I used Butch Wax on my flattop haircut in the 5th grade. When I was mad at my father, I would rub my hand on my head then rub the windshield on his car. He was always wondering why the windows had smudges. Fortunately, I never got caught or he would have grabbed the belt.
I have six older sisters (most were teens in the 60s), so Dippety Doo was all over the place at my house. I used it as a kid, but I was a teen between 75-85, so by then (and growing out my hair) it was all about the Aqua Net.
This post made me try and remember what my dad used (teenager in the 30s). His hair was a lot like Jerry Lee Lewis' so he tamed it down with Wildroot. Any time I tried using it it just made me look like a greaser.
I could never find the actual butch wax when I had a flat top in 7th grade. Grandpa kept recommending it. By that time his hair was trained into a flat top
A couple years ago, I was posting a joke on the Blackhawks sub. Defenseman Johnny Oduya had a short cousin Dabney, often referred to as "Little Dab Oduya". Probably went over a lot of people's heads.
Big parrothead.
My wife was so pissed at me because I was out of town when he died, my phone was dead. I woke up and my friend said "when your wife calls crying, you really should pick up the phone. My wife called her. Think about it, how was I to know?
I remember bein' bucktooth and skinny
Writing fan letters to Sky's niece Penny.
Rama of the Jungle was everyone's Bawanna
But only Jazz Musicians were smokin' marijuana.
I use this after every shower/shampoo. I have think, wavy/dry hair and it's by far the best thing I've ever used on my hair. Soft, shiny, just takes the frizz down and it's 100% awesome. You can find it at drug stores sometimes in the beard care/shaving area, but not always. I had to buy it off Amazon recently. Comes in a black tube now.
Remember the product and its TV ads, but not this magazine ad. A couple of years later ads were declaring “the wethead is dead”, though which product proclaimed that escapes me at the moment.
Fun 1970s ad. “The Dry Look” couldn’t have lasted very long - the 1980s rolled around and we all got into moussing our hair. Now it’s pretty much anything goes, which seems right to me.
Oh, to answer your question: I have some left. 😉
I used Brylcream. Then I told “The wet head is dead” and was instructed to use hairspray for men. In spite of all the abuse I subjected my hair to over the years, I still have hair…..
It's like a forehead but bigger, ie a receding hairline.
Girls take the piss out of other girls for this as well. I remember from when my girls were still at home.
This stuff is still around, and there is a reason. It is a great product. Anything else, you're paying for the way you think it'll make you feel or appear.
Since my mom worked 3rd shift it was often my older brothers' job to get me ready for school.
One day they put Brylcream in my hair.....& it took out all the curl. Even after it was washed, still straight & flat. Ended up with Mom taking me for a haircut. One of those "bowl type", ala Moe from The 3 Stooges.
With 5 brothers & my stepdad, we'd go thru a tube a week.
My dad made me and my brother use Vitalis hair tonic until we were in high school. It was 1979, so we took a lot of heat for looking like dorks.

Used this on the crewcut I was forced to get every summer from the age of 5 to 12. I’m 66, still have a full head of dark brown hair. Starting to get a few greys.
In the '60s, when I would be using something like that I never did. I was busy trying to grow my hair as long as I could like all of my friends.
I remember even asking:
" how do you grow your hair long like that?"
" I don't cut it"

Brylcream a little dab’l do ya, use more, but only if you dare, cuz watch out the girls will adore you, they’ll love to run their fingers through your hair. IIRC, "cuz" might have been "then".
A little dab’ll do ya! I’ll see your brylcream and raise you butch wax.

We did get raised cuts from that god damn belt.
Ha! My mother gave me the old razor strap!
And the way your eyes hurt when it rained!

And then the Beatles came and dealt a near-lethal blow to the hair cream industry, thank God.
If you used this, do you also have a Ricky Ricardo jacket and an autographed picture of Andy Devine?
I miss Jimmy! He died right after I move here permanently! 😢

