Thanks for the replies. Bylcream or DAX it is then. And this look would be permanent if it weren't for the fact that the headmaster at my school is so Stalinist that he has forbidden all forms of hair gel or similar products because he is jealous as he is bold (no offence to bold people so long as they do not act like this). And sorry for mentioning politics here.

Brylcream will not rub off onto the lining and sweat band of my hat will it?

 

[Topdog]

if it rubs off on your hands , it will rub off on your hat.

Redkin for men, Polish up.
Do not use Murrays, it eats the color off the sweatband!

Are you still using that greasy kid stuff? Switch to Vitalis!

What I used when I wore my hair slicked back was Paul mitchel hair gel. I got the strongest hold available and you can reconstitute it with water if it goes wrong.
I made sure it was completely dry before donning my hat and it never stained

That's basically what I did recently and it worked fine. I don't like the idea of getting grease on the sweatband. I think that's one of those "period correct" things we could just as well love without.
You will get hat hair. I find that a good fluff unkinks it pretty well, without disturbing the "do". (Why do I suddenly feel as if I've accidentally stumbled into the Powder Room??? lol )

if you can find it Bed Head Hair glue, We used it on my son to make his long hair stand sraight on end for his schools crazy hair day, I then used it on a motorcycle ride about 400 miles and not a hair outta place looked just like I did when I left the house after I dug a few bugs out... it cures dry and doesnt leave any residue behind

REALLY!? I've been using it for a while and haven't noticed that happening to my hats. How did it go wrong for you? Long period of use? Certain type of leather?

Its never done this for me. I use the heavy.

 

[indycop]

Done it to one of my Art Fawcetts and an AB. Maybe it's when combined with sweat.[huh]

Heh, heh

Maybe you just have to grow your hair so long on the top that it'll fall to your eyes. Then your teacher would order you to slick it back.

I don't wish to be pedantic or schoolmasterly but I must be bold and say that surely you mean bald, like me?..

His reason may also have to do with some sense of "manliness" that forbids the use of make-up and other related items for men (in his mind). I must admit I subscribe a little to a similar school myself...

I don't mind a bit of hair gel, so it's not sticking up all over the place, but I have to agree with the makeup and powders. Definitely a no no on guys.

 

[MattJH]

Funny that make-up should be mentioned. I was in Brooks Brothers this past Sunday flipping through a book about how to be a gentleman for curiosity's sake. There was one section of "dos and don'ts," one of which was a strong discouragement to men wearing "pancake makeup" as it will cause stains on the collar. What this implies, to me, is that "non-pancake makeup" is perfectly fine.

Not for me!

 

[avedwards]

Just to clarify why my headmaster banned all hair gel, it was because it's a private school and some people were coming in with outlandish hairstyles and the head sumsequently banned all hair gel, not just outlandish styles. And yes, it is bald not bold but I was tired when I posted that comment last night.
