Styling Feature: Pompadour...part 2.....

Few weeks back I traveled out of town for like a 3-day stay and wanted a style that will prevent me from manipulating my hair that much. To cut down on styling my hair each morning, I had the back of my hair french rolled very tightly by my mom (using lots and lots of bobby pins) while leaving out section of hair in the front for my pompadour style. Now rewind to a week before my travel, which I did a hot oil treatment (EVOO and Castor oil),deep conditioned, and put my hair in medium two strand twists. The morning of my travel I unraveled my twists and of course french rolled the back, and then pinned up the left out hair in front without combing out the twists. My entire 3-day stay I rocked a pompadour style, and all I did was brush up my french roll and pin up my front hair into a pomp. In the night before bed all I do is to moisturize with my butter mix and then tie up my hair. Below are pictures of the twists I rocked for a few days and then pictures of my pompadour styles while out of town. I hope you all have great weekend and remain blessed.

Styling Feature: Pompadour

Currently, one of my go to hairstyle is the pompadour and I have been incorporating it into my daily styling regimen. This particular hairstyle gives me a more sophisticated and elegant look which I love. It is very important when choosing a style, to go for one that helps accentuates your facial features, and this does it for me 100%. I adore this style because I can get creative with ways of making it my own and just having fun with it. Pompadour hairstyle to me is an elegant style for both a day and night look. I always put a twist to this style by either french rolling the back of my hair, creating a bun, or wrapping up the back of my hair with a scarf. The pompadour dates back to the 18th century when it gained initial popularity among fashionable women such as the mistress of King Louis XV, Madame de pompadour, which the name pompadour originated from. A pompadour can be achieved by combing the sides of the hair back, while pulling the top of the hair forward and curling over itself. However, there are different ways as to how to achieve a pompadour, and pictures below will show how these styles can be worn giving you ideas on how you can make it your own.

Men do rock pompadour too you know :)

In my subsequent post to come I will be showing you how I rock the pompadour hairstyle and what I did to achieve the various looks. Remain blessed.
