agree Elizabeth Adams : I would just add something about it being an African-American hairstyle; by definition I cannot have jeri curls

If you really want to translate it, say something like \"curly permanent wave that is covered with a shiny gel\"

Here is a definition I found. Maybe this will inspire you with your translation:

Hairstyles worn by mostly African Americans. It required getting your hair \"processed.\" In essence, it is a cold wave process. Sometimes curlers are used and you must wear a shower cap while you have the curlers in. You get an over-all curly style, which you must keep moisturized by using a \"curl activator.\" The curl activator was sprayed on the hair. It smelled and soiled the back of your neck and shirt collar. It was a horrible time in the history of black hair care. Some people still wear this style, believe it or not

agree Alina Matei : Michael Jackson in thriller or Eddie Murphy in 'Coming to America'. Preserve the term in English :)

"мокрая" химия

За научность термина не поручусь, а в простореччии это так называют.

Юбки короче некуда, на лице боевая раскраска, вместо косичек - "мокрая" химия.
