From natural curls to Jheri curls

From Natural Curls to Stunning Jelly Curls!
This session was a customized Jheri curls for a lovely client visiting from Fiji, who came in with beautifully tight, natural curls. They asked, “Can 4B~4C curls really become defined jheri curls?” — and we were thrilled to say, yes! Together, we made their curl dreams a reality.

Pre-Treatment Checklist

Assessed for damage or excessive dryness
Checked elasticity and moisture to ensure hair was ready for treatment

2. Scalp Sensitivity Check

Looked for signs of irritation, inflammation, or conditions like atopic dermatitis Applied protective products as needed before the service

3. Style Consulation

Talked through their desired curl look: tight, bouncy jheri curls or a looser, galm wave Designed a perm plan tailored exactly to their vision

What Is a Jheri Curl

A Jheri curl is a modern take on the traditional permanent wave. It’s designed to both soften naturally tight curls and create defined, springy curls — all in two steps:

1. Softening (Relaxing)

Used the Buddha Black Perm Kit to gently loosen tightly colied hair

2. Curl Setting

Wrapped the hair around rods based on the desired curl size
Used a neutralizer to lock in the shape for lasting hold

The Result

Smoother, shinier hair with natural, bouncy jelly curls that truly pop!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Can very tight curls really get a Jheri curls?

Absolutely! Even dense 4B~4C curls can achieve stunning jheri curls with the right softening process and timing. If the hair is extremely dry or previously damaged, a pre-treatment is strongly recommended.

Q2. How long does a Jheri curls last?

Typically 6 to 10 weeks. Since new hair grows without the perm, we suggest retouch sessions every 8–12 weeks to keep your curls looking fresh.

Q3. What if my curls start to loosen?

It’s totally normal for curls to relax over time. To revive them:
Use a curl cream + water spray combo to refresh
Apply a curl reactivator to reshape and define
Or embrace the softer texture for a more relaxed, effortless look!
