Pompadours

Sorry if there is a thread already about this classic hair style. I looked way back in the archives and didn't see one, so...

What's everyone think about this do?

Anyone here wear their hair in this way?

If so, let's see your pomps!

product- Hawleywood's LayRite pomade & a quality hard comb....

Well said, Weight.

Of course we all wish we could reach the great heights of Johnny Suede.

Pomps and hats don't go together. I comb mine straight back in the classic Wally Cleaver style.

Here's my* try, using Dr. Rubin's.

Looking good, Kabel.

Whoever cut your hair did a good job blending the top and bottom lengths together.

My beautician friend is going to be cutting my hair pretty soon and I'll be sure and use your photo as a reference for her as well as this one:

I hate to keep harping on Brad Pitt, but he did seem to be rocking the pomp a lot in the early nineties. This one from Cool World is a lot more realistic, though, and me and him have a similar hair color.

Very true. I notice that after I took up hats, my pomp seems to have shrunk to about a quarter of its former glory lol

Pomps and hats don't go together.

It does make sense that hat wearing would shrink a pomp right down. I think it just depends of if you wear a hat that day.
And thank you Dapper, I think it was actually my mom who blended my sides and back that time, but I'm not sure anymore. I wish someone would open up a Barbershop in the Arnhem area. The salons scare me. They ask me what I use in my hair, I tell them it's pomade and they give me this look like they do not know what I'm talking about. Also tapered cuts are foreign to them…
