soaping up your hawk

Has anyone heard of putting up your hawk with soap?
........
I didn't think so.
And neither did I until a few minutes ago.
I wonder if it'll work.

check it. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.mynewhair.info/wp...

was common a long time ago, not as many people do it now, theres a good guide on this site somewhere on how to do it.

its not very good for your scalp, it drys it out and makes it itch like extremely badly(so im told) but it will hold and it is pretty easily to do(from the video i watched)

i did an experiment awhile ago well i was in the shower, before wetting my hair i lathered my hands and stuck my hair up, it was about half the height it is now(so maby 4 inches) and it stuck up perfecly fine, i had to wash it out to take it down, and that was a 1 minute spike job.

I've tried it. It takes fucken ages when your hair is long. If it gets wet you get bubbles everywhere. It gets flaky and dandruffy.

It is cheap as fuck though.

I thought everyone knew about soap.

Shit this was the first way I could do it. Past 6-7 inches I'd imagine its terribly difficult. Other than that it works fabulously.
After soap I'd use clear elmer's glue and it'd hold for a week. Since then I'd switched to Murray's pomade (found with african american hair stuff). It has a similar consistency but takes a long ass time to get out. For darker hair there's black soap (less obvious discoloration) found right by the Murrays. Yeah I used to fucking swear by soapy hawks. It's alot better for fanned hawks than spikes.

i always use soap when my hawk is not that long. Can be done in two minutes with just a hard chunk of soap and a little water applied to it (gotta do some testing, not too much and not too little water)

check picture:

Makes it also look nice, and is washed out very fast. And as other say, don't think about getting out when it rains or your face will get all soapy :D
Doesn't work for big hawks +20cm

Cheers
