the hair...

the hair style in godfather..the smooth combed back hair, true italian look, but how do they keep it that way, i comb my hair that way and i am wondering what they would use in their hair to keep it nice and neatly combed back, like michael and vince had it. grazie

Grease...

In the spirit of the times: Brylcreem (A Little Dab'll Do Ya).

Try Dax Wax. Your hair would be solid for days.. It's probably one of the strongest hair wax's around and mostly used for mohawks, spikes etc. Its so tough you got to use vasaline and washing powder to wash it off your hands once you've done your hair.

I'd say a mixture of olive oil and lemon ("quite smelly, but effective" [My ex's grandfather])...

Or, if you don't want the smell, you can use only lemon....

I've got another one. A bar dry soap works a charm. Don't wet your hair, wet your hands a little but not too much and rub your hands with the dry soap. Then put it through your hair. Make sure your hands don't get too wet. It needs to be as dry as possible. Your hair smells great but is slightly sticky. Again this is mostly used for spikes and mohawks etc.

I heard lemons brighten your hair too. A weaker version of bleaching it I think. Do you know if thats true?

I can't say I know anything about it mate....but I'll check with some people whom I think would know...I'll get back to you on this...

I know someone who put lemon juice on his hair and when he stayed out in the sun his hair was much more blonde.

Wow, I wonder if that would work with some Kiwi juice (hmmmm....where's my gf's leave-in-conditioner???)

thanks for the suggestions, post if ya got anymore.

grazie,

Corleone,
You should try some "Dapper Dan".

i know what dapper dan is, but i dont know where to get it lol.

i've heard that Knox gelatin works well too
(for mohawks and such).

I put a bottle of gel in my hair everyday and add a little olive oil, and it stays that way.

olive oil? are you telling the truth? what does it do?

When i mix the olive oil with the gel, it helps my hair stay down and back.... It just works..try it.

Even though Al Pacino in GF3 had short hair, and not combed back. I heard that he wanted to use long hair for Part III!!!. That I imagine as Jon Travolta in Pulp Fiction.

Cheers

all right here is what i do you wet you hair then comb it back, get some conditioner put it on, then run your closed palms on top of it then use gel(L.A Looks, same as my girlfriend )then after your done use some hair spray if it doesn't work straigthen your hair then do it.

yeah that is what i do. also there is stuff called pomade, it is like dapper dan stuff in o brother where art thou, it is good stuff, i use it from the bran American Crew. try it out. anyone else?

How about a ...wig ???
(just like Little Steven aka Silvio Dante in the Sopranos)

Oh well, just my two cents, fuggedaboutit !
I've just registered today, I gotta play with my new toy !

Shit i just got offline and that dried soap works wonders only problem is your hair will be combed back but it won't go as down as gel can put it, and your hair smells really good but i think i used a bit too much. Hence the Strong smell of dried soap and i also have some sudsy stuff on my hair. This could possibly work as dread wax couldn't it Turi? Thanks for the tip .

what if i mixed that with gel turi?

Make sure you don't use too much soap, or else you're going to end up with a shocking case of dandruff, then slicking your hair back won't be an option because all that will be seen are white specks.

yes i made sure of that Liz but i did it earlier this earlier.

I'd stick to gel and wax if I were you! What if you get all that dry soap in your hair and get caught out in the rain..

FH

Good thinking family honor but it's summer around here and i've been in the rain with gel and it's not that pleasant either though imagine it's a lot better then soap, and less embarassing.

Lets's go splitting hairs !

What do you think of Pacino's new haircut ?
Why did they do that to me ???!!!
...and when you think about all the fuss he made not to have a "Nazi haircut" as FFC put it in GF3 !!!

Who wants to be combed like that ?

Almammater

No hair problem for me, i'm balled.

Brylcream should do the job, maybe shaving foam is a good alternative. If you use this or soap or other srange suggestions i've seen over here, then i'll give you the advise to prayer for nice weather and no rain

well about the rain you won't have to worry about it if you have one of those cool Micheal Corleone hats .By the way i got myself some wicked shades that can't be told apart from the ones Micheal had in the GFIII they're so awesome i got them for 9.99 but they're really cool well let's say they were worth more 12yrs ago so i don't i think it was a fair price for them which doesn't really make them cheap. But i'm happy.

My mother used to use baby oil on my brother's hair when he was little!

Wash your hair then comb back with a small bit of pomade. Put on a knit ski cap(not too tight)for 1/2 to 1 hour. Remove cap and comb back to fluff to back up. Depending on texture of hair, vary amont of pomade or length of time with cap on. Barber must be aware of the look you want.
BTW is this how I display an image?

OK GO OUT BUY DEP1O GET A COMB WITH THINK BRICELS IN IT , THEN WET UR HAIR PUT GEL IN IT , SLICK IT BACK GET HAIR SPRAY ADD IT ON GET THE BLOWDRYER BLODRY 4 5 MIN WHEN U FINISH HAIR SPARY IT AGAIN

The best way is to wear a hair net. I suggest only wearing it around your house unless you want people to think you are a vato loco.

I would grow my hair and try combing it like the way Vince had his, but it seems like you need a nice widows peak to make it classy.. (i don't have a widows peak).. but long hair... yes!

I've got brownish blonde hair so it'll be kinda time consuming but I'm thinking of dying my hai. If I do though I would choose vincents way of doing his hair.
