Perfect Hair Forever is an adult animated television show created by Mike Lazzo (one of the Adult Swim's Vice-Presidents), Matt Harrigan, and Matt Maiellaro (the co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force) on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim. It is a parody of the anime genre and ran for over nine episodes. The main plot of the series is about a young boy named Gerald (voiced by Kim Manning) going on a quest to get Perfect Hair from Tuna Mountain to remedy his premature baldness. The series first premiered on November 7th, 2004 to replace an unfinished pilot episode of the Adult Swim series Squidbillies, which was followed by an Anime Talk Show afterwards. The rest of the first season would later premiere in 2005, with the total of five new episodes. The series would eventually get a seventh episode later on in 2007, which originally ended the series with the total of seven episodes due to cancellation. Seven years later, two additional episodes would premiere unannounced on April 1st, 2014 as apart of Adult Swim’s annual April Fools’ Day stunt (expanding the episode count from seven to nine, or eight if you count "Muscular Distraction - B" as a second verison of "Muscular Distraction - A" with differences).

Any use of the word F--K is censored as an "eff" sound in the series. This sound effect was later used in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series.
There were over two songs dedicated to the series titled "Perfect Hair" and "Perfect Hair II" respectively. These songs were apart of Danger Doom’s album, The Mouse and the Mask. The first song contained a sample of Geoff Bastow's Take Heart while the second contained a sample of Simon Haseley's Hogan's Thing and audio clips of the episodes "TiVo Your eBay", "Happy Suck Day", and "Woke Up Drunk."
During April Fools’ Day of 2007, all of the episodes of Perfect Hair Forever were played in reverse order while having English subtitles. However, at some point, one of the subtitles shown on the screen were actually those of an episode of the Adult Swim series Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
A clip from the episode "Tusk" can be seen on the Aqua Teen’s television in Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters.
Gerald himself made a cameo in the "Hair" episode of the Adult Swim series Off The Air where he is shown in the Virtual reality haircut simulator footage segment of DigInfo.
