Patrick Butler, Technical Director — Training/Operations at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, explains get the look:

“A standard Pompadour contains a tall, easy form that depends on product to maintain it in place. The up to date form we’re specializing in leans into pure curl and takes a unfastened method that makes use of product to assist fairly than dominate.

The haircut that lays the muse makes use of a tapered neckline to create a definite form that controls the curl and builds the peak that’s wanted on high. The edges and high construct the form as much as pay tribute to a standard pompadour.

This form was reduce totally with scissors. The underside half of the top, beneath the temples and beneath the crown, was reduce with vertical sections. Reducing vertically will can help you collapse the form which is able to lower weight and keep away from a rounded look. Beneath the occipital bone we angled our sections in the direction of the neckline to take away bulk and create a collapsed form in again. 

As we moved to the highest of the top, we used horizontal sections to maintain the size on the highest level of the top. We over-directed the entrance hairline again to make sure we may maintain all of that tremendous size for styling. We let the pure curl do its factor which meant that we didn’t want to return in and texturize. 

As a substitute, we used a Texture Powder on dry hair to get the carry we wanted to boost the pompadour form. We then went again by and took a Styling Cream by numerous sections so as to add definition and to present extra maintain.

This form works nicely on somebody who has pure wave, however may simply work on anybody with straighter hair as nicely. Combine issues up and provides a basic form a “twist!”
