Men’s haircut Pompadour

Do you think Elvis was the first to wear a Pompadour haircut? Of course not! In fact, the haircut is named after the Marquise de Pompadour, the most influential favorite of the French King Louis XV. Her haircut was considered a luxury among women of the 18th century. And in the 20th century, this hairstyle became popular again, and this time mainly among men, including Elvis Presley. The haircut was worn by rock-n-rollers, ordinary city dwellers, women, and it was generally considered a rule for guys to spend about an hour styling their hair in the morning. Of course, this haircut underwent drastic changes before it was adopted by men. Today, the pompadour is a distinctive feature of stylish men of completely different professions and social status.

Features of the Pompadour haircut

Pompadour is formed by maximum volume at the top of the head and smooth sides that flow around the face. The upper strands and the temporal zone differ in length, because on the sides the hair is cut short, with a smooth transition, and in the direction from the forehead to the top, lush hair remains. With the help of special cosmetics for hair care, the hair is combed up, back or to the side, depending on the wishes and features of the face.
