    FT: American Crew Defining Paste and Tigi B Matte Seperation for AC Fiber

    So I bought a jar of Defining Paste(used 3 times) and a jar of Tigi B Matte Seperation Wax(used 3 times). I bought them to try as alternatives to Crew Fiber which I've used for years. My hair has been thinning out a bit lately so I thought I'd try something not so heavy, turns out my hair only...

    Brylcreem- Where to buy?

    $7.49 is absolutly nothing compared to some hair products. Even if you find it for a few bucks cheaper online your going to have to pay to have it shipped. I used to like royal crown pomade and had to have it shipped and the shipping was more than the actual product.

    Pomade

    Yeah, but I usually need something extra on the sides, thats where the black and white comes in. I like the sides shiney and the top more dry.

    Pomade

    I'm a big user of crew fiber and although not technically a pomade that stuff cannot be put into your hair when it's dry.

    Pomade

    The American Crew stuff is water soluble there for mixing it with water I guess would have some sort of effect. But the other stuff, "real" pomade is not water soluble, argo it's pointless to mix it with water. Try pouring some water ontop of your open tin of murrays. Whenever I put...

    Pomade

    Haha! I've got about 13 of the main pomade brands. Problem is I only used some once or twice.

    How do you change your oil?

    I have in the past, but sometimes that can cause my thin hair to be really weak and break and look dried out and damaged. Plus that hardcore scrubbing to get the wax out doesn't seem to healthy.

    How do you change your oil?

    Do you ever wash all the pomade out of our hair? I try to atleast once a week, but it's difficult if I have a LOT of pomade in. I found this through a google search and it looks hard to find in the U.S.A, but maybe some of our friends from across the pond can chime in if they have tried it, or...

    Pomade

    With all the rain and wind in chicago my hairspray and gel is not working out. I know, I know I said it would. Meanwhile I had forgotten how GREAT Black and White was.

    pompadour

    There's different kinds of pompadours. I don't like what you see 90% of the rockabillies with the shaved sides. Look at Elvis circa 1956 the sides were thick and long, same with Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent. But one thing in common is the long front, the bangs need to atleast come down to...

    Is the IJ haircut period-accurate?

    LOL! Ok no more opinions stated here.

    Is the IJ haircut period-accurate?

    I dunno how period correct that is. but IMO it's kind of lame. Looks like how I used to get my haircut when I went to Bo Ricks as a kid.

    question for you barbers out there...

    Buy 5 or 6 combs and keep them in rotation. Clean the dirty ones with dawn dishwashing soap and hot water. To completely remove all the gunk use a rounded point tooth pick to dig all that stuff out. Make sure you get all that gunk completly off the comb or it will end up in your hair.

    Pomade

    In Chicago the only place to get Royal Crown Hairdressing is Jewel-Osco. Walgreens doesn't carry it here. I've never seen Royal Crown Pomade in Illinois.

    MYTHBUSTER : Hairstyles in the Golden Era

    Must be the hairline. I think that's what they refer to as a "mature" hairline. Cary Grant had that too. Looks like brylcreem.

    Death

    You never get over it. I really believe the death of a loved one changes your persona forever. My dad died when I was 19 and 6 years later I'm still not over it. I would say my grief is not what it was when he first died, but I'm still sad, or angry over not being able to spend time with him...

    Pomade

    There's actually a lot more to it than just your mom's side of the family. Atleast from the research I've done because my mother's father is bald, so I've really looked into this. But I do agree with you that using Murray's won't cause you to go bald. But it's really rough putting in your...

    Pomade

    Enough hairspray on top of the gel should make it so it doesn't move in any weather conditions. But I guess a complete down fall of rain would mess it up. Bring a hat if it loosk like rain.;) I wonder what Jack Lord used. His hair never moved in Hawaii 5-0.

    Pomade

    Seems like a lot of men kept their hair on their heads longer from the 20s, 30s and 40s. I see alot of old men with brylcreemed heads walking around and that stuff's just as greasy and pore clogging as any pomade. I'd be more worried about the steriods in the meats we eat today than the hair...
