The Pompadour Styling course is a bonus module that demonstrates how to create a classic men’s hairstyle without a part, combed entirely back. This technique is designed for clients with longer hair on top who are looking for an alternative to the everyday middle part or simply want to achieve a bold, lifted look. The course teaches how to use thick hair to create a hairstyle with lasting volume, dynamic movement, and controlled texture.
Vlad Pozhoga walks you through the entire styling process step by step, starting with applying pomade to damp hair to give it initial control. He then demonstrates why it’s crucial to separate the bangs and leave them for the very end. The blow-dry process is divided into stages: first, drying the sides and back in the right direction, and then precisely curling and lifting the bangs on a brush with minimal airflow.
In this course, you'll learn:
- Apply a small amount of pomade to damp hair as a pre-styler to control the hair and create a foundation for your hairstyle.
- Purposely setting aside the bangs and leaving them until the very end—why this simplifies and speeds up the entire styling process.
- Dry the hair in stages, starting from the sides and finishing with precise styling to create volume on top.
- The technique of curling the bangs on a brush using the lowest heat setting on the hair dryer to create the characteristic lift of a pompadour without making the hair frizzy.
- An unconventional method of setting a hairstyle by spraying hairspray into the airflow from a hair dryer to achieve a dynamic, uneven texture.
- Final styling options for the bangs—swept completely back, slightly to the side, or with a controlled sweep—to tailor the style to the client.
This bonus material is the perfect complement for hairstylists who want to show their clients with longer hair a second, more striking styling option. After watching this course, you’ll be able to quickly and efficiently create a classic pompadour, using unconventional techniques to craft a hairstyle full of volume, movement, and character that doesn’t look stiffly styled.
