I used to use a combination of hair-mousse and wet-look gel.

Baby oil is what I read in Smash Hits back in the day; it must be true!

i'd go for years of accumulated cheap hair dye, a proliferation of chemicals in the blood stream, and a bit of wet look gel...

Soap's quite effective.
Until it rains.

Heh heh.
That reminds me of this time my buddy stood up his hair with egg whites.
It worked great... until he went outside in the Phoenix sun.
After a short while, he had gooey, white chunks dripping off his head.

I'm reminded of a tale I heard:
Some guy I used to know wanted to do the Nephilim "covered in dust" look. As we all know, the Neph boys used to use flour for that. So our hero tries to find some flour in his mum's kitchen. The closest he can find is a packet of cake-mix. "Well, close enough" he thinks.
...until it started raining on his way to the club, and he walks in covered in a thin patina of dough.

If you don't like the Sisters anymore, have you, um, considered going away and visiting sites of bands that you, y'know, do still like?
As to the "Dominion" look - just lots of wet-look gel should do it...

Normally I would, but I just don't give a f**k anymore. The south russian ovcharka in me is still wagging its tail after the recent gigs, and just can't be bothered with anything that doesn't deserve its attention.
