When I was a teenager, it was common to use something to keep your hair
in place when combed. Wildroot Cream Oil, Brylcreem, Vitalis were
probably the most popular. I cannot imagine putting that stuff on my
hair now.

Not only do I save time with hair, but also socks. I have two kinds of
socks, all the same brand. White with sneakers, black with shoes. No
matching of colors or patterns, just grab two socks.

Ha! I remember ads for Brylcream. Yeah. Greasy hair. Just what
everyone wants. Don't let us forget Alberto V05 for women!

My SO bemoans the fact he went bald at a young age. I don't understand
it. His being bald certainly doesn't bother me. He can get in and out
of the shower in 5 minutes. It takes me 15 to wash and condition my
hair. And then have to comb it out. Count your blessings!

Socks are easy. I don't wear them. LOL Try pantyhose sometime... (teasing)

If I still had to wear the wool pants like when I was a kid, I'd wear
the panty hose under them. They were incredibly itchy and I'd sometimes
wear my PJ's under them.

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.
