The core product for getting the Jheri curl is a perm. And, a perm can be quite damaging to natural hair, according to Mild Wild. The outlet added that keeping the products in your hair for an extended period of time can leave your hair dry and brittle. Furthermore, the "rising process" also risks your hair's health as rinsing out the products opens the hair to secondary damage. Lastly, even if you decide to go through with a Jheri curl, the process is extremely expensive, especially if you want a stylist that will maintain your hair's health.
That said, you can still get that Lionel Richie hairstyle without applying a perm solution or an activator. As Byrdie reported, there are heatless Jheri curls. Simply apply some curl activator gel on wet hair (the outlet recommends using the brand S Curl) and some oils. It may take some practice, but there are also YouTube videos to help you, Byrdie said. And, if those don't work, you can always invest in a good wig.
