Edgy Pompadour
This bold, modern pompadour features a striking, uneven top section with tousled, spiked strands creating an edgy, textured look. The sides are closely cropped, creating a dramatic contrast and emphasizing the height and volume on top. This hairstyle has an effortless, punk-inspired vibe that can be styled to suit both casual and more formal occasions.
To achieve this edgy pompadour, start by applying a volumizing mousse or styling product to damp hair. Use a blow dryer to create lift and volume in the top section, directing the airflow upwards and away from the face. Once the hair is mostly dry, use a small, round brush to shape and mold the top strands, creating the desired spiky, tousled effect. Finish by applying a high-hold styling wax or pomade, gently manipulating the hair with your fingers to create the desired texture and shape. For a more polished look, you can lightly brush or comb the sides to smooth them out.
