Can people with natural hair get jheri curls?

Answer:
If you mean a 1980s Michael Jackson jheri curl, sure, but that's a chemical process so the hair wouldn't be 'natural' anymore. It's the equivalent of white people getting a perm, and is EXTREMELY harsh on virgin black/negro hair. Getting your hair professionally texturized is a safer bet, as it is a very mild relaxer. Also, depending on the texture of your hair, you can fake a jheri without damaging your hair. Check Youtube videos for how-tos if you want to try it on your own. Another way to get a more manageable texture of hair, if that's what you're hoping for, it to religiously roll your hair in curlers at night. This is a protective hairstyle that stretches the strands of your natural hair over time. It encourages growth as well.
