The Modern Twist
What’s old is new again. This updated version of an old classic is sure to impress. The shorter
length means there’s less day-to-day maintenance than its longer cousin, the Pompadour, and the
slick backed style keeps you looking sharp.
Ask your barber:
Ask your barber for a 0.5 low, faded into a number four. The key to this look is reliant texture.
Ensure that the front of the hair is left full to allow the hair to sit back. The hair from the crown to
the neck should lay flat as this will enhance the Pompadoured fringe.
How to Style:
You need a round brush, a hair dryer, and Pall Mall Barbers Pliable Clay.
Blow-dry the hair going forward until you get to the front. Blow-dry the front of the hair
backwards. This will give you volume and enhance the front of the hair.
To get a matted look the hair needs to be bone dry. Place a small amount of the Pliable Clay
through the mid-lengths and ends then put into place with the hands.
