Alright, let’s talk about this Cary Grant fella and his hair. You know, the pictures they show of him, always so slicked back and neat. Real tidy-like.
Cary Grant, huh? Sounds like a fancy name. I reckon he wasn’t from around here. They say he was an actor, in them pictures that move. Never saw one myself, too busy workin’ the land. But my niece, she goes to the town sometimes, and she tells me about these things.
So, this Cary fella’s hair. It’s always parted on the side, see? Not like these youngsters today, with their hair all messy and stickin’ up every which way. His hair, it was smooth, like he just combed it with a good, strong comb. Probably used some of that fancy hair cream too, the kind they sell in them glass bottles. We just used lard back in the day, made our hair shine, but it smelled a bit like pigs, if you know what I mean.
- Parted on the side, that’s the first thing.
- Then it’s all slicked back, nice and tight.
- Not too long, not too short, just right.
- Shiny, too. Like a new penny.
They say he was a real stylish fella, this Cary Grant. Always dressed sharp, in them suits. And the hair, well, it just went with the whole look. Made him look like a gentleman, like he knew what he was about. Not like these fellas nowadays, slouchin’ around in their ripped jeans and dirty shirts.
I heard tell he wasn’t even called Cary Grant at first. Some other name, Archie somethin’ or other. But he changed it, I guess. Probably wanted somethin’ that sounded fancier, more like a movie star name. Just like them city folk, always changin’ things, not stickin’ to what’s real.
Now, how’d he get that hair look, you ask? Well, I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I reckon it took some work. First, you gotta have good hair, I guess. Thick and healthy. Then you gotta get it cut right, shaped just so. And then comes the combin’ and the slickin’ and the fussin’. Probably took him a good long while to get it lookin’ just so, every mornin’. Not like us, just a quick brush and out the door.
But you know, that kinda hairstyle, it ain’t for everyone. You gotta have the face for it, the clothes for it, the whole shebang. Can’t just slap some grease on your hair and call it a Cary Grant. It’s about the whole package, see? The way you carry yourself, the way you talk, the way you look at folks.
This Cary Grant, he had that somethin’ special. That confidence. That charm. And the hair, it just helped show it off. It was part of his image, part of what made him famous. Just like my old rooster, he had that special strut, made him stand out from the rest of the chickens.
So, is that Cary Grant hairstyle still somethin’ folks want? I hear tell it is. Some of these young fellas, they like that old-timey look. They want to be like them movie stars from back in the day. And there’s nothin’ wrong with that, I reckon. As long as they keep their pants pulled up and their hair combed neat. Don’t want ’em lookin’ like scarecrows, do we?
It’s funny how things come back around, ain’t it? Styles change, but then they come back again. Like my grandma’s old dresses, now they’re sellin’ them in the stores for a fortune! Maybe that Cary Grant hair will be the next big thing. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, that fella knew how to look sharp. And that’s somethin’ that never goes out of style.
And you know, even us old folks, we can appreciate a good, neat hairstyle. Reminds us of simpler times, when folks took pride in their appearance. When a man’s hair was his crown, and he wore it with dignity. Not like these wild things they got goin’ on now. Give me a good side part and some shine any day of the week.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this Cary Grant fella and his hair. Not much, I know, but it’s what I see, what I think. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens. They don’t care about no fancy hairstyles, just want their corn.
