How-To: Basics of a Rockabilly Pompadour

After many outtakes, edits and fuck ups, I gave up and made this video in one go. I'm tired as hell, face has been eaten up by bugs from the yardwork yesterday, I have a gnarly headache, and I could use some coffee! So suck it! Clearly, I gave up at the end. I don't care. I just want to get the promo-code out to you folks!

The video gives you the basic how-to. There's not much to it folks! Just gotta know how to slick your hair, make a sharp part, and experiment with the pomp! A lot of trial and error, and you'll be lookin' slick in no time!

Hey man I'm thinking about getting a pomp and I'm growing out my hair atm. Should I do a trim before I try to get a pomp or should I just do it when my hair is the right length?

And I like taking showers every morning, can I still do that? I've read that people keep grease in for a while when having this hair style.

Also: I have this hair wax, can I use that instead of pomade?

@TKMVillar You'll be more satisfied with a proper cut. I take showers in the morning too and sometimes pomp my hair right after, while my hair is still wet.

You can use whatever hair product you want, it just depends on how much "credibility" you want.

ur hair looks great bro. have you ever dont another persons pomp for them? you shouild make a video doing anothers hair so we can get the fine details more clearly. Im going bald in front and i find that pomades with fiber seems to make my pomp thicker. I use robs chop shop grease. 50 wt. will hold your hair in a hurricane super stuff.anyways man, thanks for the video, i enjoyed your work of perfection. dan

@mrpinhead I've done a couple of buddies hair. But it won't give the viewer a first person perspective, as if they were looking in the mirror, to properly emulate what I do and how I do it.

What do you do when you have thick curly hair close to afro? I know its possible looking at little richard and chuck berry, but how!!

[THEERebelRouser]

@gokolink Sorry, I wouldn't know as I don't have that hair type. A buddy of mine who has really curly/kinky hair, recently got his hair to pomp. So it's not impossible.

how am i to achieve a pompadour as fantastic as yours with a half-shaved head? :(

[jeffreythetyrant]

"quit crying about it!" i just got my first pomp yesterday, i love it, great hair style. and this helped me a lot in how to maintain it. you sir, have swag.

[Spyflugan91]

You sir are a legend! I've never come across ANY pompadour hairstyling videos when someone does a parted AND forward-tilting pomp! It's just the nicest and coolest way to do the pomp and that's how I rock it too! =) I don't like that so many people comb their front back, it is as you say weird-looking! Thumbs up! =)

hey man i enjoy watching your vids and reading your blong, it has helped ALOT, but i was wondering, are you sponsored or endourced by all these pomades you use??

[DarkBlazer22]

How short does the sides have to be?

[juicebringerknight]

What if my hair is thinner on top. I am not bald or balding. Its just thinner there. Ive used Murray's before and i thought it worked ok, but looking for other suggestions that wont break my wallet. Also, what if i don't want a pomp all the time like a few days a week?

You should make a video where you pomp your hair using only your hands, that way it would be easier to get the basics.

And your videos are great btw, keep it up!

What do you ask your barber for when you want to do this. I have my hair short on the sides. Medium on top. How long would it take to grow my hair out. Any idea.
