Answer
Hi Michael,

This is what Elvis Presley used on his hair in the 1950's.

He used Rose oil hair tonic for the top, Butch Wax for the front and Vaseline for the sides and he used L'Oreal Excellence blue black or Lady Clairol blue black for hair dye.

Thank you for the question.

Sincerely,
Cory Cooper
