Hey everyone! Some of you may remember my version one video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kq2dmfcBBdY.html This new video is more complete, general and informative while the older one speaks more for a pomade user's point of view. My beginner's guide to hair tonics: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x9nmRG04cSk.html
I personal use Vitamin E oil and Olive oil instead of vaseline tonic for 3 reasons 1. It's better and healthier for my hair 2. Elvis used Vitamin E oil 3. I can get the same results
Elvis may have used Vit E oil in the 1970s. However the 1956 photographs by freelancer photographer Wertheimer clearly show him in a NY hotel using Vaseline Hair Tonic. Look at the bottle on the bathroom shelf. (photo freely available online)
@@pomadesandpompadours6309 Quite correct. Both are great products, however whatever the persons hair type is what is used to their specific satisfaction.
I got myself a 200ml bottle today for 5,99€ at a local Arabian shop. Pretty cheap I guess. There also was the uk version of brylcreem but also an Arabian (?) Version wich I have Never seen before. The tin looked similar to the up version but the bottom was white and not silver and on the back there was a big Arabian text. Have you ever came across or tried this one? I think it would be worth a review
@@pomadesandpompadours6309 that is possible. I wonder how the performance and smell is in comparison to the others. It looked like that one: machla.bh/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=9151
Hi I'd like to know is this good for asians from India with wavy hair? Do you have to mix it with water? And, does hair have to be dry or wet before using?
Idk, in order for these oil tonics or Bryl Creme( N. America Formula) to work you have to use like none and your hair better be really thick and kind of dry because that's the only thing that will give way to any hold. The time it takes to just swirl this liquid forever is cut in thirds if you instead use DAX, Murray's , Purple Haze, Byrd. No need to take this kind of time. Now, real oil pomades can dry your hair out so perhaps these oils are better to use in very small amounts in addition to a prestyler. I just don't see the point of the aggravation waiting for mineral oil to thicken up and style. It doesn't. And it won't. Honestly better to use AXE Clean Cut Pomade on blow dried hair( cooler setting) than fool around in front of a mirror hoping to have your hair take shape. Tonics are good when not oil based because they help clean out old product and help set a cleaner palate. But any tonics with oils are more a novelty to pay homage to the barbering of yesterday. Too much to do when none of this is needed.
If you have fine and thin hair like me, stay away from this stuff since it is just mineral oil with a fragrance. It felt awful in my hair and I had to wash it out immediately and it smells not very good. Any hair product with mineral just makes my hair look ratty.
