A red cardboard box with a stylized image of Josephine Baker on the front and a stylized gentleman with dark hair on the back. The cream block text on the front reads, “Bakerfix / Brilliante / celebre fixateur de Josephine Baker / nouvelle formule concentree.” And the back of the box has similar text that reads, “Bakerfix / Brillantine / fixe les cheveux sans les graisser / Paris Bruxelles.” Inside the box is an aluminum tube with a plastic lid and similar graphics to the box.

| Coverage | @erinparsonsmakeup Everytime i do finger waves someone says #josephinebaker made this style popular. What she did was mich more unique - a sleek nearly painted on Eton Crop her hairstyle was so popular that she had her own line of hair products, BakerFix Oil and Brilliantine - which i own. Dont worry i didn’t use it just wanted to feel the texture so i could find something similar. #hairstyle #vintagestyle |
