Brylcreem Protein Enriche Hair Styling Cream, 250 ml

I'm old enough to recall my dad using Brylcreem when I was a kid in post-war Essex, and he was home from the war; that memory, along with probably 95% of the rest, got filed away under "deja vu" in my mind. When I was at school, mum used to do my and my sister's hair in ringlets... I'd always had dark curls - I recall ironing my hair back in the late 50s when I was a mod, and later when I had the long dark waves (Rita Hayworth?!) cut off, they sent the hair to China for making wigs. In the 70s I was a hippy and it was a wild tumble of brunette curls. But enough of the history of my hair (boring, yes?) - it all began to change as I hit 70 and now although it's still curly and I'm long past colouring it, it has a sprinkling of grey and the texture has become less soft and springy - it was thicker and tougher somehow and only really looked good for the few hours after I'd washed it.I found myself thinking that what I needed was what dad used back then - something to make it shine and stay put but without being sticky... I looked in the chemists and the supermarkets, but they didnt seem to sell Brylcreem... and then I found this on Amazon! Wonder of wonders, it is the PERFECT product, it does exactly what I want. My hair is shiny, healthy-looking, curly but not wayward; it's extremely easy to use, it even gives my hair a deeper brunette appearance; it's not sticky or stiff, in short it is wonderful. Shampoo, brush hair whilst damp, apply small amount in fingertips, brush through and style. Job done! Cheap, too - a huge amount for less than a fiver and because you only need a tiny amount, it'll last ages. Thank you, Amazon! p.s. you'll have gathered I'm a woman - this isn't just for men!

Really good stuff I have short spikey hair and it looks great. I think the 250 ml tub will last 12 months.

Perfect, it is my go to styling product.

first class

It’s been around forever - I’ve only just starting using it and I wish I’d tried sooner. As a non over sticky ‘gel’ that lasts all day, it’s great

It works fine as a haircream but has a bit of a medicine like smell

Much preferred texture then gels and wax, if you apply the right amount it gives your hair a healthy shine and natural hold but without feeling sticky.
