because otherwise their hair looks flat and lifeless.

[@GabrielaMeredith]

From what I’ve seen it looks nice for 4-8 months. After that women experience severe breakage to the point where they have to start all over. The Gina Curl update videos alone turned me off this style. The worst part is that after the style damages your hair the stylist will blame you, stating that you didn’t upkeep the style properly.

But the second time I had it done it was a lady that they had trained and I don't think she was she knew what she was doing my hair was a hot mess it wasn't curled good she put too large rollers in my hair and didn't even ask me what size I wanted I didn't think I had to tell her because I never told Gina and my curls wear good also it did not last long I was not happy plus it's still thinned out even though I took very good care of my hair and followed instructions and got the right products they told me to get.

She stopped because fornmula changed and wasn’t doing the job any more . I’m prepared to take on that price if it means some growth and hair freedom

Your breads look very nice and neat. Kudos to you!😊

I don't think the Gina curl should be compared to the Jherri Curl of the 80s and 90s, but perhaps the curl systems of today. I haven't seen a wet dripping curl since the Coming to America movie. I am not aware of any curl that requires constant moisturizing. I would choose a $65 Wave Neaveau everytime, it's versatile as well. It can be worn curly or straight and is pretty good as a wash and go. Plus it doesn't take nine hours, maybe three. I'd still like to see the justification to charge $500. All hair needs moisture especially if chemically treated.

[@kaybuckner-seal2126]

You didn’t compare pics of Gheri vs Gina!

[@porchiaholly1249]

Did you get info on how much the touch up is for gcurl?

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

No I didn’t. Apparently each salon chooses their own pricing model.

[@cheshiredj]

So around $950 ? I have too many other uses for that money! But for those that don't mind spending that, I hope they love it.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Everyone values something. Like you said, I hope anyone who invests finds success. Happiness is the goal!

[@GinaCurl]

The home of the GinaCurl starts their price at $650, the process takes anywhere between 6-8 hours to do and the clients come back only twice a year. We have been servicing clients from around the globe since 2012. Some of our clients are on their 20th GinaCurl and still loving the health and the length of their hair.

[@lds9312]

Dang, girl you are good and your info is right on point. 👍🏽😊. Thank you doing this video.

[@rekon9248]

Design essentials make a great curl product that is not wet. So, I'm confused as to why people are comparing old products when the curl hasn't been wet for decades now. My mom still does them at 71 for her clients that still want her to, even though she's retired since 55. My sister and I are both master cosmetologist as well. We have do curls periodically, and they aren't wet anymore! Gina is definitely using the same steps but seemingly minimized. However, get ya money, Gina. Check out Design Essentials, though.❤

[@shericelanaetv7417]

With the Jerry curl didn’t you have to keep your hair wet all the time? With this you don’t.

[@Realness111]

Ahhh history loves repeating itself. The 70s we were natural proudly. Then the gherri curl followed after that.. than full blown perm. Not only that, many girls try to mimic those textures anyway.. so going permanent with it doesn’t surprise me. Great video.

[@belindawolf4022]

Love your hair, did you go to a salon?

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

No, I did it myself. I have a youtube video on knotless braids you can check out!

[@sheba653161]

Thought about it for a hot second until I remembered that price in the title lol

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

🤣

[@Eneri-z9v]

In my case eight dollars times four boxes. I need a box for six inches of length. It can get rather pricey if I did it myself. Right now it would be two boxes that's if I consider doing it.

[@HonorableSienna]

10:09 you can do this with nouveau system. Gina curl shouldn’t be compared to the original Jeri Curl created by Robert William Redding that was a wet curl.

[@brittchatman6398]

Because I got a curly perm by a black stylist and it looks exactly like the Gina curl i don’t have to keep it wet or do I use plastic cap at night I use a regular hair bonnet I paid 180$and got the same results as Gina curl that lady is getting over on people.

[@Angelswhispers83]

Thank you…all of them are chemicals and not good for you 😊

[@All_forthelove]

Im just finding out about this and I do love the idea but I’d be worried about it breaking off.

[@mary6134]

No thank you. I had a JC when I was a teenager for months. I prefer my type 4 hair, much easier.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Same 🥰

[@SkyeID]

I got the Carefree Curl in the early 1990's when I was 14. Unless I kept spraying activator on it every few hours a day, I had a dry crunchy rat's nest, and it was embarrassing! I'll just stay natural, thanks!

