SOUL GLO Heavyweight Unisex Crewneck T-shirt

Ah, Coming to America—a comedy classic! And at the heart (or should we say scalp?) of this 1988 masterpiece is none other than Soul Glo, the ultimate Jheri curl hair product.

Eddie Murphy’s film follows Prince Akeem of Zamunda, who ventures to Queens, New York, in search of a woman who will love him for who he is—not just because he’s royalty. But standing in his way? A shiny, well-moisturized symbol of 1980s excess: Darryl Jenks, the ultimate Soul Glo spokesman.

Soul Glo isn’t just a hair product—it’s a lifestyle. With its unforgettable jingle (“Just let your soooooul glooooo!”), it represents everything artificial and superficial that Akeem is trying to avoid. Darryl, played by Eriq La Salle, is the perfect embodiment of this: a preening, self-absorbed boyfriend whose dripping Jheri curl stains couches and car headrests alike.

The product’s presence in the film is pure comedic gold. From the hilarious over-the-top commercial to the moment when Darryl and his family leave their greasy imprints behind, Soul Glo is more than a punchline—it’s a symbol of excess, vanity, and everything that contrasts with Akeem’s humble, sincere quest for love.

Would Coming to America be the same without Soul Glo? Absolutely not. It’s a perfect touch of satire in a film that balances romance, comedy, and cultural contrast brilliantly.

So tell me—did you ever just let your Soul Glo? 😆
