helmet-hair

Hairstyles worn by African-American women starting around 1990, that was sprayed heavily with hair spritz, so that the hair style did not move, even in strong gusts of wind. Some of these styles include the mushroom bob , the pinapple updo, the freeze and the spiked pixie. Some actresses that made these styles famous were Halle Berry, Jo Marie Payton ( Harriet on Family Matters ), Terri Vaughn, Wendy Robinson. Some R and B singers include group SWV and the group Xscape.

"Man, my sister slept sittin up to maintain that freeze for church , damned helmet-hair!"

Woman says to hair stylist-"Girl give me a Halle Berry!!"
