Sugar and water anyone

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Mrs T and I were having a discussion, as you do, about those gravity defying mohicans so popular during the late 70s. She reckons they used sugar and water to keep it up (ooerr missus!). Can anyone confirm this?

I confirm. And also i help some friends doing it with soap. But sugar and water is the best to do it. When me was lil mama use to make me curls and to fix it use sugar and water. And it really works.
So, as usually women have right in what they say. Believe in women all the time, specially in your wife.

I concur with QB on the "Hard Rock" hairspray - I used to use it myself to achieve the "Simon Gallup" (Cure Bass Player look)!

Hard Rock also used to smell fantastic - I remember a few nights when I would follow my friend Sarah around various clubs because of it. She having used it to ahcieve a "Siouxie" look! :eek:

Ahhhh...the smell of Hard Rock in the evenings...takes me back!

However I should like to point out that Bristows used to cost half the price, worked just as well & was marginally less flammable, which was a point in its favour for those of us who went in for the silly tendrilly over the face type 'do' & also smoked...

...leading to the short-lived & embarrassing craze for poncey cig holders (holds source of ignition further from dodgy barnet, ideally with cocktail sobranie or Dorchester Menthol) down the Barrel Organ in Birmingham circa '86...

A bit of backcombing and half a can of Insette superstrength was as hairraising as I ever managed. That backcombing didn't half numb you skull! Or was I doing it wrong?

@Carrie. Sobranie Cocktails. Some things will NEVER go out of fashion!
