Reddit reviews Styling Cream

Beard Oil can be found on a ton of artisans on etsy or you can make it yourself. I also like Bryllcream.

My dad used a tube of Brylcreem. He was a youngster in the 50s and 60s. All you needed was a little dab, smooth it in your hands and run it through your hair. One tube lasted him for a few months.

Hey

The styling of the hair is pretty straightforward, the way I do it is simple. First of all, apply the styling cream (we'll get to that one later). After applying, take a comb (not too fine), and comb hair on the sides to the back. The necessity for this depends on the length your barber left your 'side hair' at. Really short hair doesn't warrant this. Then, draw an imaginary line along the top left side of your head (there must be a word for this, English isn't my first language). The part that divides the top of your head from the sides. This is usually in the left side. NO division on the right side. Make a clear 'line of skin' on that line, by carefully combing the 'side hair' to the sides, and the 'top hair' to the top.

We've done the sides, we've done the division. With the rest of your hair, I want you to imagine a point, around two inches above your ears, in your head. That should be your 'goal'. The exact measurements are personal taste of course. Comb all your hair on the right side of your division line (i.e. the hair on top of your head) towards this point. You can make it really flat (like the JGL picture), or add volume at the front (like the DiCaprio picture). I tend to go the DiCaprio route. Again, personal preference.

Now, this style could work with many sorts of products (even normal hair gel); I like to use [Brylcreem styling cream] (http://www.amazon.com/Brylcreem-Hair-Cream-Original-4-5/dp/B000052Y6H). Yes, it's old fashioned, chances are your grandpa used it, but hey, that's a good thing in my book. Seeing as we're recreating a somewhat 'classical' cut, best thing to do is use the same products.

If I style my hair this way, it takes 5-10 minutes tops. It's really quite simple.

I'm a college student as well! I understand your concern, but I don't feel like people judge you negatively if you dress well/style your hair. It's a good thing.
TBH: I don't always style my hair. Sometimes I get lazy, and I just leave my hair as is, and it still looks good. Some other days, I go for the Old Chris Evans as Cap style. Endless possibilities. I have yet to see someone who looks bad with any variation on this hairstyle, honestly. You'll look manly, you'll look suave, you'll look confident. You'll love it.

Essentials for me:

Deoderant

Shaving Soap

Shaving Brush

Razor

Aftershave

Brylcreem

I haven't used shampoo in probably 3 months. Once a week or so when showering I coat my head with conditioner and really dig into my scalp with my fingers and a comb and leave the conditioner in for the duration of the shower. Then when I get out of the shower I towel dry and comb Brylcreem through it. Once a day or every other day I will brush my hair every direction, back, forward, left, right to make sure the natural oils are being evenly distributed. My hair has never been softer, healthier, or more manageable.
