These days I get my hair cut GI style, so in winter when I have a
fresh haircut I wear a knitted cap indoors and to sleep. When working
outdoors in warm weather I wear a wide brim hat for sun protection.

I used all those at one time or another but way back when my mom
combed my hair she used this:

I still have a full head of thick wavey hair so once it grows in after
a haircut now I use VO5 or Yardley Brilliantine.

I have a few pairs of white cotton athletic socks and some black dress
socks but since I retired I rarely wear socks... mostly I live in flip
flops indoors and LL Bean boots outdoors... it's rare I wear sneakers
and rarer I wear dress shoes.
