"Hello my name is Natalie with Floyd's Barber Shop and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you a view of the punk rock hairstyles. The pompadour which is more of a greaser look is high on top and short on the sides. You would achieve this by using a slick wax, not Marie's with a good amount of hold and shine. The pompadour only takes, well it might take a few more minutes you want to make sure that the length in the front is longer than the rest of it. So it goes up and comes down. With your grease you want to rub it in your hands and push everything back and you want to work it with a comb push it forward and make it go back. Now those 2 hairstyles last from day to day. Or if you don't wash your hair everyday it will last longer. "

I think the trick is to use Murray's Supreme for hold and then a little Murray's Super Light for shine. It is also one of the originals, was used by many greasers in the 50's, it was made in 1925. SO for those die-hards it is the only one to use...or maybe Royal Crown, Blue Magic, or Sweet Georgia Brown!! It's all about personal preference anyway!
But this isn't much of a How to...

I believe she meant Murray's, not Marie's.
