What do you use in your hair?

To be honest, I never thought much about tonic. Might need to look into it.

 

Not much. I only have about 1/8 inch left. but the good thing is, my hair was never great when I had all of it. Not much lost.

 

I use a razor Anything over a 1/4 inch and I feel like a hippy. Just much easier to shave it all then deal with the mess of hair products.

 

If I have some sticking up and nobody's looking, I'll spit in my hand and smooth it down. What other hair care products do you need?

I still have a buzz cut like the first day in 1962 when I was a recruit at Parris Island in the Marine Corp. Nothing needed other than I run the clippers over my head every week or so

 

A clipper

 

I either use Groom & Clean or Pinaud Clubman Styling Gel.

 

I haven't used a hair dressing since I was a kid... and then it was that awesome smelling Butch Wax!

 

I used that today...the labeling has changed.

 

Does it still smell as good as it did in 1965? If I ever go with a flat top again, I'll consider using it again!

 

Can't answer the question. I had no hair in '65 but I can't imagine Lucky Tiger changed it.

UPDATE. I detected little aroma with Cru Butch.

 

I cannot recommend Bona Fide pomade enough! I've tried a few including Old Spice Spiffy, American Crew, etc but this stuff tops 'em all.

Old Spice Spiffy smells amazing. I've wanted to taste it a few times before putting it in my hair.

 

lately I've been using pinaud hair gel
smells like clubman, holds hair nice, not sticky, lasts all day

 

I heartily agree, and add that the clubman scent while strong initially, seems to dissipate to nothing within a few minutes after applying. It's good stuff for the price.

 

I believe it's at a all-time low price right now on Amazon.
$3.59 for 16oz

 

I was using Suavecito firm, but recently switched to Tres Flores too. It is less expensive and I think works about as well as Suavecito.

 

I used to use Vidal Sassoon mousse and Got2B water-based Gel, but both have horrible parabens in them, so I tossed them. I'm going to get a tub of Clubman gel from the Sally Beauty Supply on my way home today.

I also use Paul Mitchell Tea Tree S&C(Not going to buy a 2nd duo, too expensive). And Dove Moisture from Costco(Most probably will buy again haha).

 

So I have tried a lot of different pomades/waxes/etc. Various American Crew products, Retro Vinyl pomade, Suavecito, Groom & Clean, Shea Moisture pomade, others... I've mostly settled on Retro Vinyl because it's cheap ($6 compared to $15+ for the American Crew stuff), widely available and pretty close to what I'm looking for: nice and shiny, and decent hold but not stiff. But last week, on a whim, I picked up a tub of Sportin' Waves at Walgreens. $1.99. And it's great! Really as good or better than anything else I've tried, and a lot cheaper. And that $1.99 is for 3.5 oz., where the Retro Vinyl is only 2 oz. Petroleum based but washes out with no problem. It's in the African-American hair care section, but works just fine on my white guy hair.

I really think it's going to be my go-to hair product going forward.
