Creating a "Greased Lightning"

So.....you want to be "cool" huh? Put on the ol' blue jeans, don the white t-shirt, and slip into that "greaser" Thunderbird jacket! Don't forget to grab the gel and slick back the locks to get that "just right" hair do. Add some little special effects like finger snapping and gum chewing and you're in like Flynn! Of course, it would also help if you had a classic car with fins! Really want to know how to get that 50-greaser look? To get the most sheen and a lot of hold, always use the brilliantine stick. Part the hair on one side and slick down well. Comb back the front and right side until smooth and shiny. To achieve waves, pinch layers of hair between two fingers.
