How to Cut a Boys Pompadour Or Quiff Haircut

Hi everyone it's April with Hair 101 and I have this awesome kid today he's letting me do whatever I want on his hair We are going to do a fun pompadour haircut on this cute kid i'm going to show you how to do that I washed his hair it had some gel in it I'm going to part off where I want the hair to stay long while it's wet which is going to be right where the head starts to roll on the higher part right on the roll of his head the high part let's see yeah the Mohawk section will be parted off i'm going to round it in the back and let it swoop down a little bit then we are going to be cutting the rest of this i'm going to take the dryer and dry this so I can use the clippers on it also it's going to help the hair stay i'm not going to dry the top so that can stay wet, i'm not going to dry the sides that i'm going to be cutting so it will help it lay down we're going to start on these sides over here we're going to take all the bulk out with the clippers and I have my clipper closed we're going to be going nice and tight then we'll be taking it all the way up I am gonna leave a little bit of a transition area in here because you don't want it to be too dramatic for this kid he's going to be styling but not like shaved line around the top of his head so we won't go too crazy just keep removing the bulk on this pass that is a gabbadigga what do you need sweet pea? Daddy >>>> ok Ambree go and play alright we are removing the bulk make sure your clippers go on top of the comb and not underneath i'm going to taper that in What i'm wanting to see up here for it to be really short short enough to not be sticking straight out and to blend down but not short enough to look like it's been buzzed all the way to the scalp and i'm doing that all the way around the line matching it up making it all even all the way around that part that we made see how it sticks out right here?? i'm going to lift that up a little bit and taper it in so that it rounds we are going to round those layers off with the clippers so there is gonna be a disconnect in this haircut where it starts to get really long I always push the hair foward and shape it to the way the hair grows I think that that tapers it makes the profile when you are looking at them this way look really good it doesn't stick out of their head it doesn't have a big wall of hair it grows very subtle i'm taking off that really hard line that has formed by lifting up the hair and tapering it layering it in a little bit more so it has more of this round look Bless You!!! are you okay? yeah alright so now I've gotten this done up here i'm going to taper the back I need you to look all the way down here at these letters i'm going to open my clipper blade so that it's taller and i'm going to.... Look all the way down! i'm going to flip okay look all the way down at your tummy there you go this is all in the wrist it's flicking the wrist it's still we so let me remove more bulk if you have too much bulk and try to do this then it can pull the hair a little bit so make sure that you get the majority of it trimmed down i'm going to take it nice and tight go ahead and look all the way down at your tummy do you need a tissue? you can tell me if you need a tissue, i'll get you one and i'll move this way so you need to move to where you're cutting don't ever try to reach around keep your arm where it's comfortable so you can have control over the clipper blades taper in you can go through and use the comb to match this up with what you've already cut on the top i'm not using a guard on this, you definitely could I'm just not because I want there to be a gradual change I don't want it to be all one length up into this top I want it to slowly build and i'm able to achieve that with the comb and the razor than if I were to throw a guard on there but you definitely can if you are scared of doing it this way it doesn't really matter what guard you use if you were doing it a little bit longer you would try to get it shorter that what we established up here I was more concerned about this up here because I didn't want it to be too short that's why I did it this way making that first then blending this up to the point I like the top then I'm tapering it up on the side right around the ear I leave the clipper open then wrap it around the ear with this away from the head the other side of the blade away from the head and that helps me get that taper then I can go through with a comb and blend it up okay we are going to do this other side with the clippers open... you are going to follow the shape of the ear right here at the sideburn you flip it up like you did at the back then take the comb in and blend up make sure the profiles are looking good you can usually tell if there's a long spot just by looking down the hair this way making sure that it looks good that way it also tells you about how their head is shaped because sometimes people have a bump above the ear you can make that look really nice by shaping it in with the clippers this way and making the hair appear to be smooth instead of having that bump in there I think we need to take the T-edgers and clean up all the edges now i'm going to do a straight sideburn and follow these tickle they don't hurt now look down i will go ahead and take them up like this then continue the fade up in a straight line just to get any neck hairs that might not have been cut sorry about that buddy you have a hairy neck you need to hold still good job buddy the sides of this haircut are pretty much done with the top now so it's really long oh he's totally styling it already but we need to do some blend work with the sides because it hangs over the edges a little bit too much so the way i'm going to do that i'm going to start in the back i'm going to take a section okay look straight right there i'm going to cut this i'm going to point cut it and follow the line from the bottom then follow it straight up i'm actually angling it out a little bit i'm point cutting that just trying to get that to blend in a little bit and not have so much of a difference between the top and the sides anything that's reaching that guide I will point cut off the top we're gonna go to the front now and I need to cut some of the length off up here we are going to point cut into this. I want it to be about there i'm going to take about an inch off point cut into it then I will take that and bring that section back on the mohawk too now i'm going to follow that guide that I just established in the front to this back section that we've been cutting off point cutting up they should match up. see there's the back guide and the top one they are about the same okay so we have the length on the top established we need to blend in the sides a little bit more and i'm going to do that by taking small sections I will pull that straight out from the head and point cut up grabbing some of this hair that we cut from before and bringing it straight up and once you get to the middle nothing else should reach over there maybe just a little bit then do it on the other side i'll put some razoring in this so it can bend more it has a lot of hard lines in it from the tips so i'm going to take the razor and razor out some texture in this does that pull your hair?? yeah it does that's a razor sorry i'll be soft okay i'm taking the thinning shears and thinning out anything that is a hard line so it will be soft if it's sticking out a little bit like right in here where every little boy has a big cowlick now he has some texture in it we are going to blow dry this up into a pompadour style so i have a round brush here i'm going to use this to get some of the curl in there he has really straight hair we're trying to get lots of volume on the top here alright so now we need some product we will use this dry wax this is a Enjoy dry wax and to style a pompadour you have to have some pomade in there you have to have something to tame this awesome body and smooth it in and make it look like it's done and we're going with his cowlick back here his cowlick swoops around and goes this way so we are sweeping it all this way you don't want it to be spiking up in the back he is going to be rocking this haircut all day today looking awesome looking like a movie star which movie start do you look like right now do you think you look like a movie star? is it different than you usually wear your hair? it's fun when you say do whatever you want you get something different do you think that's fun? alright I hope you guys like this pompadour little boys haircut and I hope you guys subscribe to my channel and make a comment let me know what you think we'll see you next time Bye!!
