“Jheri Redding (born Robert William Redding March 2, 1907 – March 15, 1998) was an American hairdresser, chemist, hair care products entrepreneur and businessman. Redding is best known for having created the Jheri curl.”
However, we can also pay homage to Comer Cottrell who decided we all needed dirty pillow shams, and sweaty necks.This man created a greasy hot sweaty mess on the necks of all our relatives in the early 1970’s and 1980’s and the 90’s decided it was enough of this Armor Oil foolishness.
I remember my mom had this epidemic, and we were in the restaurant, “California Dreaming” and the salad was of course saturated with plum tomatoes, and I bit into one, and the juice from the tomato burst into her hair and she didn’t notice a thing.
The tomato juice, just made it self at home…
RIP: Sherrick
