Welcome to MakeupTalk! I'm Janelle from NY. Do you happen to have a pic of the specific style you're trying to do? Also, how long is your hair?? It's a style that's much easier to do on men, or on really short hair. Longer hair is a bit too heavy to keep it in 'shape' without lots of pins and sprays.

Well on short hair, it's pretty easy... the top is usually combed forward first, sprayed or gelled & dried (for height), then combed going back - the back part is usually combed from each side, going toward the middle (like a D.A.) Then the top can be teased & lifted and blended to the back.

I saw a really cool and easy way of doing a pomp online a while ago. I've tried it myself and its quite effective.
You start off by tying the hair you want in your pomp with a hair elastic. Then you loosen the elastic so you've basically got a loose pony tail. (You can then backcomb the hair underneath just to help it get volume/life) Then you take the end of your pony tail and pin it down to your head so the the hair is all pouffy and gives that pomp effect. Then cover the rest in hairspray..
I've used this a couple of times, and it works fairly well. Unfortunatly my bangs arent long enough for a pomp at the front so i make one at the back of my head. Anyway just thought I'd share.

Oh! lol She kinda looks like you a little! Hair is a little light, but I just figured you dyed it ... lol whoops! Sorry!!

I love that style but whenever I do it my hubby says I look like a turkey

***cottoncandy*** · 03-22-2006, 09:27 AM

i love this look but i cant wear it because i already have a long face and this just makes it look even longer. i think its best for people with round faces to give it some length.

Pinkii, I found this little snippet online about thr pompadour:

Inspired by the pompadour (you'll see more of this in the fall), stylist Chuck Amos pulled this glamorous look together by applying Pantene Pro-V Root Lifter Voluminizing Spray Gel for volume.

He slicked back the sides with a moisturizing cream, keeping the height at the top, and pinned the hair back. Amos repeated the process to create another pompadour at the nape of the neck.

Then he secured the loose hair with a band and wrapped hair around the band for coverage. Survival tip: A holding spray such as L'Oreal Professionnel Volume Extreme will keep this sculpted look in place.

HTH!
