Originally named after King Louis XV’s mistress, the Pompadour hairstyle was made famous by a very different King in the 1950s. A present day red carpet favourite, it’s still a symbol of rugged rebellion.

More flexible than you’d think, the modern pompadour can suit most face types and gives you the chance to experiment with length. The edges stay tapered and tight while up top it's all about volume and length. Wear yours polished, wild or however you like; but always with attitude. A strong look if you’ve got a beard or like to go a few days without a shave.
