A little dab will do ya'...We used petro jelly for a DA..
"Greasers" used this stuff by the tube, along with Vitalis. My Dad used Vitalis everyday while he was in the Army. After he retired with 30+ years, he still used it and so did I when I was in high school, until a girl ran her fingers through my hair and told me my hair felt like I had Crisco in it. Then I switched to VO5. Much better.

I used it in high school. I haven't used anything on my hair except shampoo in many years.

I think when I was a teenager maybe. I had a great head of hair and not sure I used it back then. I think I may have used Wave-Set to help keep the DA in place. There were four of us that had the Fonzie look and this was long before Happy Days was aired.

Yuk I hated that stuff. My father used to smear it all over his hair to keep it flat.. He wore a peaked cap as part of his uniform, and the inside of that cap used to be caked in grease..we kids sometimes used to scrape it off with a knife...ewwwwww.....
Furniture backs had to be covered with an antimacassar to protect them the old days.

Hubby was raised one town north of me-South San Francisco. The guys were all greasers so yes,he used Brylcream. Thankfully when he moved to our town when he was a senior in high school,he adopted the "surfer look" and stopped using it. There probably wouldn`t have been a second date otherwise...maybe not even a first
