Who it suits
Height swept back lengthens a round or square face.
Think twice with a oblong face
That much height makes a long face look even longer.
How to style and look after a modern pompadour
- Blow-dry back, then a medium-hold pomade.
- Wash the pomade out with a clarifying shampoo weekly.
- Sides every 3-4 weeks.
