Mens Hairstyles

Mens Hairstyles!
I made my Prom date my senior year do a "Pompadour Hairstyle" :)
The Pompadour Hairstyle
Ricky Nelson
James Dean
Elvis Presley
Johnny Cash


"Pompadour haircut". The hairstyle was short in the back including the sides and the top left being longer. Then the front being combed up with hair gel/hair grease to hold it back and to show some of that shine! A.K.A Rockabilly

Rock Hudson Quiff Hairstyle
Rock Hudson
This style was best used with a man with thicker hair. The hair has to be cut so that it is longer in the front than in the back. The side of the mans hair would be slicked back using gel to hold it back and the hair in the front is combed straight up then is flipped either to the back or the front! 
(Similar to Pompadour)


Conservative Hairstyle
 Don Draper "Mad Men"
Jimmy Stewart

This was a more professional look for older men. They would have their hair cut short and applied gel to practically glue to their head. To style they would have hair parted and combed straight over to the other side and same in the back. Yes gel was used; cream was not necessarily used. 

Slicked Back Hairstyle
Bela Lugosi

Hair cream was used and was applied liberally to plaster the hair to the mans head, and heir hair was combed to the front and back also the side and to the top.


Duck Tail Hairstyle
Tony Curtis

This style was styled by parting the hair on one side, combing the top over to the other side,and combing the sides straight back to then have them both meet in the middle of the back of the head. Hair cream was used to hold the hair completely in place!
