The sleek pompadour is a timeless look—on-trend and classic all at once. Jim Shaw, owner of Toni&Guy Billericay, and premier stylist Daisy Carter share how they created the cut and style.
- When creating this look it was all about creating sleek, clean lines and allowing the hair to compliment the model's face shape. Scissors were used to cut the hair at the sides and keep this relatively short in comparison to the longer length on top. It was important to have a gradual blend with great shape as we worked towards the top of the hair, but for the top to have a lot more volume and height for a statement look.
- Label M Volume Mousse was applied throughout the hair to prep and create height before a hairdryer and brush were used to help direct the longer section of the hair and create a slicked-back shape.
- Label M Matt Paste was used and distributed throughout the hair to smooth the sides and add further volume and shape to the top of the hair, as well as hold. It was key that the hair looked done but not stiff, and this product allowed us to manipulate the hair but also change the direction if need be.
- To finish, we used American Crew Alternator Finishing Spray to give the hair further flexible style but with control and height and a subtle shine for a natural look.
