English term or phrase: Jeri curl
Fara context. Este vorba despre o coafura din anii '70-'80, cred ca un fel de permanent (dat cu ulei?briantina?). Exista si leisure curl - care poate fi diferenta?

permanent cu efect de "par umed"
Explanation:
Tot eu am mai raspuns la asta mai demult. Iata explicatia:

Jeri Curls = Popular for the African Americans (mostly men). Looked like a shiny, wet perm. See: Michael Jackson, circa "Beat It" video; also see: Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America" movie with it's Jeri curl parody (featuring today's ER's Eriq LaSalle), "Soul Glow". The term Jeri Curl was named for the solution you sprayed in your hair to get the desired effect.

Din cate am citit, stilul Jeri curls este specific afro-americanilor si anilor \'80. Mai mult, este folosit in mare parte in stil peiorativ, ca ceva demodat, ridicol si cu aspect neingrijit. Nu cred ca poate fi gasit o traducere echivalenta in limba romana, avand in vedere ca la noi in tara nu a existat asa ceva. Permanentul (sau fixarea) cu efect de par umed ar fi cel mai apropiat. E un stil folosit azi in saloanele de coafura, inclusiv la noi. Dar se pierde restul semnificatiei... referirea precisa la anii \'80 si la afro-americani. Pana la urma sunt de parere ca orice traducere \"tradeaza\" si dauneaza sensului expresiei. O explicatie e singura solutie posibila.
Cat despre \"leisure curl\" e mai simplu, cred ca Gvarzaru are dreptate... permanent usor sau lejer.

Am ales pana la urma o alta varianta: "bucle unse", ca sa sune si ironic - daca nu chiar peiorativ. Oricum, toate raspunsurile mi-au fost utile, si le multumesc tuturor.
