Interestingly,... midway down the link page, there's an ad for 'Amami Styling Lotion'.
's [roughly] about the colour of bottle it came in - as far as I recall - since my mother used it and, when I was a teenager, I'd nick some of the stuff from her dressing table and apply it to my own hair, in an attempt to make it wavy!
Hmph ... didn't do me much good!
You don't hear A short back and sides now days or even a Crew cut , those was the haircuts of my days
