Of Hair and Hair Products
Melville might be on to something...
In common life we esteem but meanly and contemptibly a fellow who anoints his hair, and palpably smells of that anointing. In truth, a mature man who uses hair-oil, unless medicinally, that man has probably got a quoggy spot in him somewhere. As a general rule, he can't amount to much in his totality.
---Herman Melville in Moby Dick, chapter 25 "Postscript."
