My hair was greasy enough by itself. I never used brylcreem, I was a Vitalis kid. Pour a little of that magical V7 into my palm, work it through my hair, and I had a nice alcohol smell to go with my naturally greasy hair. Now all I have to do is give the ole noggin a shine now and again. No more...
