Features and design options hairstyles "pompadour"

Sometimes, any woman wants to add a little retrostyle to her image. No wonder vintage hairstyles are always out of time. These include refined and outstanding “pompadour”. In the modern sense, a haircut with a similar name refers to men’s, but at the same time looks great on beautiful ladies.

The "birth" of this hairstyle is dated to the 18th century. This happened in the prime of a style like Rococo. It was then that high and magnificent styling began to enter into fashion. The name of the hairstyle is given in honor of the Marquise de Pompadour - the beautiful lover of the King of France Louis XV. It was she who did the high magnificent styling, which in height could reach up to half a meter.

All secular ladies in those days imitated her, and a similar hairstyle was considered an indicator of luxury living and high status. Over time, she lost her frenzied popularity.

In the early 50s of the twentieth century, the hair of the "pompadour" again returned to fashion, but for men. She was “revived” by the inimitable rock and roll king Elvis Presley. Today, "pompadour" has no gender.

Unlike the ladies of another era, modern fashionistas are creative in creating 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, invisibility);
• looks beautiful even on the most naughty hair and does not have requirements for "absolute smoothness";
• add a spicy “zest” to any image;
• excellent form retention throughout the day.

Speaking specifically about the "pompadour" haircut, then her creation technique is as follows: the hair from the temporal parts and the back of the head are cut short (or shaved), and long strands are left at the crown. They are usually combed back and fixed with the help of "styling" means. Women's haircut "pompadour" is created by analogy with the men's, but the side strands in most cases remain elongated. A vintage haircut looks great on hair of different shades.

As for men, the “pompadour” haircut significantly rejuvenates their appearance. She can be chosen by young men and mature men. It is advisable for handsome men with a beard to style their hair in such a way that the main volume is concentrated on the sides and near the temples.

For young men, styling with combed hair and slightly raised up is relevant. High crest visually increases growth. A haircut on men with a round and oval face shape is especially good.

The female version of the haircut suits miniature ladies with expressive features. High bouffant “bares” the forehead and focuses on the eyes and eyebrows. Ladies with an elongated face from the hair "pompadour" is better to refuse.

Note that a vintage haircut implies a thick head of hair, otherwise the “forelock” will not have the proper volume. For everyday styling you will need:

• round comb;
• styling products (foam, varnish);
• hair dryer.

Wash the hair and rub a small amount of mousse into them. We divide the front strands into a parting and use a hair dryer to dry them (from the frontal part to the back of the head). We cover the hair with varnish.

Another interesting option is a “wet” styling. We act by analogy with the first instruction, only at the final stage we apply gel or wax on the “forelock”. This styling looks very stylish.

The “pompadour” haircut is adored by modern fashionistas and women of fashion:

• the male version of the “pompadour” haircut makes brutal beauties even more attractive;

• on women, "pompadour" looks very playful and extraordinary.

The attractiveness of the beautiful marquise inspired stylists to create different versions of hairstyles a la "pompadour". High bangs with fleece are amazingly combined with a high tail, a low bun and a braid in French. So, in order to make a vintage hairstyle in a modern way, we take:

• brush and thin comb;
• “Styling” products (mousse and strong hold varnish);
• set of invisibles;
• curling iron.

Carefully comb the hair, apply the foam and select the front strand. Lift it up and do a comb. The “roller” should turn out to be voluminous. The roots of the combed strand are varnished for better fixation. Next, gently lower the hair and lay back. It should result in a careless air “roller”. We fix it with invisibility. The rest of the hair is combed again and slightly curled with a curling iron.

A “roller” of hair can have various shapes, even triangular. To create such a styling you will need:

• thin comb;
• silicone rubber;
• set of hairpins;
• styling products (foam, varnish).

We apply foam on clean hair, select a voluminous front strand and create a “roller”. Its shape should resemble a triangle (horizontal). We fasten it with studs and abundantly varnish. The remaining hair is taken in the tail. This styling looks very original and is perfect for an evening out.

A high-pile hairstyle also goes well with weaving. To create such a styling is not difficult:

• comb the hair and traditionally comb the front strand;
• we fix it with hairpins, and divide the rest of the hair into three parts;
• weave them a French braid;
• we fix the ends with an elastic band, and then we take a satin ribbon and tie a playful bow around it.

In order for the “pompadour” hairstyle to look stunning and attract admiring glances, Pay attention to the recommendations presented:

• beautiful styling implies “work” with clean hair;

• do not make the “roller” too smooth - it should be slightly sloppy and airy;

• for owners of thin hair it is better to lay the front strand with a pile on the side;

• “Pompadour” looks amazing on highlighted hair and hair with complex coloring;

• Before creating a hairstyle, do not overweight your hair with mousse or gel.
