Sometimes any woman wants to add a bit of retrostyle to her look. No wonder vintage hairstyles are always out of time. These include exquisite and extraordinary "pompadour". In the modern sense, a haircut with a similar name refers to a male, but at the same time looks great on beautiful ladies.
Historical information
"Birth" of this hairstyle dated 18th century. This happened in the heyday of such a style as Rococo. It was then that tall and lush styling began to come into fashion. The name of the hairstyle is given in honor of the Marquise de Pompadour - the beautiful sweetheart of Louis XV of France. It was she who made a high lush styling, which could reach a height of up to half a meter.
All secular ladies in those days imitated her, and a similar hairstyle was considered an indicator of luxurious living and high status. Over time, she lost her wildly popular.
In the early 50-ies of the twentieth century, the hair "pompadour" again returned to the fashion, but for men. Her "revived" the inimitable king of rock and roll Elvis Presley. Today, "pompadour" has no gender.
It looks great on men and women of different ages.
Features
In contrast to the ladies of another era, modern women of fashion creatively approach the creation of hairstyles a la “pompadour”. The advantages of styling include the following nuances:
- it is created very easily and does not require a large number of accessories (hairpins, invisible);
- it looks beautiful even on the most unruly hair and has no requirements for “absolute smoothness”;
- will add a piquant "zest" to any image;
- perfectly keeps the shape throughout the day.
If we talk specifically about the haircut "pompadour", then her creation technique is as follows: hair from the temporal parts and the back of the head is cut short (or shaved), and long strands are left at the crown. They, as a rule, are combed back and fixed with the help of "styling" means. Women's haircut "pompadour" is created by analogy with the male, but the side strands in most cases remain elongated. Vintage haircut looks great on hair of different shades.
Note that the "pompadour" requires constant adjustment (1 time per month). In the opposite case, regrown hair will look ridiculous and the hair will lose its charm.
Who is suitable?
As for men, the haircut "pompadour" significantly rejuvenates their appearance. She can choose young guys and mature men. For beauties with a beard, it is advisable to style the hair in such a way that the main volume is concentrated on the sides and at the temples.
For young men, styling with combed hair and slightly raised upward is relevant. High "tuft" visually increases growth. Particularly good haircut for men with round and oval face shape.
For guys with narrow proportions, it is advisable to comb the “forelock” to the side.
The female version of the haircut is suitable miniature ladies with expressive features. High pile “bare” forehead and focuses on the eyes and eyebrows. Ladies with a long face from the hair "pompadour" should be abandoned.
In addition, this haircut is not suitable for young ladies with sharp features and lop-eared ears.
Design Tips
Note that vintage haircut implies a thick head of hair, otherwise the "forelock" will not have the proper volume. For everyday installation will need:
- round comb;
- styling products (foam, varnish);

We wash our hair and rub a small amount of mousse in it.We divide the front strands into a parting and with a hair dryer we dry them (from the frontal part to the back of the head). Cover the hair with lacquer.
Another interesting option is a “wet” styling. We act by analogy with the first instruction, only at the final stage we apply a gel or wax on the “forelock”. Looks like this styling is very stylish.
Modern dandies adore the pompadour haircut:
- the male version of the pompadour haircut makes brutal beauties even more attractive;
- on women, "pompadour" looks very playful and extraordinary.
