Johnny
I have not posted for a while and I'm ready to start the new year off right!
This is a picture I took last year for my friend Johnny Boyd a world renowned singer songwriter and his wife Angela.
He is wearing a contemporary version of the classic Pompadour. The main difference between Johnny's style and the classic Pompadour is the length on top. The classic style would have had a lot more length with the front pushed forward at the hairline and then combed back tapering lower towards the crown forming a wave shape when viewed in profile.
I would use a pomade or paste to achieve this look after the haircut.
Did you know?
The Pompadour was a fashion trend in the 1950s among male rockabilly artists and actors like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Marlon Brando (The Wild One) and James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause). In the late twentieth century, rockabilly revival musicians such as The Stray Cats with Brian Setzer, The Pole Cats, The Rockats and other musicians in the punk scene such as Pretenders bassist Pete Farndon, members of the band The Clash, Social Distortion and the Disgusteens were known for wearing this style at times. Morrissey, formerly of the band The Smiths, has also worn a pompadour hair style throughout his career. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia © 2001-2006