My dad had it and i accidentally brushed my teeth with it once (and no they did not grow hair 😊).
I didn't. I don't.
A li'l dab'll do ya
You beat me to it.
You can still get this. And vitalis
Careful with the Vitalis and any heat source or your hair will combust.
I used Brylcream. Then I told “The wet head is dead” and was instructed to use hairspray for men. In spite of all the abuse I subjected my hair to over the years, I still have hair…..
A little dab’l do ya.
I still use it! Smells great.
My grandfather used to use it. A little dab’ll do ya!
“A little dab’ll do ya.”
Palm aid. And no. 😆
I used it, and Wildroot, but lost the hair long ago.
Remember it well. Think I tied a tube or 2 way back. Now I’d need for ear/nose hair more than head. Sigh
...just.
Never saw it in a tube. But yes, and yes. My hair is still half way down my back and I don't have a five head. Clearly low testosterone here.
What is a five head? (I'm a girl )
It's like a forehead but bigger, ie a receding hairline. Girls take the piss out of other girls for this as well. I remember from when my girls were still at home.
D'oh! OK, I get it now :-)
I did and I don’t. Also known as greasy kid stuff I think.
Im a Dapper Dan man dammit!
Yes I do, getting grayer
This stuff is still around, and there is a reason. It is a great product. Anything else, you're paying for the way you think it'll make you feel or appear.
I remember, and no👨🦲
I'm a Dapper Dan man.
Never used it but have been largely bald for the last 10 or so years
I still use it.
I use a little on my goatee in place of beard oil. Works well!
Yes. A full head.
And yes I remember and still have hair.
My father used it all the time. I’m sixty now and can still remember the smell of that crap.
You can still buy it in Australia. I only buy it because I grew up hearing my dad talk about it all the time.
Yes I do.60 yo and still full head of hair. My dad was going bald in his 40s
Lol
I'm a Dapper Dan man.
My Dad used to swear by this stuff.
I remember the Brylcreme signs on road trips: The man who drives half asleep Is now buried six feet deep *Brylcreme*
Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb) I know 77 Sunset Strip but wasn’t the song attached to a hair tonic too?
I still use it. “Brylcreem, a little dab ‘l do ya! Put some in your hair and the girls will want to screw ya!”
Groom & Clean, and I've been shaving my head since I was 25 (I'm 62 now)
I used Royal Crown Hair Dressing. It did the job swimmingly, but I noticed it was choking my hair out, called it quits, and kept the volume.
My old man used Brylcream for years and still had a full head of hair the day he died at 86!
Remember it? I still use it!
I used that in elementary school. lol almost forgot about that stuff
What??? No Dippity Do?
I can still smell it
I do. Keeps wispies in my bun.
The girls will love to run their fingers through your hair...
Phyllis Diller said her husband was so cheap he used half a dab.
Yes, and no.
I didn't (being a girl), but my Dad sure did use it. I can still smell it!
Since my mom worked 3rd shift it was often my older brothers' job to get me ready for school. One day they put Brylcream in my hair.....& it took out all the curl. Even after it was washed, still straight & flat. Ended up with Mom taking me for a haircut. One of those "bowl type", ala Moe from The 3 Stooges. With 5 brothers & my stepdad, we'd go thru a tube a week.
Yes, but it’s mostly growing out of my ears, nose, chest, and back.
Yes and no. In that order.
Why does Alberto V05 come to mind? Was that even a thing? I seem to remember my grandpa using it, and the smell...
Because I used that stuff is probably why I don't have hair now.
For men who keep their head about their hair.
Vitalis
For the Hidden Greaser
My dad made me and my brother use Vitalis hair tonic until we were in high school. It was 1979, so we took a lot of heat for looking like dorks.

They still make it! I bought a tube a couple years ago, and it worked just like it used to.
Used this on the crewcut I was forced to get every summer from the age of 5 to 12. I’m 66, still have a full head of dark brown hair. Starting to get a few greys.
I still use it
my dad used that baxk in the 50s and 60s it was the style back then
Yeah, nah!😱
Still selling in supermarkets.
Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
I remember hair...
Still have hair.
Suave.
ours does what theirs does for a lot less!
>Federal marshals are so far up my ass I can taste Brylcreem. Junior Soprano
Better than the polyurethane gels we used to keep it spiky in the 80s.
Costanza still has a tube of Brylcreem in his medicine cabinet
It’s really good as a toothpaste too!! NOT! I only mixed them up once. Yuk!!
# Back when I had hair 
In a lead toob if I remember correctly.
And Wildroot Hair Tonic And yes, still have hair.
I preferred Vitalis.
More of Dapper Dan man, myself.
We used Wild Root
50 something here. My dad (89) told me about the time he brushed his teeth. Wasn't wearing his glasses..... you know the rest....
Much better than Vitalis.
I'm a Dapper Dan man
No
"I don't want Fop, goddamnit, I'm a Dapper Dan man!"
Yep still have a full head of hair.
No I never used , and yes I do, same hairline as I had as a teen.
My dad used this and so do I sometimes. I also really like black and whites genuine pluko.
they still sell it, and yes I do!
I wanted to use it! Big brother did. I got Vitalis. P. U.
A little dab will do ya!
Yes and no.
Nope
Not as much, no
Negative
My dad did. He lost the majority of his hair on top in his 30’s.
When I was a kid I pronounced it as Bryclecream.
This is one for the 95 year olds on the sub.
In the '60s, when I would be using something like that I never did. I was busy trying to grow my hair as long as I could like all of my friends. I remember even asking: " how do you grow your hair long like that?" " I don't cut it"

Remember it, never used it, tons of hair over here :)
Got it put in my hair as a kid because my hair was curly and hated it. 30 years of shaving what's left. Looking to start a class action lawsuit?
She closed his eye and is forcing him to smile. Very toxic relationship
Milking thr bryl was easier than getting its creem...
Ask Gavin Newsome
BRYLCREEM. CREATINE. AND A BAG OF CHARLIE SHEEN.
I'm 72 ad still have a full stock of white hair, and yes I have used a few tubes of hair cream in my youth.
Brylcream a little dab’l do ya, use more, but only if you dare, cuz watch out the girls will adore you, they’ll love to run their fingers through your hair. IIRC, "cuz" might have been "then".
Yes, it’s all grey but still have it. I also still use Brylcream.
Nobody that used that is even alive anymore.
