@funstuff2006 do u know any good pictures of 1920's style like this one?

[funstuff2006]

That newsboy hat is awful.

You don't HAVE to have a side part for a 20s hairstyle. If you look at period pictures you'll see guys with their hair slicked straigh back, guys with centre parts, guys with longer, touselled looks, and other cuts I don't know how to describe.

A "formal" 1920s look would be morning dress, or evening wear, accordingly. Where people today think a 3 piece is "formal," back then that was pretty standard attire.

Uggh!!!! Using GEL on this guy just doesn't make sense - no, they did not use 'thick gel' back in the 20s - they used pomade, hair tonic/hair oil, or plain ol vaseline like Valentino did. Yes, the side part is right, but get the hair grease/oil right. You could even use brylcreem to get a very nice affect. but GEL? Hardly.

"The gell is very thick back then"?????? Back in the 20s there was no 'gel' - men used pomade, hair tonic/ hair oil, or plain ol' vaseline (like Valentino did). Later in the 30s and 40s, we'd see the introduction of Wildroot Cream Oil, and then the late 40s and 50s with Brylcreem. It wasn't about 'thickness" - it was about surface tension. Today's 'gels' hold like glue/plastic due to polymers. Back then, hair held because of being wet/slick with oil/grease.
