Regarding combs and hair gel: I never liked carrying a comb. The only time I would was on Photo Day when I was in elementary and high school. A friend of mine who used a pick, frequently dropped it on the ground, which was gross to me. I never used Vitalis or gel. My neighbor in the 70s and 80s, who himself was in his 70s or 80s (a WW II vet Seabee) told me that when there was nothing to make adult beverages with on ship, Vitalis was what they drank. So, that was the end of that. However, when I did have bad hair days and I had more hair I would wet my hair with tap tap tap water only. I was follicularly challenged prior to chemo, but now my hair has grown back and looks better than before for some strange reason.
