In a lively conversation, Faizon Love breaks down the differences between the iconic Jheri Curl and the often overlooked California Curl, celebrating the legacy and myths surrounding these classic hairstyles. Contrary to popular belief, the California Curl was invented by African-American barber and entrepreneur Willie Lee Morrow in 1977, predating the commercial success of the Jheri Curl by nearly a decade. Faizon explains that while the Jheri Curl is known for its tighter, glossier curls and higher maintenance—famously sported by celebrities like Michael Jackson—the California Curl features looser waves, a softer, more natural finish, and requires less activator, making it slightly easier to maintain.

Faizon also credits Ice Cube as the ultimate poster boy for the Jheri Curl, noting that many kept the style going into the early ‘90s, with Ice Cube’s second album marking a notable period before he shaved it off. Their discussion sheds light on the cultural significance and distinct nuances that set these curls apart in African-American hair history.
