When our oldest son was about 5, I made him a Dracula costume for Halloween. Put all the cool makeup on him. We didn't know how to slick back his hair. So Otter used Vaseline. Bad choice. It doesn't just wash out. It took us a week of washing of his with everything known to man...cheap shampoos, Dawn, laundry detergent, etc. Finally, his kindergaten teacher suggested Fels Naptha. Did the trick. I often wonder why we never though of using plain old hair gel...I know Dippity Do was around at that time.
Noah was born with 2 inches of hair that stood straight up. I tried everything under the sun to may his hair lay flat. Baby lotion, Baby oil and ever Vaseline. Nothing worked. He got his first hair cut at 6 weeks old.
