The pompadour hairstyle is characterized by voluminous, slicked-backed hair held in place by hairspray or hair gel. Male rock ‘n roll icons and stars in the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s were often seen sporting this hairstyle. Fast forward to today and the classic pompadour now typically features short sides and worn with the top of the hair swept upwards, slicked-back with either gel or wax.

A go-to hairstyle seen on fashion runways all over the world, the pompadour has since evolved into various forms, making it a beloved hairstyle among men (and women too!)

If you want to create a pompadour, here are various ways to create this ‘do.
