How to Do the Slicked-Back Pompadour Fade Hairstyle
Wax on
Apply just the right amount of waxing gel on your hair: enough to cover all of your strands, but not too much that it makes your hair look super greasy. Then, comb your hair back with your fingers, making sure the product is evenly applied on your strands.
Comb it
Pick up a fine-tooth comb and use it to smoothen the strands out. Make sure you comb your locks from the top right to the ends.
Lock it in place
When you’re happy with how your pompadour hairstyle looks and everything is in place, spray your hair with a bit of hairspray to secure the hairstyle.
Double-check
Do one last mirror check to see if there’s anything out of place. The pomp is supposed to be neat and polished, so there can’t be rogue strand anywhere on your head.
And that’s it! You’re ready to show off that modern Elvis Presley hair!
