Brylcreem Original Gel

Picture the scene: It’s a Monday morning, the heat of the impending Summer has prevented you from getting a decent nights sleep for the best part of a week. A distant noise wakes you, and you realise that it’s the radio alarm, which you normally wake up before it goes off. You look over at the clock. 8.30am is still early, and it would be bad enough getting up this time on a weekend, but realisation hits you fast as you realise that you should have been up out of bed a good hour and a half ago. Ok, let’s pause there. Something has to give here, right? Do you preen and clean and show up late for work (on a Monday too, don’t forget. What a terrible ...  Read the complete review

In my teenage years, I decided for an image change as part of growing up. One of the most obvious changes was my hair, the way I began to gel and style it. You know the stuff, teenagers, long, greasy hair and so on. Brylcream was one of the brands I first tried, mostly because of the recognizable name, but over time it has become an essential part of my bathroom and just is a normal part of my morning routine. I first tried Brylcream, and then looked for other alternatives. I tried my local village shop, cheap but messy, and shockwaves, another big brand more expensive but I have gone back to Brylcream time and time again. My hair is a total mess in the ...  Read the complete review

This product from the well known brand Brylcreen is described on the packaging as 'Next Generation'. It claims that next generation gels are better because they are- long lasting faster drying easy to apply and wash out non flaky Right, I will tackle each of these claims one at a time. Is it long lasting? Yes it is, having applied the product at around 8 in the morning it was still effective at 10.30 in the evening. Even if exposed to rain, the gel keeps its structure. So far so good. Is it faster drying? Again yes it seems to dry faster than other similar brands of hair gel, and is dry to ...  Read the complete review

I have used Brylcream for a couple of years now. I’ve been satisfyed with the effectiveness of the product for that long aswell. The original Brylcreem is not a gel, it is a cream, a bit like a moisturiser which you massage into your hair which will keep your hair full of all the goodness it needs, I have found anyway. Since I have been using it, all the hairdressers have said that my hair is really healthy, shiny and thick, which can only be a good thing! It will also leave you with that ‘wet look’. It makes my hair a darker colour when used instead of the lighter, just washed colour that I seem to get! The cream itself leaves your hair ...  Read the complete review

I've been using Brylcreem since I was a wee young thing (we're talking a few years ago here, I was best pals with Noah!) and I wouldn't use anything else. The product is a cream which you apply lightly to damp hair either for a simple condition treatment and to add glossiness, or apply more for the 'wet look' which seems to be so fashionable with my son. Although why he wants to walk around looking like he's dipped his head in a bucket of lard is beyond me! My wife is a huge fan too, she loves the fact that she spends hours washing greasy stains from chair covers after I've nodded off with head lolling but she does say she ...  Read the complete review
