The Classic pompadour is a bold impression and yet is serious, yet still vividly fun; perhaps it’s a good reason as to why the pompadour has always been a popular choice. Men have been sporting this classic look since the 70’s and the 80’s. It came into the limelight after the pop star Elvis Presley started sporting it. The original look is slicked back, high grease hairstyle with sharp sides and a lot of shine. Both sides meet back at the nape of the neck into a duck tail. The lengthy front features as small round mound at the front of the forehead.
To put things simply, a men’s classic pompadour hairstyle features long hair swept up and back at the top and flanked by slick sides or shorter sides. The hair is usually the tallest and most voluminous at the front, receding in size and scope as it flows back.
Since men’s hairstyles and face shapes vary, there are few pompadour haircuts to choose from. However, pompadours fall into two categories: classic and modern. The ‘classic’ pomp includes longer, slick back sides once touted by the likes of Elvis and Johnny Cash. But the modern pomp shortens the sides by way of an undercut, fade or taper, and commonly takes more risks at the top.