[@OnTheRightSide47]

I have the Gina curl on the straight parts of my curly hair. I’m mixed and no matter what I always have bone straight pieces around my bangs and sides. My hair is not colored, and I use heat MAYBE once every 3-4 months or longer. So it’s not damaged hair it’s always been like that lol. Anyway, I didn’t know this it was called “Gina Curl” but I know this is what my hair girl did. I love it! She was able to make the straight hair match the rest of my curls lol. I’m always on the go so I love being able to run out the door knowing my hair is done.

[@andreabillingsley2686]

This was an awesome video. Some people better have some serious disposable income for those price points on the Gina Curl.

[@joimonae4090]

I have low porosity hair and when my hair feels dry rough and hard to moisturize I will do a simple clay hair mask with bentonite clay about two table spoons of apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup of the clay and enough water to get it to a medium paste you can adjust the amount accordingly to your thickness and length but I make sure no not add too much vinegar I notice the high ph in the clay is what helps soften my low porosity hair so if you have higher porosity definitely add more vinegar but it makes my hair so soft and manageable and better able to absorb products I can even detangle my hair while the clay is still wet in my hair once it dries I rinse it out and deep condition no Gina curl needed ❤😅

[@Ebizzill]

girl.. my uncle Parker n'em had them long juicy soul glo'esque curls... all for under 50 bucks with maintenance. I mean he bald now, but still tho... he had it going on... for as long as he could.

Hairstylists and influencers are pricing out black women in the name of exclusive luxury. Good luck with that we are good at making sometHing ouT of nothing. We don’t need expensive overpriced hairstyles or systems we will do for our selves

[@brittchatman6398]

Yes I have curly perm and I paid 180$ it looks identical to this so call Gina curl . It upsets me how people try to get over on us.

[@malina1925]

If u have heating irons too hot on any type of hair it will break off and with the Jerry curl any perm any relaxer even dye will break your hair off if u not taking care of it properly your natural hair will damage or and break off if u don’t take care of it with a chemical u got to take care of it even morrreeeee I use to get curls then sometimes wash and blow dry straight then get it pressed all the time so I know

Hi, the Gina curl sucks, I got one and my bra strap length hair broke off lmao I paid 850 and literally had to sign a waiver

[@SkyeID]

did the waiver say you won't sue if your hair breaks off?

[@drj7572]

🤦🏿‍♀️ It was not much more expensive than a relaxer in a hair salon. What is happening?!

[@shirronknox8172]

How well do the ginacurl work on grey hair will it turn grey hair green

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I don’t know. I’ve linked the Instagram/tiktok accounts of the hairstylist I know of that specialize in them. You should reach out!

[@ladyj5682]

Gina curl if it lasts 7 months then that like about 140 month so it isnt teally that expensive if it lasts. I wanna find a gina curl stylists😊

[@Onlytherawtruth]

It's the same active Chemical thioglycolate's. Just to different brands.

[@kimberlysimmons2240]

I think she just skipped the straightening process. The ammonia thioglocolate takes a long time to relax the curl pattern

[@athandog]

Do you think someone from the Mediterranean with curl type 3a could benefit from this or does it just destroy the natural curls? 😭

[@aliyabowie3844]

It’s the two textures of hair that would be the biggest deterrent. Idk how ppl can stand it. I went natural 24 years ago and I refused to do the big chop because I didn’t want short hair.😩 It was such a struggle. I remember when I finally cut off what was left of the processed ends. My ends curled up so beautifully and I’m not saying wash day became easy but it went from a level 10 difficulty to a level 6 and I’ll take it. And everyday care and styling definitely went from a 10 to a 3.

I never had a curl but my mom and cousins did. One time after I got my hair washed I had sprayed curl activator all through my hair and went to bed 😂. The next day, my cousin was trying to hit comb my hair and it was curling in some parts and frizzing in others. She couldn’t figure it out and kept asking what I put in it. I didn’t wanna get in trouble so I kept saying nothing. She said forget it and just braided my hair 😂

I think it’s a great option for those who want and can afford it but it’s a no for me lol

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Though I wouldn’t use it, I’m happy companies are looking for other options outside of sodium hydroxide and relaxers to cater to the people that are going to use hair texture altering chemicals anyway.
