I used to wear one myself at a time when my hairstyle was inspired by Rahul Roy from the movie Ashiqui. The hairstyle can basically be described as a small bob-cut. Since my hair are not naturally straight and silky like Rahul Roy but more wavy and on the dry side, they used to fluff up making me look like the unfortunate cartoon character on receiving an electric shock. To tame the hair down I used to liberally apply Brylcreem during the summers but during winters the pakol would come in very handy. You must know this balochi actor Ayub Khoso, used to be a real stud back then. I think I got the pakol idea from seeing him wear the cap on his thick bushy and curly mane.
I've resorted to wearing assorted headgear to achieve that dry-yet-slick look. I had that bob 'do as well: very long at the top, coming well down to the nape of the neck, yet trimmed at the neck line, so the hair on the top actually cascades down over the trimmed part. I think I had the same 'do for years.
Ayub Khosa still has quite the head of hair. He used to wear it really long too, I'm not sure if he still does. He used to do this travel show where he got to travel all around Pakistan, especially the West, and sample all sorts of grilled meats.
