This is too funny - seen myself on youtube with a Jheri Curl! (LOL)

Oh bwoy,...this was a shock. :grin:
I was scanning through some 80's video's on youtube and came across footage of myself on a TV show which i used to be a dancer on. (I use the word "Dancer" very loosely. :lol:)
It was sort of like a 1980's UK version of Soul Train.
About 3 secs in......i'm the girl on the left with the Jheri curl with really big shoulder pads in my jacket! My sister's the one on the right in the Black hat.
What a sight! :lol:
I know i should'a probably posted on another forum, but thought you'd appreciate seeing the "lovely" hairstyles we were sporting back then.

I was literally looking at 80's Soul Video's and came across one entitled "Five Star on Solid Soul". (Five Star were a British Black Teen Group, sort of like the Jacksons but 3 Girls & 2 Boys).
Anyhoo i was like, "i used to go to that show,...... let me have a look at the clip" and it all came flooding back. :lol:
So i just put "Solid Soul" in the youtube search and lo and behold, the first video that came up - was that one with me and my sis.

I like your hair actually.

The whole joke is, my hair grew by about another 6 inches longer than that -then by the end of 1987 i decided to cut it all off (as the Jheri Curl was no longer in style).
I had a TWA for a while then decided to go for braids, then relaxers and my hair's never been the same since. :nono:

So cool, I wish I could have been on a dance show, working all my 80s moves.

I remember there being some great guests on that show!
People like Run DMC, Ray Parker Jnr, Jimmy Ruffin, Ben E King........and of course not forgetting my beloved Five Star. :lol:
They were very fun times though, the 80's.

ITA ur curl looked nice and healthy. I woulda thought it was natural..fromt his video

I know,........the "trick" was, not putting too much Jheri Curl juice in it. Some people used to put so much of that stuff in their hair,...it was dripping down their backs! Not a good look. :lachen:

Natural again ... this time for good!
LOLOLOL!!! That was awesome. I love the 80's with the big hair and colorful fashions. Your hair looked really nice too.

That was sooo funny! Takes me way back to 80's...Some of those styles were here again in the 90's. Funny hair styles keep revolving to another time and place!
